In this approach to smoking cessation, smokers are believed
to be inherently motivated to quit. Relapses in quitting do not
indicate a lack of motivation, but the persistence of physical
and psychological factors that makes quitting difficult. In an
approach called Restart Prevention, these problems are ad-
dressed in the following four areas: weight control, withdrawal
symptom control, habit control, and stress control.

Stop Smoking Clinics make use of lectures, films, and group
and individualized counseling. The materials come from the
extensive research of Studies on Smoking, the latest research
on smoking and health, information and materials provided by
the National health associations, and State and local smoking
and health groups. The clinics have been held in Erie County,
Pennsylvania, and in the State of lndianaforthe Cummins En-
gine Company. The clinics consist of 25 sessions over a 12-
month period with a concentration of 15 sessions during the
first 10 weeks. Participants are continually checked with a
device that measures their carbon monoxide exhalations to
determine whether they have started smoking again. In-
dividualized counseling is used to maintain permanent smok-
ing cessation for those having difficulties. At the end of the
year each participant is checked to see that smoking cessation
has been maintained.

The SOS Stop Smoking Clinics include clinics for the general
public, special clinics for business and industry, and personal-
ized clinics for long-term smoking cessation. Recently, well-
ness programs have been initiated for companies that want all
smokers to become permanent former smokers in a 2- to 5-
year period. This program will enable them to have a smoke-
free environment before the year 2000.

even fewer resources and disseminated in South Carolina and
elsewhere.

Program implementation will begin shortly in Florence using
community resources and directed by a coordinating commit-
tee of Florence leaders. One of the behaviors targeted for in-
tervention is smoking. Since Florence is in the center of South
Carolina's tobacco belt, as well as stroke and heart disease
belt, the manner and enthusiasm with which smoking cessa-
tion is pursued within this community will be very interesting
to observe.

spirit of group support emerges. At the completion of the
program, participants are able to list three diseases that have
a direct relationship to cigarette smoking, evaluate personal
baseline pulmonary functions, and identify resources that
provide ongoing support for those who have stopped smok-
ing. The program uses various pamphlets and materials sup-
plied by the American Cancer Society, the American Heart
Association, and the American Lung Association. In addition,
two films about smoking are shown. A followup evaluation is
made to determine the percentage of participants who have
stopped smoking or have reduced the number of cigarettes

Class participants choose when and how often they want to
return for motivation. Course content includes a variety of
strategies modified from the American Lung Association's
Guide For Clinic Leaders - Freedom From Smoking. The
EHS program differs because of the inclusion of a com-
puterized health risk appraisal, which is a graphic display cai-
cuiating the effect that cigarette smoking and other heaith risk
behaviors have on overall heaith age. Other strategies used
in the EHS program include the use of films, nutritionists, and
fitness specialists as guest speakers, and everyone's favorite
treat - ail the ice water with lemon they can drink. A heavy
emphasis is placed on the use of behavioral change contracts.
These written commitmentsthat identify outcome behaviorare
secured during the first meeting but may be changed at any

Descrlptlon:

The department's objectives are: 1) to help prevent young
people from using tobacco products; 2) to assist smokers who
want to quit; and 3) to promote clean indoor air in Texas. The
Tobacco Information Clearinghouse of the Office of Smoking
and Health was established to coordinate these information
and education activities. The Tobacco Information Clearing-
house has three objectives: first, to establish a Statewide
clearinghouse for tobacco information; second, to provide
technical assistance to worksites and communities in the
development of smoking policies, programs, and ordinances;
and, third, to carry out a series of promotional initiatives to
publicize the availability of programs, information, and sup
port. To achieve these goals, the Directory of Smoking
Resources and Contacts in Texas was published in 1986. In
additiin, staff are trained to respond to requests for informa-
tion, to research and maintain the directory of the current
programs, and to handle referrals to cessation and interven-
tion programs. Training for cessation facilitators is also
