The Great American Smokeout's 25th anniversary was observed
Thursday at a rally in the state Capitol courtyard, where teenagers
put the "Big Butt" to rest in its ashtray. The Smokeout is an
annual national event, aimed at encouraging smokers to quit,
that grew out of a 1971 event in Randolph, Mass., asking people
to give up cigarettes for one day and to donate the money saved
to a high school scholarship fund.
