BREAKING NEWS

Tidewater, Virginia, 11:20 a.m., Aug. 11, 2007 (AS3
News).......An aging Virginia man has proven it possible for
baby boomers to break free of the vile nicotine addiction by not
smoking for a full week. A modest, unassuming man, Wayne, 61,
says he gives credit "mostly to myself. I'm the one who made
the decision and I'm the one who has endured the withdrawal
symtoms without giving in" he said.

"I do appreciate the tremendous support I've found on line with
the AS3 (alt.support.stop-smoking newsgroup) folks, and the
wonderful website at www.whyquit.com," he added. A veteran
quitter, Wayne has two previous quits; one for 18 months in the
mid-1990's and another for about 8 months in 2005.

According to Wayne, the WhyQuit website provided his main
inspiration to do the second "Cold Turkey" quit of his life -
his first eight-month CT quit was about 2 years ago. "When I
looked at the options of either complete physical withdrawal
within 3 short days, or dragging it out for weeks and months,"
he said, "the 3-day option just seemed to make more sense."

As for his future plans, Wayne says he intends on breathing lots
of fresh air and spending the money he saves on fuel for his
boat. "There's no air so fresh as the air you breathe on the
Chesapeake Bay while pulling in some nice flounder or rock
fish," he exclaimed.

Wayne also has an ambitious goal of someday adding yet another
status to the AS3 Old Fogies Variety Pack. "I think there should
be solid gold tubs for Neanderthal Old Fogies," he grinned.
"Those would be old fogies with two or more decades of
continuous smobriety."
