Summary

This trial will study how well a program called CEASE works to help people quit smoking who have lung cancer.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for current or recent smokers (within the last 6 months) who are over 18, can read and write in English, and have or might have lung-related cancer. It's not for those who quit smoking more than 6 months ago or have urgent health issues like severe breathing problems, very low blood pressure, confusion from high calcium levels, or dehydration.

What is being tested?

The study is testing how well a program called CEASE works when it's added to usual care that helps people stop smoking in a lung cancer treatment setting. Researchers will use different methods to see how effective this integration is compared to the standard support services.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on implementing a tobacco treatment intervention rather than medication, there may be no direct side effects like with drugs. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort related to quitting smoking.
