Summary

This trial aims to test a smoking cessation program for cancer patients using videos. The researchers want to see if the program is helpful, easy to use, and liked by the participants before starting a larger study

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have any type of cancer, are currently smoking cigarettes, and receiving care at the Medical University of South Carolina. Participants must be able to read and understand English.
What is being tested?
The study tests a video-based smoking cessation program tailored for cancer patients. It aims to see if this approach is workable, well-received by participants, and effective in increasing knowledge about quitting smoking before a larger trial.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve informational content rather than medical treatments or drugs, there may not be direct side effects; however, participants might experience stress or discomfort discussing their smoking habits.
