This mixed-methods, observational cohort study will assess intensive tobacco treatment with carbon monoxide monitoring offered to all eligible smoking patients presenting for cancer treatment to the NCCC at our main Lebanon campus and our very rural St. Johnsbury campus.

Cessation rates among the intensive tobacco treatment will be compared to usual care, matched historical controls, and to patients who refuse all tobacco treatment program elements.
