There are five booklets available, written at a 5-6th grade reading level and targeted by cancer type, that explain the connection between smoking and each cancer type, describe the benefits of quitting smoking after cancer, and address some of the barriers cancer patients face to quit smoking when fighting cancer. Each booklet also includes four testimonials inspired from conversations with patients.
Participants will receive the standard care typically offered for smoking cessation.
