| Article/Chapter Title: | Smoking cessation and cancer survivors |
| Abstract: | (from the chapter) Cancer survivorship provides extraordinary opportunities, as well as challenges to promoting smoking cessation. By personalizing the harms of smoking and focusing efforts on the restoration and maintenance of good health, cancer diagnosis can be a catalyst for smoking cessation among cancer survivors and their tobacco-dependent loved ones. However, cancer also invokes unique challenges to smoking behavior change that must be considered in the development and implementation of smoking cessation programs for cancer survivors. In this chapter, we will: (1) provide a rationale for the importance of providing smoking cessation programs to cancer survivors and their families; (2) review prevalence rates of smoking and cessation; (3) briefly review clinical practice guidelines for the delivery of evidence-based, smoking cessation interventions in cancer care; (4) summarize the unique challenges of promoting smoking cessation in cancer survivors, and (5) highlight future directions for promoting smoking cessation in cancer survivorship.
