“…Self-help interventions are efficacious for smoking cessation, with potentially high reach at low cost. 28 The economy of the targeted intervention yielded a cost per quitter lower than most smoking cessation interventions, 29 particularly when excluding smokers with low dependence. Costs might be reduced substantially by using a mobile health format, which would also enable more frequent contact over a longer duration of treatment.…”

Background Although many smokers use electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) to quit smoking, most continue to smoke while vaping. This dual use might delay cessation and increase toxicant exposure. We aimed to test the efficacy of a self-help intervention designed to help dual users to quit smoking.Methods In this three-arm randomised controlled trial we recruited individuals in the USA using Facebook and multimedia advertisements. Included participants were 18 years or older, smoked at least weekly in the preceding year, and vaped at least weekly in the preceding month. We used computer generated randomisation with balancedpermuted blocks (block size 10, with 2-4-4 ratio) to allocate participants to assessment only (ASSESS group), generic smoking cessation self-help booklets (GENERIC group), or booklets targeting dual users (eTARGET group). Individuals in the generic or targeted intervention groups received monthly cessation materials for 18 months, with assessments every 3 months for 24 months. The main outcome was self-reported 7-day point-prevalence smoking abstinence at each assessment point. All randomly allocated participants were included in primary analyses using generalised estimating equations for each of 20 datasets created by multiple imputation. Analysis of the χ²s produced an F test. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02416011, and is now closed.

“…Quitlines provide smoking cessation support including telephone counselling and written materials ( Livingstone‐Banks et al, 2019 ; Matkin et al, 2019 ). Through quitlines, telephone support and written materials can reach large populations ( Zhu et al, 2002 ) and particular populations such as young people ( Cummins et al, 2007 ) and those living in rural areas ( Sheffer et al, 2012 ).…”

Highlights 93.5 % of respondents felt video counselling for smoking cessation was acceptable. 90 % of respondents would recommend video support for quitting to friends or family. On 7 of 10 measures video counselling was as acceptable as telephone counselling. On all 7 measures video counselling was more acceptable than written materials. Quitlines could consider video counselling as another way to assist people to quit.

“…Patients may benefit from specific counseling on how continued smoking affects their cancer treatment and outcome. Regardless of the approach, numerous studies have shown that the delivery of a pamphlet on smoking cessation (as is the current standard of care in many surgical oncology clinics including this institution) is only marginally better than no intervention at all . However, because our data also suggest that this patient population exhibits feelings of hopelessness and/or a lack of desire to quit tobacco it is crucial to distinguish between patients who are actually interested in smoking cessation treatment so as not to waste time and resources.…”

Background and Objectives Negative consequences of tobacco use during cancer treatment are well‐documented but more in‐depth, patient‐level data are needed to understand patient beliefs about continued smoking (vs cessation) during gastrointestinal (GI) cancer treatment. Methods We conducted semi‐structured interviews with 10 patients who were active smokers being treated for GI cancers and 5 caregivers of such patients. All interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed verbatim, and uploaded to NVivo. We consensus coded data inductively using conventional content analysis and iteratively developed our codebook. We developed data matrices to categorize the themes regarding patient perspectives on smoking as well as presumed barriers to smoking cessation during active therapy. Results Our interviews revealed three consistent themes: (a) Smoking cessation is not necessarily desired by many patients who have received a cancer diagnosis; (b) Failure in past quit attempts may lead to feelings of hopeless about future attempts, especially during cancer treatment; (c) Patients perceived little to no access to smoking cessation treatment at the time of their cancer diagnosis. Conclusions Well‐designed systemic changes that promote the positive and efficacious effects of quitting smoking during cancer treatment, and that provide barrier‐free access to such treatments may be helpful in promoting tobacco‐free behavior during cancer treatment.
