“…Younger age, depression, and having a household member who smokes are factors that are associated with not quitting [91]. Smoking cessation treatments for patients with lung cancer are similar to those for patients with COPD and follow-up is often tied to other treatment visits and specific counselling designed to increase self-efficacy, and to reduce fatalistic thinking and emotional distress.…”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, asthma and pulmonary tuberculosis are common pulmonary diseases that are caused or worsened by tobacco smoking. Growing observational evidence suggests that symptoms and prognosis of these conditions improve upon smoking cessation. Despite increasing numbers of (small) randomised controlled trials suggesting intensive smoking cessation treatments work in people with pulmonary diseases many patients are not given specific advice on the benefits or referred for intensive cessation treatments and, therefore, continue smoking. This is a qualitative review regarding smoking cessation in patients with COPD and other pulmonary disorders, written by a group of European Respiratory Society experts. We describe the epidemiological links between smoking and pulmonary disorders, the evidence for benefits of stopping smoking, how best to assess tobacco dependence and what interventions currently work best to help pulmonary patients quit. Finally, we describe characteristics and management of any "hardcore" smoker who finds it difficult to quit with standard approaches. @ERSpublications Smoking cessation is crucial for respiratory patients: every patient must be given advice and help to quit http://ow.ly/ITgsW

“…In fact, depressed smokers may perceive quitting as difficult and stressful, and may use cigarettes to self-medicate depressive feelings [75,76]. Depression is associated with continued smoking following a lung cancer diagnosis [48,77], which may worsen the prognosis (e.g., through behavioral and biological pathways such as chronic hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis activation) [78]. Thus, the psychological effects of having lung cancer and depression concurrently may lead to a heightened sense of vulnerability, delaying quit attempts [75].…”

Disparities Between Blacks and Whites in Tobacco and Lung Cancer Treatment

et al. 2011

Racial disparities exist in lung cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality. Smoking is responsible for the majority of lung cancers, and racial disparities also exist in smoking outcomes. Black smokers are less likely than white smokers to engage in evidence-based tobacco treatment, and black smokers are less likely than white smokers to stop smoking. Continued smoking following a lung cancer diagnosis is a potential indicator of poor lung cancer treatment outcomes, yet lung cancer patients who smoke are unlikely to receive evidence-based tobacco treatment. The risks from continued smoking after diagnosis deserve attention as a modifiable factor toward lessening racial disparities in lung cancer outcomes.

“…Estimates for the prevalence of smoking have ranged from 24% to 60% among newly diagnosed lung cancer patients as compared to 12% to 29% among the general United States population [5][6][7] . Although the diagnosis of lung cancer presents a compelling reason to quit smoking, studies have estimated that between 8% to 17% of smokers continue to smoke after the diagnosis 5,6 . This finding underscores the highly addictive nature of tobacco dependence and the importance of assessing smoking status at diagnosis and incorporating smoking cessation interventions into clinical care.…”

OBJECTIVES-Provide an overview of the impact of smoking after a diagnosis of lung cancer, discuss the relationship between smoking cessation and improved outcomes during the lung cancer trajectory, present information about tobacco dependence evidence-based treatments, reimbursement for these treatments, and tobacco-related resources available for patients and health care professionals, and emphasize the important role of nurses.DATA SOURCES-Published articles, reports, websites, and research studies.CONCLUSION-Tobacco use is associated with 30% of cancer deaths. Prevention of tobacco use and cessation are primary ways to prevent lung cancer. However, even after a diagnosis of lung cancer, smoking cessation is important in improving survival and quality of life. Although effective tobacco dependence treatments are available to help smokers quit smoking, persistent efforts over repeated contacts may be necessary to achieve long-term cessation.IMPLICATION FOR NURSING PRACTICE-Oncology nursing action is essential in the identification of and intervention with patients who struggle with tobacco dependence after diagnosis.

Lung cancer is one of the most common smoking-related malignancies accounting for the second most common cancer, and the leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States (US). Lung cancer causes more deaths than the next three most common cancers (breast, colorectal and prostate) combined. An estimated 160, 390 deaths will occur from lung cancer during 2007. It is estimated that 90% of lung cancers are related to smoking. 1 NIH Public AccessAuthor Manuscript Semin Oncol Nurs. Author manuscript; available in PMC 2009 February 1.Although the link between smoking and lung cancer is well-established, the benefits of smoking cessation after a diagnosis of lung cancer are not as widely recognized. Smoking cessation can improve survival, treatment efficacy, and improve overall quality of life 2-4 . Approximately half of all smokers have quit prior to their diagnosis 5 . Despite a diagnosis of cancer, the addictive properties of nicotine can make quitting difficult and the risk for relapse high. This article provides an overview of the impact of continued smoking after a diagnosis of lung cancer and the importance of smoking cessation. The benefits of quitting, and the important role of the oncology nurse in assisting these efforts, will be emphasized along with strategies to incorporate smoking cessation interventions into the clinical setting.

Tobacco use in women with lung cancer

Abstract: The diagnosis of cancer is a strong motivator for behavioral change, and some patients need additional support to quit smoking. Family members should also be targeted for cessation interventions.
