Effects of a Cancer Diagnosis on Quitting Smoking and Remaining Abstinent
Most people who have a smoking-related cancer stop smoking or make
serious efforts to quit when cancer is diagnosed. Patients who do not
immediately stop smoking may be motivated to quit in the future. Some studies
have shown that patients who have less intensive treatment are more likely to
continue smoking, and if they quit, are more likely to start smoking again.
