Description
Raul Gregg-Garcia and co-authors survey smokers with cancers not caused by tobacco in a 2026 study. Smoking worsens cancer outcomes of all kinds, yet quit help for this group is little studied. The survey reached 124 adults at two centers who had smoked in the past month.
Most knew that smoking on can shorten life, but fewer than half knew it can raise return risk, blunt treatment, or worsen side effects. Most had tried to quit before, yet just a third got quit drugs and fewer still got counseling. Under half got follow up from their cancer team. The authors urge built in quit care for all oncology patients.
