Summary

This study looks at two ways to help cancer patients quit smoking before surgery and stay smoke-free afterward. One method involves gradually cutting down on cigarettes before quitting, then using a nicotine patch. The other method uses counseling and a nicotine patch alone. The goal is to find which approach works better for people recently diagnosed with cancer.
