First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares a new counseling approach called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with standard counseling to help people with head and neck, lung, breast, gastrointestinal, or genitourinary cancer stop smoking. About 51 adults who smoke at least one cigarette per day and are willing to use a quit-smoking medication will participate. The goal is to see which counseling method works better for long-term smoking abstinence.
