Mindfulness-based App for Smoking Cessation in Cancer Survivors

This study is testing a new way to help cancer survivors quit smoking using a smartphone app. You might be eligible if you are at least 18 years old, have been diagnosed with cancer, smoke at least one cigarette a day, and want to quit within the next 30 days. The study will compare two approaches: one group will use a mindfulness app with counseling sessions, and the other will receive standard care from a Quitline, which includes counseling and nicotine patches. Researchers will look at how easy the app is to use, how satisfied participants are, and how many people complete the study questionnaires to see if the new approach is helpful. The study aims to enroll 50 participants.
