A New Way to Help Smokers with Thoracic Cancer Quit
This study is looking at a new tool called the Buckeye Quit Stick to help people who smoke and have been diagnosed with, or are suspected of having, thoracic cancer (cancer in the chest area). Many people find it hard to quit smoking, especially the habit of holding something in their hand and putting it to their mouth. The Buckeye Quit Stick is designed to help with this hand/mouth habit without using medication. The study wants to see if this stick is practical and well-liked by 30 participants. It will also look at how often people use it and if it helps them quit smoking. To join, you need to be at least 21 years old, speak English, be a patient at OSU thoracic clinics, and have a diagnosed or suspected thoracic cancer.
