specifically for cancer patients to quit smoking (Quit2Heal) provides higher quit rates than
the current standard smoking cessation app.
Cigarette smoking has harmful effects on cancer patients' treatment and prognosis, but there
are systemic barriers to delivering smoking cessation interventions to cancer patients. One
solution for addressing these barriers is to give patients immediate access to smoking
cessation treatment via a smartphone application. The Quit2Heal smartphone app is engaging
and tailored to the specific needs of cancer patients, and can be integrated into routine
cancer care. The goal of this study is to determine whether Quit2Heal provides higher quit
rates than the current standard smoking cessation app.
