Brief Summary:
Smoking is the greatest risk factor for upper aerodigestive cancers (thoracic or head and neck) and negatively impacts survival and other outcomes, but many patients have difficulty quitting after their diagnosis. Smoking cessation interventions for cancer patients thus far have had limited success. This is a pilot randomized controlled trial designed to determine if a new comprehensive, evidence-based smoking cessation intervention can improve quit rates for cancer patients who smoke.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Comprehensive intervention
New evidence-based comprehensive smoking cessation intervention including several elements that have proven successful in non-cancer patients but not used for cancer patients before.
 Other: Comprehensive smoking cessation intervention
Active Comparator: Enhanced usual care
Intervention consistent with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidelines for tobacco treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Smoking cessation [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
    Smoking cessation will be defined as BOTH (1) self-reported 7-day abstinence from smoking and (2) exhaled carbon monoxide level of 8 or lower as biochemical confirmation of abstinence.
