Summary

This trial aims to gather feedback on a new app designed to help cancer patients quit smoking.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for cancer survivors who smoke and are willing to try quitting. Participants must be able to use an app on their smartphone daily, speak English, and have smoked recently. They can't join if they're using other quit-smoking treatments, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have current psychosis.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new quit-smoking treatment delivered through a prototype app designed for individuals with a cancer diagnosis. It aims to gather user feedback on the effectiveness of this mindfulness-based intervention.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves using an app for smoking cessation support, there may not be direct side effects like those from medication; however, users might experience stress or frustration during the quitting process.
