Summary
This clinical trial investigates the acceptability of electronic cigarettes (JUUL) for
smoking cessation (quitting smoking) and the reduction of surgery-related complications in
patients with newly diagnosed head, neck, or lung cancer. Smoking before surgery is
associated with increased risk of complications during and after surgery. Electronic
cigarettes are a type of special product that gives small, steady doses of nicotine to help
stop cravings and relieve symptoms that occur when a person is trying to quit smoking.
Stopping cigarette smoking before surgery may reduce the risk of complications during and
after surgery in patients with head, neck, or lung cancer.
