To address the aforementioned research and gaps in the literature, we used cross-sectional data from the last wave
of a longitudinal study (when smoking status was assessed) of long-term survivors of 10 cancers identified from cancer registries in 11 states (22). Specifically, we examined (i) prevalence and correlates of current smoking and smoking patterns among cancer survivors, (ii) correlates of cessation versus current smoking after cancer diagnosis, and (iii) correlates of planning to quit smoking (and when) among current smokers.
