The purpose of this study is to find an optimal smoking cessation strategy in patients
undergoing therapy for lung and head and neck cancers at selected cancer centers in Kentucky
by delivering high quality smoking cessation to all enrolled patients. This study will also
examine the feasibility of routinely implementing an array of smoking cessation strategies
for this patient population.

Subjects enrolled in the study will be placed in one of twelve treatment arms. Subjects in
each of the twelve treatment regimens will receive either varenicline or bupropion or
long-acting nicotine replacement therapy, with or without use of supplemental nicotine
replacement therapy, and in combination with either standard of care smoking cessation
counseling or high intensity/motivational smoking cessation counseling.
