The primary objective of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized clinical practice counseling strategy for promoting post-diagnosis smoking cessation among patients with SCCHN. Efficacy will be measured as the percentage of patients who succeed in sustained smoking cessation ("sustained quitters," see below) at 6+1 months after enrollment, i.e., after the initiation of anti-smoking counseling.
