Finding Cures. Saving Children.
Quit Smoking and Break Free
Because you had cancer or other serious illness in childhood, it’s crucial that you stay on the right track to healthy living as an adult. Even if you’ve gotten sidetracked from time to time, we’re here to help you get headed back in the right direction.
Results of studies have already shown that nearly 20% of childhood cancer survivors are smokers-a number that is too high to ignore! Because smoking greatly adds to the health challenges you already face, one of the most valuable steps you can take is to break free from smoking.
To help you quit smoking, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has launched a new smoking cessation program designed just for childhood cancer survivors. Even if you have been smoking for years or quit and started again, we can help you break free from cigarettes to a longer and healthier life.
If you want to enroll in the study now, please complete this form. A member of the study team will get back in touch with you.
How We Help Your Body Do Its Work

We Help Curb Your Cravings
Over time, smokers’ bodies become used to the powerful kick delivered by nicotine. When you try to quit smoking, your body craves what it’s no longer getting. You may become restless and irritable as you begin learning how to live without nicotine. That’s why we offer nicotine patches to help curb your cravings so you can focus on your behaviors.
You Don’t Have To Go It Alone
With your cravings quieted down, you’ll be able to focus on other factors that make you want to smoke. We’re here to help with St. Jude Tobacco Quit Line counselors. They have been trained to help you understand what triggers your urge to smoke and ways to avoid or overcome these triggers.
