Summary
Cigarette smoking is the most common risk factor for lung cancer, and it increases the risk
of developing other cancers, chronic lung disease, and heart disease. A smoking cessation
program that incorporates physical activity may be beneficial in improving long-term smoking
cessation rates. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based physical
activity program, in combination with nicotine replacement therapy and a behavioral smoking
cessation program, at improving cessation rates among sedentary smokers.
