- Smoking cessation interventions are recommended in lung cancer screening, but real-world implementation is poorly understood.
- A scoping review guided by the RE-AIM framework assessed 55 studies from 2013 onward, mostly from the US.
- Most interventions involved behavioral support (96%) and/or pharmacological options (58%), focusing on individual-level outcomes.
- Interventions were generally acceptable to participants and providers, with opt-out referral showing high uptake.
- More intensive interventions had evidence of relatively high cessation outcomes.
- Implementation commonly involved low-intensity behavioral interventions.
- Program-level factors like provider readiness, time, cost, and sustained delivery were rarely reported.
- Future studies need comprehensive reporting, especially on program-level conditions for sustainable integration.
