Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

Evaluate the effect of broccoli sprout extract on levels of DNA adducts in participants who smoke.
Determine the effectiveness of broccoli sprout extract in reducing tobacco-carcinogen induced DNA adducts in these participants.

Secondary

Determine the effects of broccoli sprout extract on markers of the Nrf2 pathway in these participants.
Determine the effectiveness of broccoli sprout extract, in increasing the activity of the Nrf2 pathway, in these participants.
Evaluate the feasibility of using lymphocytes and buccal cells to monitor DNA adducts and changes in the Nrf2 pathway in these participants.

OUTLINE: Participants are stratified according to GST genotypic polymorphism (M1 vs T1).

Participants receive oral broccoli sprout extract daily for 3 weeks. Participants keep a daily diary of their eating and smoking habits for 3 weeks before, during, and for 3 weeks after study treatment. They must continue to smoke during the study, but are encouraged to quit after completing the study treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 70 participants will be accrued for this study.
