The goal of this work is to develop, refine, and pilot test an electronic visit (e-visit) to: 1) deliver smoking cessation treatment to adults at risk for COPD and 2) to improve rates of COPD early detection and accurate diagnosis. The investigators will conduct a pilot RCT of the COPD/smoking cessation e-visit as compared to treatment as usual (TAU), with primary objective to provide effect size estimates for a larger RCT.
