Summary

This study tested a program to help smokers at high risk for COPD reduce their smoking. Over 4,200 adults aged 35 and older who smoked or had recently quit took part. The program included health checks, digital tools, and education to support quitting or cutting back. The goal was to see if these steps could lower daily cigarette use and nicotine dependence.
