What this trial studies

This research evaluates the effectiveness of an electronic visit (e-visit) designed for smoking cessation in rural primary care settings in South Carolina. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the e-visit, which includes a questionnaire about their smoking habits and preferences for cessation medications, or to receive standard care. The study will involve collecting questionnaires and breath samples at four different time points over a 24-week period. The trial aims to assess both the effectiveness of the e-visit and its implementation in these rural clinics.
