NJOY Daily E-cigarettes are self-contained and non-refillable. Each DAILY provides approximately 300 puffs, comparable to a full pack of cigarettes.

Participants in the NRT arm will receive 21 mg nicotine patch (for those with CPD \>= 20) or 14 mg nicotine patch (for those with CPD \< 20) + 4 mg nicotine gum. CPD stands for Cigarettes Per Day.

Counseling will cover health education, social support issues, and motivational enhancement to improve self-efficacy while addressing other aspects know to contribute to smoking among people with COPD (e.g., tips on dealing with depression)
