*"Indeed, an oft-spoken proverb among those who work in tobacco control is''' “There is no such thing as a‘smoker,’ there are only people who smoke." '''This framing intentionally creates space to decouple behavior from identity, so that unhealthy behavior (i.e., smoking) can be actively denormalized without perpetuating stigma against those who engage in it. It underscores that individuals who smoke maintain their core humanity and value as human beings, despite engaging in a socially unacceptable behavior. Once they change this target behavior, they are no longer targeted for disapproval."

**Stigmatizing Language: Smoker | |||
**Proposed Terminology: Person with cannabis and/or tobacco or nicotine use disorder, or addiction involving cannabis / tobacco / nicotine use. | |||
