*Patients should not be belittled or made to feel stigmatized by their age, their size, or their past or current behaviors.
*Individuals should not be defined by their substance use. Feeling stigma can prevent people with a substance use disorder from seeking treatment, and implicit or explicit bias of health care professionals can impact the care they provide to individuals with substance use disorders. NCCN publications use person-first language and avoid terms associated with stigma and negative bias when discussing substance use.
*Instead of "smokers," use "people who smoke."
