*“…although stigma relating to alcohol, tobacco and prescription medicines is increasingly well documented…This stigmatisation is produced through words like “criminal”, “abuser”, “junkie”, “alcoholic”, "smoker" and “addict”. These kinds of words have functioned in tandem with corresponding normative reactions such as fear and disgust, to justify and legitimise stereotyping, discrimination, punishment, social control and exclusion, and create significant obstacles to treatment, harm reduction, support, health and wellbeing.”

*"Dehumanising and stigma-laden terminology is rife in medicine, with oncology being no exception, and blame-ridden language is too often used when referring to people at risk for or who have cancer. Although not coming from a place of malice, or indeed reflective of an intentional effort to offend, these phrases are typically used as shorthand in an effort to aid communication, but the lack of empathy and awareness that accompanies the use of such language could also be linked with apathetic attitudes."

*"Presenters at the conference promoted the benefits of implementing the IASLC Language Guide, which emphasises the importance of using person-first language (eg, using patient or participant rather than subject, and person with active tobacco use rather than smoker), eliminating blame language (using unable to comply rather than non-compliant), and ending stigma (such as noting a person who does not smoke rather than a non-smoker)."
