Nicotine - Stigma: Difference between revisions

Line 672:

*Creating a stigma-free health system will require collaborative action and sustained commitment of key players across the health system.

*Efforts to reduce substance use stigma within the health system must also acknowledge and address intersecting stigmas, including through initiatives not traditionally labelled as “anti-stigma interventions”.

*Shame-induced stigma most damages those already vulnerable, reinforcing health disparities.

*Global health use of shaming tactics can inadvertently worsen health-damaging stigma, especially for those with the least power.

*Ethically and practically, stigma should never be deployed as a global health tool because the effects are often both unavoidable and invisible to outsiders.
