*Those who suffer multiple forms of stigmatisation and feel devalued in society find it harder than higher status, socially valued individuals to change health behaviours, lacking resources and social encouragement to do so. The deprioritisation of older smokers is a symptom of institutionalised ageism, which must be addressed systematically to apply the tenets of health equity and inclusion in our work. Across all areas of tobacco control, we must do better by our elders. | *Those who suffer multiple forms of stigmatisation and feel devalued in society find it harder than higher status, socially valued individuals to change health behaviours, lacking resources and social encouragement to do so.

*Understanding how these age-related differences impact smoking-related outcomes (eg, tobacco withdrawal, acute effects of smoking, treatment efficacy) is limited because research examining older smokers is lacking. In a systematic review of tobacco withdrawal symptoms, the mean (SD) age of participants across 15 studies, chosen for their scientific rigor, was 37.8 (8.1) years. | *Understanding how these age-related differences impact smoking-related outcomes (eg, tobacco withdrawal, acute effects of smoking, treatment efficacy) is limited because research examining older smokers is lacking.
