Update. The #BMJ isn't the only journal pushing back against the #CDC directive that staff scientists should retract pending publications that use Trump-banned words. (Earlier in this thread.)
Kudos to the _American Journal of Public Health_ (#AJPH) for pushing back as well.

From publisher Georges Benjamin: "We at the American Journal of Public Health have no interest in following the president's prohibitions on language. We will publish things under our guidelines, under our ethical principles." Benjamin acknowledged that the journal may now get fewer submissions from government scientists.
AJPH is published by the American Public Health Association (#APHA).

The focus on youth obscured the fact that #combustible #tobacco use (i.e. #smoking) by older #adults didn't change for nearly two decades in the US.
A new paper, published in the American Journal of Public Health ( #AJPH), argues that older #adultswhosmoke are “forgotten" #tobacco #harmreduction is the key to fight #smokingrelatedillnesses & #death.
“They [older adult who keep smoking] don’t simply disappear or die. They are alive and they need our support.”
