This research is not about the US. Also don't use a slur for homosexual to denigrate anything.

Puff is not a slur, puff science indicates that it’s vaporous or there is no basis or grounds.

Poof on the other hand, could be taken as a slur, sure.

Let’s relax.

The slur is spelled differently, and puff science (and its predecessor term puff/puffery) predate the slur by over a century.
