Information regarding traditional Indigenous teachings on Respecting Tobacco, including cessation support for non-traditional tobacco addiction.
When tobacco is used in a non-traditional manner, like smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco, it can cause lung diseases, lung cancer, mouth cancer, heart disease, cancers of the upper respiratory tract, and risks during pregnancy. Non-traditional tobacco use includes smoking cigarettes, hookahs, using smokeless tobacco like chewing tobacco, snuff and snus.
