Smokers looking for a full flavour and smooth smoking experience are turning to native smokes. These cigarettes are cheaper than conventional brands, however, the lower price should not be seen as an endorsement or encouragement to smoke. Native cigarettes still contain tobacco and carry the same health risks, so it’s important that smokers consider their options carefully before making a decision to smoke.

Native Cigarettes Canada provides convenience and often offers cost savings over buying in-store. It also allows consumers to explore a wider selection of native cigarettes than what may be available in local stores. Additionally, many online retailers are able to offer more competitive prices than traditional brick-and-mortar shops due to their lower overhead costs.

“Dispelling Myths and Misconceptions About Native Cigarettes in Canada

Indigenous Canadians living on reserve are entitled to buy a certain amount of legal cigarettes tax-free, depending on the province’s quota system. However, status Indians often resell these cigarettes without paying federal excise taxes to non-Aboriginals in on-reserve smoke shacks or, more frequently, through criminal gangs operating off-reserve. This is a significant problem for government tobacco-control strategies that use accessibility and price to influence smoking behaviour.

In a recent study, we asked a sample of smokers about their source of last-purchased cigarettes. We found that, for smokers who lived near a reserve, proximity was a significant predictor of whether they bought their cigarettes on or off reserve. However, for those who lived farther away from a reserve, distance did not appear to be an important predictor of purchase patterns. This suggests that policymakers need to take into account First Nations jurisdiction when developing tobacco control measures.
