Commercial tobacco and nicotine addiction can be incredibly hard to quit. Luckily, you’re not alone and there are many resources available for you. Wondering what we mean by commercial tobacco? Commercial tobacco is referring to the products made by companies who produce items such as cigarettes and vapes. It is not the plant grown by Indigenous people who’ve used it for spiritual and cultural reasons, otherwise known as traditional or sacred use. To learn more, click Traditional vs. Commercial Tobacco, from Kick it California (PDF).
