Native smokes, which are distinct from native smokes delivery cigarettes, offer a smoking experience that is rooted deeply in the cultural heritage of Canada’s Indigenous communities. These tobacco products are used in rituals and ceremonies, as well as for personal enjoyment. While they are a controversial product, they also represent a significant source of employment and income for Indigenous peoples. While Canada’s legal stance on native smokes incorporates a complex tapestry of federal and provincial regulations, many Indigenous sellers assert their sovereign rights to sell tobacco products on their own territory.

Convenience at Your Doorstep: Native Smokes Delivery

The tucked-away plant on Kahnawake Mohawk land is easy to miss: it’s surrounded by an anonymous blue metal fence, and inside a worker feeds pungent, raw tobacco into a noisy, labyrinthine apparatus that turns it into cigarettes. This is one of dozens of such plants across three other Mohawk territories in Canada and the United States, producing a black market industry that has drawn fire from antismoking activists, government officials and the mainstream tobacco companies.

But the Mohawks say their factories are good for their people, providing jobs and investment that support other community businesses. And they argue that the factories are just another way of expressing their inherent right to sovereignty. Workers at the plants, however, are not paid a living wage and enjoy none of the labour protections that non-Indigenous employees take for granted. They are also liable for summary dismissal if they become sick or injured at work, and the factories often operate without safety equipment or a comprehensive health plan.
