Traditional tobacco is not the same as commercial tobacco. Data from 2021-2023, shows cigarette smoking among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults in Utah is more than double the state average. Making healthy choices at a young age is important. Data from the Utah 2025 Student Health & Risk Prevention Survey shows that 67.2% of Utah students reported that vape products such as e-cigarettes, vape pens, mods, or pod vapes like JUUL or Puff Bars were the first tobacco products they tried.
Come to the e-cigarette and vaping prevention event on Saturday of the Pow-Wow during the dinner break, learn more, and make your own traditional “tobacco tie.” See the flyer for more details.
