Connect to Change: Quit Tobacco with Culture

A new eight-week program called Connect to Change is helping Indigenous communities across the Prairies quit commercial tobacco—with support from the Canadian Cancer Society. More than just quitting, it reconnects participants with culture through activities like harvesting medicines, beading, and physical movement, while offering nicotine replacement therapy and ongoing digital support. Designed to address higher tobacco use rates in Indigenous populations, it’s culturally grounded and focused on long-term change—without targeting traditional ceremonial practices.
