You can get Native American cigarettes which don't have all of the additives in them, etc. I was thinking tobacco was the NA's revenge on the *white man* but, in all of the powwows, sweats, sundances, and other gatherings it has been my privilege to attend or participate in, I saw a lot of Indians smoking regular cigarettes.

In fact, ironically, a pack of cigs was a standard offering to a medicine man who come down from the Rosebud to do a sweat for some of us here. It is sad to see and I don't think even a consciousnes of reverence for tobacco could negate the harmful effects of the regular cigs offered.
