ways to heal - the seven granDfather teachings

Healing from the impacts of tobacco use is one of the most important things you can do for your health and the health of your family. Think about the values below, based on the Seven Grandfather Teachings, as you make changes towards your healthy future.​
Honesty
Be honest about using commercial tobacco. When you smoke, vape, or use spit tobacco, you are putting your health and the health of your family at risk.

Respect
The misuse of tobacco is not respecting the sacred place of tobacco in your culture. Giving prayer and thanks is honoring tobacco.

Humility
If you smoke tobacco, vape, or use spit tobacco, you are putting your needs ahead of your family. If you smoke, your family is being exposed to second- and third-hand smoke. Your family and friends want you to live a long and healthy life.

Wisdom
If you would like to quit using commercial tobacco, think about the strengths you have to make a change. You don’t have to quit alone—reach out to others for help and support.

Truth
Sharing the truth about using traditional tobacco and commercial tobacco with others can make a big difference in your community.

Love
Quitting smoking, vaping, or spit tobacco is good for your health. Love yourself by making that change.

Bravery
Quitting smoking, vaping, or spit tobacco can be hard, but you can do it.
