“…[69][70][71][72][73] In addition to the high prevalence of smoking in these groups, the use of smokeless tobacco is common, even among adolescents and children. 74,75 Smokeless tobacco has been used by Alaska Native parents to calm their children while they are teething.…”

“…76 It is important to note that traditional ceremonial use of tobacco does not include smoking cigarettes, the use of smokeless tobacco, or the use of other commercial tobacco products. 70,77 Although traditional ceremonial uses of tobacco still play a role within many American Indian tribes, every effort should be made to prevent nontraditional uses. 80 Despite these efforts, the prevalence of tobacco use remains higher in military personnel than in comparable civilian populations.…”

Tobacco use and secondhand tobacco-smoke (SHS) exposure are major national and international health concerns. Pediatricians and other clinicians who care for children are uniquely positioned to assist patients and families with tobacco-use prevention and treatment. Understanding the nature and extent of tobacco use and SHS exposure is an essential first step toward the goal of eliminating tobacco use and its consequences in the pediatric population. The next steps include counseling patients and family members to avoid SHS exposures or cease tobacco use; advocacy for policies that protect children from SHS exposure; and elimination of tobacco use in the media, public places, and homes. Three overarching principles of this policy can be identified: (1) there is no safe way to use tobacco; (2) there is no safe level or duration of exposure to SHS; and (3) the financial and political power of individuals, organizations, and government should be used to support tobacco control. Pediatricians are advised not to smoke or use tobacco; to make their homes, cars, and workplaces tobacco free; to consider tobacco control when making personal and professional decisions; to support and advocate for comprehensive tobacco control; and to advise parents and patients not to start using tobacco or to quit if they are already using tobacco. Prohibiting both tobacco advertising and the use of tobacco products in the media is recommended. Recommendations for eliminating SHS exposure and reducing tobacco use include attaining universal (1) smoke-free home, car, school, work, and play environments, both inside and outside, (2) treatment of tobacco use and dependence through employer, insurance, state, and federal supports, (3) implementation and enforcement of evidence-based tobacco-control measures in local, state, national, and international jurisdictions, and (4) financial and systems support for training in and research of effective ways to prevent and treat tobacco use and SHS exposure. Pediatricians, their staff and colleagues, and the American Academy of Pediatrics have key responsibilities in tobacco control to promote the health of children, adolescents, and young adults.

“…Tobacco was used to create relationships and secure a depth of knowledge from Elders (Wilson & Restoule, 2010). The researchers considered that a refusal of tobacco could be interpreted as a refusal to consent in the research process (Struthers & Hodge, 2004;Wilson & Restoule, 2010). Before offering tobacco to Elders, the researchers encouraged those utilizing a Tobacco Ties method to reflect on their research question and purpose when planting and harvesting the medicine (Wilson & Restoule, 2010).…”

Indigenous communities and federal funding agencies in Canada have developed policy for ethical research with Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous scholars and communities have begun to expand the body of research regarding their peoples, and novel and innovative methods have begun to appear in the published literature. This review attempts to catalogue the wide array of Indigenous research methods in the peer-reviewed literature and describe commonalities among methods in order to guide researchers and communities in future method development. A total of 64 articles met inclusionary criteria and five themes emerged: General

“…(p. 80) Sacred uses of tobacco continue to define the culture of the Anishnabe (Ojibwe for from whence lowered the male of the species or original man) people (Benton-Benai, 1988). Struthers and Hodge (2004) described the cultural definition of tobacco "as a gift of the earth. It was burned, and the rising smoke was used to cleanse and heal" (p. 210).…”

In this article, the authors present a discussion of institutional review boards and potential challenges qualitative researchers may face when presenting human subjects research proposals to these boards for approval. In particular, they focus on issues of consent and reciprocity with Indigenous populations, whose culture and traditions might be quite different from those review boards typically see. After presenting these issues, the authors close with a framework that can be used as a guide for ethical considerations in research with Indigenous peoples.
