Best Native Smokes is for adults only. Everything we sell is age-restricted, and you must meet the legal age in your province or territory to browse, buy, or receive any product from this website. By using this site and placing an order, you confirm that you meet that legal age requirement.

You must be of legal age to use this site

We sell tobacco, nicotine, and cannabis products that are strictly for adults. In most of Canada the minimum age is 19, and it is 18 in Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. If you are under the legal age where you live, you must not use this site or attempt to place an order.

What is the legal age in my province?

The minimum age to buy tobacco and vaping products is set by each province and territory:

  • 19 years: British Columbia, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.
  • 18 years: Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.

For a full breakdown, see our guide to the smoking age in Canada. Cannabis has its own minimum age, which can differ (for example, 21 in Quebec), so always check the rules that apply to you.

How we verify your age

We take age verification seriously and use more than one checkpoint:

  • At checkout: you must confirm that you meet the legal age before an order can be completed.
  • On delivery: our shipping partners can require proof of age and an adult signature at the point of delivery. Orders will not be left with anyone who cannot confirm they are of legal age.
  • If in doubt: we reserve the right to request valid government-issued photo ID, and to refuse or cancel any order where age cannot be confirmed.

Why age verification matters

Age limits exist to protect young people. Nicotine is especially harmful to the developing brain, and most lifelong smokers start before adulthood. Verifying age is both a legal requirement and a responsibility we take seriously as an Indigenous-owned Canadian retailer.

Our products are for adults only

Everything we sell, including native cigarettes, cannabis, vapes, nicotine pouches, chewing tobacco, and cigars, is age-restricted. These products are not suitable for minors, non-users, or anyone under the legal age. Please keep all products out of the reach of children and pets.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for making sure it is legal for you to buy these products in your area, and for providing accurate age information. Supplying false information to purchase age-restricted products is illegal. Never buy on behalf of, or supply to, anyone under the legal age.
