Tobacco sticks are actually closer to cigarettes. The government of Alberta defines them as:
“tobacco stick” means a product that meets the definition of a cigarette except that at the time of sale to the consumer it is not wrapped in the paper wrapper required for smoking, and where any tobacco stick exceeds 90 mm in length, each 60 mm or less of the tobacco stick shall be considered to be a separate tobacco stick.
