You should come for a visit. We have more than our fair share of hipsters that smoke pipes and vaporizers.

I went to Quebec with my parents back in '87 when I was 10. The people were complete Aholes to us a few different times and the Canadian border patrol searched our car on the way back because my father got loud when they wouldn't allow me to use a bathroom while we were waiting, then he had me to pee out the window. They didn't like that. So I have no real desire to visit your frigid, soulless country because of that experience.

I was just kind of joking about it when I said i thought all Canadians were nice lol.
My grandfather was 100% Frenchy by way of French Canada, they came here when he was very young. He was Bataan Death marched, POW the whole war, nicest guy you could meet. But his mom though lol.

Everyone in the family says she was a very mean lady. Wouldn’t speak English even though she learned it. Would talk shit about you to you in french just to be an ass. She lived to be 101. She lived with my grandpa for a couple years just down the street from us. I would go there on the way back from grade school and wait for mommy to pick me up after work. I don’t remember her ever speaking English, but I do remember her always farting. She would drop a bomb and then get up and leave the room for a few minutes. I would be on the floor playing with legos thinking WTF? Mean French Canadians!

About 10 to 20 years from now a shit ton of people are going to start dropping dead in record numbers from that shit. Vapes are fucking awful. There's absolutely NO regulation, NO quality control, NO oversight of any kind, NOTHING.

People think they're huffing water vapor.

My ass. They're huffing God doesn't even know what. When all of them start vapor locking and dying because their lungs are completely fucking fried, something will finally be done about it.

Quebec is a lovely city to visit and welcoming to Francophones and those fluent enough to get by. Montreal is the city to visit if you only speak English and it's a great party city for young people.

If you were hassled on the way back to the US it wouldn't have been the Canada Border Services. You're processed by the destination country. Just sayin'.

Ok, but we KNOW what cigarette smoking will do to you, there is ZERO proof that vaping is as dangerous so far. Maybe it’s actually good for you? :P

I quit smoking after 25+ years, started at a very early age. Only thing that worked to help me quit was vaping. My buddy makes his own juice, it’s almost completely PG and VG with just a very small amount of flavor and plus nicotine. I could totally go without hitting the juice box except for when I’m drinking. Problem is I drink all the time :-D
I’ll tell you this though. I feel 100% healthier now that I don’t smoke. I honestly don’t feel any negatives from vaping. But yeah, i’m sure there’s some negative thing about it they will eventually prove besides the nicotine.

In '77 I my then GF and I drove her car packed with all her stuff across country. She was starting grad school at Cornell, so we made a vacay trip out of it. We crossed border at Windsor and drove in Canada until Niagra. Going into to Canada was cool, the border cops were polite; they just wanted reassurance we weren't going to be illegal immigrants. Showed them her acceptance letter and they were good, even asked our route and recc stuff to see. Crossing back into the US was a monster pain and the US cops were pricks of the highest order.

I was in line at the supermarket behind this woman last week who must've thought body spray was a shower in a can an I started gagging uncontrollably. The fucking C told me if I'm gonna be sick I should go to the bathroom, so I got pissed and said some things about her weight and hygiene I probably shouldn't have, but that shit was really offensive, even the woman bend me said she couldn't breathe.

lol That's mean. I get that riding public transit... where the bo and perfume mingle to make a perfect storm. I'm on the fence with vaporizers. I like the smell of cotton candy and bubble gum.

Windsor is Ontario's butt hole... gross city lol. I'm surprised they needed reassurance that you weren't becoming an illegal immigrant. I wouldn't think that would be a real problem. I've heard lots of horror stories about people having their cars torn apart going into the US. We go to NY via Niagara at least four or five times a year and they have always been nice to us. They ask where we're going and it's usually shopping for the day. Most of the time they don't even look at our passports and just send us through. We were lightly hassled coming back into Canada from a trip to NJ recently because they didn't believe we had nothing to declare.

Oh yeah completely emptied the car and all her stuff was strewn about, couldn't find anything then it was "hurry up and pack this up, you're in the way". Granted we looked a bit seedy, long hair, hippie looking and we had camped all the way, not motels. But the contrast between the Canadian cops and US cops was night and day.
The illegal immigrant stuff actually was a problem back then. Canada had a fairly liberal public welfare and it was apparently easy to get on the dole. Plus all her clothes and house type possesions. A few years earlier many US draft dodgers did it, so they were wary

And they don't help at all after taking all your stuff out of the car? that's nuts. I thought that was an old wives' tale.
