    This is the way. There are so few places to smoke in BC that I pretty much only ever see people doing it 5 metres from a bus stop.

    They are so expensive that the few people that still do it smoke maybe a pack a week.

    We even banned the sale of no-nic vape juice because they were becoming a gateway to nicotine addiction for teenagers.

      I just visited Canada for 4 days, was around a lot of people and I only smelled smoke twice. Both times were outside the airport (once arriving and once departing).

      That's crazy and backwards. Ecigs were a critical tool I used to kick a 2 pack a day habit. Vaping is the best smoking cessation system around.
