Why does everybody smoke in Montreal ???

Question

I'm a newcomer to this city , and lots of ppl smoke in the streets , pretty much everybody , do I need to take up smoking so I don't come off as a weirdo ?

Answer 1

Did your mom ever ask you about everyone jumping off a cliff?

Besides, the next step is catching on fire. Is that what you want? Do you want to smoke then catch on fire? You would then never be able to work at the local gas station pumping gas. Come on Gomer, this ain't Mayberry.

Answer 2

It's a french thing.

Answer 3

It's just the body heat coming in contact with the cold air producing a "steam" if you will.  Nothing to fear if you start to "smoke" in Montreal.

Answer 4

NO you do not need to smoke.  I just got back from Europe - they all still smoke over there too.  But the younger and educated people do not - Seems you have to be a little smarter to know TOBACCO  KILLS

Answer 5

A lot of people smoke, I don't know why. It could be part of the French culture. Don't take up smoking. It's really disgusting.

Answer 6

to be cool

Answer 7

I'm in Montreal also but wat do you mean by everybody since it,s just a small  % tha t smoke, Were have you been ?

Answer 8

That's not remotely true!

Personally, I've NEVER taken up smoking and never will either - so stop worrying at once!

Answer 9

Very few smoke that I know. Some still do but most dont.
