you may have trouble getting it into Canada, I know I did; nicotine-free cartridges are ok to order, it's the nicotine ones they have a beef with....here it is straight from Health Canada:Quote:

Advisory

March 27, 2009
For immediate release
OTTAWA - Health Canada is advising Canadians not to purchase or use electronic smoking products, as these products may pose health risks and have not been fully evaluated for safety, quality and efficacy by Health Canada.
These products come as electronic cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos and pipes, as well as cartridges of nicotine solutions and related products. These products fall within the scope of the Food and Drugs Act, and under the Act, require market authorization before they can be imported, advertised or sold. The sale of these health products is currently not compliant with the Food and Drugs Act since no electronic smoking products have been granted a market authorization in Canada.
In recent months, a number of electronic cigarettes, cigars and pipes as well as cartridges of nicotine solutions and related products have been marketed in Canada, and through the Internet. Most of these products are shaped and look like their conventional counterparts. They produce a vapour that resembles smoke and a glow that resembles the tip of a cigarette. They consist of a battery-powered delivery system that vapourizes and delivers a liquid chemical mixture that may be composed of various amounts of nicotine, propylene glycol, and other chemicals.
Nicotine is a highly addictive and toxic substance, and the inhalation of propylene glycol is a known irritant. Although these electronic smoking products may be marketed as a safer alternative to conventional tobacco products and, in some cases, as an aid to quitting smoking, electronic smoking products may pose risks such as nicotine poisoning and addiction. Please visit the Health Canada website for further information about nicotine and addiction.
While no electronic smoking product has yet been authorized for sale in Canada, Health Canada has authorized the sale of a number of smoking cessation aids, including nicotine gum, nicotine patches, nicotine inhaler, and nicotine lozenges.
Electronic smoking products, including their nicotine cartridges, must be kept out of the reach of children at all times, given the risk of choking or nicotine poisoning. Nicotine is hazardous to the health and safety of certain segments of the population such as children, youth, pregnant women, nursing mothers, people with heart conditions, and the elderly.
Persons importing, advertising or selling electronic cigarette products in Canada must stop doing so immediately. Health Canada is providing information to interested stakeholders on how to apply for the appropriate market authorizations and establishment licences.
Canadians who have used e-cigarette products and are concerned about their health should consult with a health care practitioner.
Complaints involving electronic smoking products can be reported to the Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate by calling the toll-free hotline at 1-800-267-9675, or by writing to:
Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate

Address Locator: 2003C

You can also contact a Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate Regional Operational Centre.

my buddy ships to canada almost every day for over a year now with no issues
BPG have you tried zyban or champix I quite with Zyban and it was so easy I thought I should start up again because it was so easy :lol:
I believe there was 60 pill in the bottle and was to take 2 a day?? 2 pills a day were too much for me as it makes you a little jumpy,so I did 1 pill a day and threw the smokes away and still had 10 pills left :thumbsup:
I here from a few that they preferred Champix much better.
PS) If the DR said you have cancer would you quite then ?? this was my thoughts at the time I quite...BTY I never had one craving since....:thumbsup:
Good Luck

Zyban help me quit also i was smoking 3 packs a day ,,when i quit like 8 yrs ago and it was the best thing i ever did...thing is with any quit smoking aide you have to want to quit first... good luck Bigpineguy......
Canadian smokes are about $10 a pack:
10 x 7 = 70
70 x 1 month= $280
12 months x 280 = $3,360
Could have a real nice car over a 10 year period, not to mention the quality and quantity of life.
I quit using champix, be carfefull of the side affects.
I haven't had a Real Cig. ALL day....and that's huge! I sometimes "want" one, but I don't ....I haven't even bought any from the store....easier when the temptation isn't within reach... I think that only smokers and former smokers can see where not having one since yesterday is a nice step towards quitting...

To the Journey!
