BACK FROM NYC!!

I am a Canadian who has lived in Miami, Detroit, Chicago, and NYC and I have to agree with you that there is no place in the U.S. that can compare to the quality of life that Canada offers.
Tobacco may have been cheap on the way to NYC, but you can't be talking about the price IN nyc. It's the highest in the U.S. at around $8 or $9/pack. Last time I noticed tobacco prices in Ontario I think some guy was paying a little over $9.
At most bodegas in NYC you can buy cigarettes out of the pack (an illegal practice that is not enforced), but they still charge a lot for them. Probably anywhere from 50 cents to a dollar per cigarette.

And yes I've been to ground zero. It's pretty fucking sad, just a huge hole in the middle of Manhattan.
And i've been to the top of the Empire state Building, and there was a picture comparing the Twin towers with it. They must have been so beautiful.

I visited NYC many years ago before 9/11 and was in the Twin Towers.
The Empire state Building has history and fantastic architecture. I also liked Grand Central and took Amtrak to DC for a few days, then on to Miami, FL.
Don't compare the USA by one city, even if it has the total population of Canada within 322 square miles (830 km²).

New York City is absolutely awesome.

I think the people of New York would kill me if I walked into their city...

Don't be silly.
There are all sorts of weirdos on the streets of Manhattan and everyone ignores them!
