Okay

Have safely daily vaped for more than a year from my current provider and before that was a daily smoker for more than 4 years.

I will continue to do this, medicinally, recreationally, and (lately) I'm self defense.

I've been saying for decades now that I have trouble understanding anyone who took up smoking after the Surgeon General's report in 1964. It is hardly breaking news that smoking and vaping are really, truly bad for you.
