Non-smoker, non-vaper, so why am I here?

Bottom line, my boyfriend had smoked many years longer than I have known him. I met him as a smoker and I know well that you can't change something like that for someone else, they have to do it their own way, in their own time, and for their own reasons.
So many bad marriages are the result of not understanding this.

I hope your boyfriend realises how lucky he is to have someone supportive. (I'm sure he does).

Funny, but yesterday I happened to mention to an ex-girlfriend that I'd switched to vaping and felt 100 times healthier. Her reply? "Why not just quit altogether and feel really healthy?"

I wanted to kick her .... good and hard, but I restrained myself and pointed out that giving up a 40-year habit isn't exactly easy.

By the way, when I'm giving it up is probably "never."

When I started I was vaping 24mg (with some 36mg some mornings to help me wake up.)
After a couple of months I really overdid it one night and promptly dropped it to 12mg.
Then I got pneumonia. During my 3 days in the hospital I barely vaped so I decided to go nic-free. That lasted a month but my cigarette cravings got so bad at the end (7 months after my last one) that I knew I had to add nicotine back or buy a pack.

I now vape 6mg for most of the day and 0mg at night. It's enough to take the edge of and vaping satisfies all the aspects of my addiction. I have no intention of giving it up. I might try 0mg again at some point, but I'll still be vaping.
