31. You've done a wonderful thing for yourself by quitting smoking

and taking up vaping instead. Don't let anyone give you grief about it, or put you down because you didn't quit smoking the way they think you should have. The best way for anyone to quit smoking is the way that works for them.

I bet you could switch to zero nicotine fluid, if you really wanted to, but there's no good reason to do it if you aren't ready. I buy whatever liquid is on sale in the flavors I like, usually, from zero nic up to 6, and I don't really notice any difference which one I'm using at any given time. I really don't know why the critics obsess so much about nicotine - the danger of smoking was always from the smoke itself, not the nicotine in it.
