There are different levels of nicotine you can get. 0 means none and 18 is the highest. My husband tends to get higher nicotine so he doesn't puff as often.
@Wynona Oh so you you're now thoroughly used to enjoying breathing the smell of menthol vape that has quite significantly higher levels of nicotine, then.

My doctor was a physicist and then became a doctor. He does emergency medicine, primary mental health care, who knows what else, when I signed up with him, I had to amiable to the fact that he'd often be gone out of town on training trips.
I saw him on a live news conference at noon one weekday. It was carried by all the major Canadian networks. He's a star. All the nurses at the hospital tell me that he's a genius! He truly is. He is intimidated by no one or nothing!
He is the most boring person in the world to listen to! He's a liberal Christian...he thinks Trump is stupid! No one's perfect. Lol

Sometimes, my husband playfully vapes in my direction. But most of the time, I barely smell it.
@Wynona Well, it probably wouldn't be stretching the term too much to describe yourself as at least a passive smoker (often used in the past about those who were frequently around lit cigarettes), in the sense that you are accustomed to breathing nicotine laced menthol vapor (and it's maybe just as well that in a measure you like it)...

Ive never thought like that. Vapor is so...vaporish after all. Smoke lingers a bit more.

@Wynona Well, I take your point, yes. Of course, legalists would even find fault with someone who admitted to liking the smell of menthol vapor with nicotine content (but I have to confess I have battled with legalism for 40 years and am not likely to stop now...)

When you say battle with legalism, Im assuming you mean other people, not as a struggle you have within yourself.

@Wynona Yes; sorry; I should have make this clear.

There is always an inner conflict as regards sanctification, of course.

But it is via the conscience and not via a circle of legalists who might relish trying to dictate to others what is in fact their own business.

How can I put this...why try to actively battle these people?

Isn't the best we can do to be a good example of graciousness towards others?

@Wynona Good point; I guess a way to put it would be that I have resisted legalism for 40 years or so...but indeed we need to keep 'looking unto Jesus' (Hebrews 12.2) and to the good of others.

Yes of course and legalism is for them that don't want to be saved. Eventually God will judge them and all of us too.

@Wynona I'm not sure that the term 'passive vaper' is as current as 'passive smoker' used to be. Although I guess that logically the same tendency is there.

(And at least you enjoy the smell of menthol vape with a bit of nicotine, right? it would be a pity if you didn't, I guess...)

Actually I studied his ideas on space-time curvatures. But yes e=mc^2 is a portion of his work along the lines of quantum physics and Planck's constant.
Energy and Mass in a covariant ratio, just like space and time.

The more space light travels through the more time it takes.
