I could do that, but I smoked cigarettes for 7 years and then vaped for 9 years. So I don't know if I could jump back into nicotine but hold off on the smoking/vaping aspect of it.

Funny tangent, I quit vaping on 2 Jan 2020 after the worst flu I have ever had (after a flight abroad.. early COVID?) and while I was finally successful after a decade of quitting, it killed all my motivation and energy.
Then I got diagnosed with ADHD, got stimulant meds which restored the energy and then some, and it was clear I had been self medicating all my life with nicotine and I was completely lost without. If one day I lose access to stimulant meds, you better believe I'm back on the patch and/or the vape.
But in general dude, do not joke about nicotine. You are 3 years clean, it's incredibly hard to quit. If you done it once, it doesn't mean you'll do it twice. Maybe avoiding Parkinson's by vaping is a terrible excuse. You've never known addiction if you believe this time you'll be able to control it.
