Vaping while sick

I know this question might sound stupid. E-cig allowed me to stop smoking "real" cigs, around 5 years ago. I currently vape moderately with 6mg nicotine liquid.

Recently I had covid and straight after it, the flu. I know, FML. I have a persistent annoying cough, my doc is aware and I'm taking meds.

Just wondering if keeping vaping is a dumb idea. On the other side It helps me relax and soothe my anxiety, and I guess I'm addicted to nicotine... Am I doing any damage or making healing more difficult?

Any polite non- aggressive thoughts are welcome

🙏❤️
