Hmm . . . Good question. I was never told to stop smoking prior to a blood test when I was still smoking. You had better check into that. Your situation may be different.
I vaped right up until I walked in the door on my last blood test. Nobody called to tell me I was near death. Your mileage, of course, may vary.
it depends if you're having issues that diabetes is to ruled out, it'd be best to not have any nicotine before that test (affects glucose levels)
but nothing by mouth means NOTHING by mouth, no coffee, smokes, etc.
if it's just routine it's probably ok. I didn't say that...burn after reading please *lol*

Fasting means not eating. I was told i was allowed water or black coffee (no sugar). I vape all the time - it was never mentioned.

if they said coffee (decaf?) fasting includes coffee unless it's decaf with no sugar or cream (we're looking for things that affect the values of the blood tests and that you do NOT ingest something that would alter those in those tests) it's a routine /annual physical or something go for it.
Yes, mine was a fasting test. I don't really have a baseline for blood sugars or whatever that would be give me an apples to apple comparison, but the numbers apparently were not significantly elevated or I would have received some kind of "flag". Only instructions I got were to take Vitamin D supplements.
I think I would schedule the test as early in the day as possible and suffer through a few hours without vaping just for the piece of mind. My blood test wasn't really scheduled, I just had a late morning appointment and hadn't had anything but a cup of coffee (and a vape) that day because I thought the Dr. might want to do it.
Edited so say: I WISH YOU THE BEST OF RESULTS WITH YOUR TEST
