My rib(s) cracks on my right side every time i take a deep breathe. ive been vaping for almost 3 years now and i believe that could be the issue but my chest only hurts rarely. should i let up on vaping and smoking until my lungs heal? how to quit?

Pulmonary function : I would suggest a pulmonary evaluation including a pulmonary function test. Have a screening chest image and please consult with your local lung association for instructions on quitting both. If the symptom is related to chest wall strain, apply local heat and take Motrin.
