VAPERS VOICES
Many adult South Africans have used vaping as a method to help them quit smoking and practice tobacco harm reduction.
Since the very beginning, VSML has invited people to share their experiences and what this innovation means to them.
Their stories should not be ignored.

I am a keen cyclist, and could feel that smoking has a huge influence on my health, and decided to change to Vaping which is 95% healthier,
Due to say this, I can confirm now that I can feel the difference between smoking and vaping.
The fact that I am a sportsman and have switch to Vaping, gives me the confidence and results that Vaping is much healthier that smoking tobacco products. I am feeling much better now by using vaping products as to when I was a smoker.

I was a smoker for 5 years. One day I woke up and I could not even breath due to cigarettes. It was that day I decided I have to do something about it. Since I have been Vaping my lungs health has never been better. I can run without pains in my chest. I can smell and taste again and so much more. Vaping Saved My Life!

The excitement of building your own coil and not having a morning cough anymore is more than enough reason for me to give up smoking not even talking about the smell of a vape vs cigarette

The decision to start vaping was a personal choice with the ultimate goal to quit smoking cigarettes. Many flavours later vaping has become a lifestyle change and I am motivated to help others make the life-saving switch

I tried to stop smoking by many methods many times and actually succeeded for a while but kept returning tp smoking… Until I started vaping. I feel better: no more coughing, no more out of breath while climbing stairs, etc. I have not touched a cigarette since 2013 and have NO craving for that rubbish anymore!

I feel like a million bucks since I stopped smoking and started vaping. No more tight chest at night, and I can breathe again. I will never smoke again.
