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.

Changed my life completely. I was a 20 to 30 cigarettes a day smoker. More energy, better outlook on life. Everything about my health improved. Will never smoke again

I mainly stopped smoking cigarettes because of the nasty cough… Aswell as my teeth started to get stained and I hated it… When I switched to vaping, it was hard at first and I struggled… But finally after a few months, the cough was gone and my teeth was normal again lol. Vaping really saved my life, I don’t struggle to breath anymore.

Vaping helped a lot as a person and as an athlete. I’m fitter since I stopped smoking and started vaping. Best choice I ever made
