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.

Smoked hubbly way too much and it affected my health. Got into vaping as my daughter was vaping. Changed my life for the better.

I started smoking in my last year of primary school. As an Asthma sufferer, this impacted my overall health severely. A couple of years back a friend introduced me to vaping. I managed to quit smoking with a fruity flavored juice, Panama from Wiener Vape. I see the positives from switching to vaping everyday, I can feel it in my overall health. I recently recovered from Covid-19 and I am convinced that I would have have had a much worse experience, had I still been a smoker. VAPING HAS SAVED MY LIFE!

Before Vaping, I smoked about two packs a day. I could hardly run or walk long distances without looking for a point to stop and chill now I can run with no issues, my sinus and hay lever has come down dramatically too
