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 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!
