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.

After I stopped smoking and vaping nic salts I noticed alot of positive health changes. My smell taste improved and I no longer had a tight weedy chest in the mornings. Not only was it a benefit for me but also for my son, no second hand smoke for him NO WAY.

In time smoking for 10 years I had chest pains I thought I was gonna have an heart attack but after when I started vaping I started feeling much better. I’ve left smoking for 10 years and I don’t look back in it

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.

Vaping helped me kick my smoking habit and get back on track to a healthier Life. No more complaints about stinking and even vape in my house where I smoked outside. With my annual medical exam my lung function increased

My teeth have regained t health and colour and I’ve never had breathing issues since. Vaping saved my life and my smile.”
