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.

Vaping is not just an alternative to smoking for me or any of my loved ones. Every person in my family who smoked now vapes and some have even moved off vaping. We are all healthier and happier now. Vaping has provided jobs for my family and security for my children’s future
