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 helped me to leave the cigarettes because I have a chest problem that puts pressure on my lungs from birth, due to the cigarettes I felt that my health was declining and due to the stress work I could not leave the nicotine. From the first few months I started vaping felt that my health was getting better and an increase in my lung capacity and sincethen I started sleeping and breathing better

Vaping isn’t an alternative for me, I see it as a way forward to a healthier society I sleep better and don’t have
a cough or phlegm. My lungs don’t feel tight. I can breathe with ease again
