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.

Within the second day of vaping started to feel better and slept better because I did not cough anymore. No more yellow fingers. Did not cough my lungs out every morning. Cheaper than a packet of cigarettes a day. The best move me and my husband did

Used to smoke a lot due to stress. Specially when we started our business right after tha hard lockdown. But vaping changed that. I feel healthier… not that i quit smoking completely but yah there is still a huge difference!

Vaping has helped my breathing and my blood pressure. I feel 100x better, and my fiance loves that I don’t stink anymore! 😉
