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 has helped me quit smoking which became a very bad habit with an extremely stressful job and suffering from anxiety/depression.t helps me relax and allows me to sleep at night without anxiety keeping me awake. Less anxiety means depression and situations are easier to cope with

The excitement of building your own coil and not having a morning cough anymore is more than enough reason for me to give up smoking not even talking about the smell of a vape vs cigarette

Been a smoker since high school. Even after saying I would never. Met the girl of my dreams, went on a cruise with her and her family. Just hours after having a morning stinky. She walked past me, and told me I ” smell like a stompie” last stinky I ever smoked. Came of the ship, and bought my first vape. Became a member of the Durban vaping community. Made the best relationships through vaping.

If I did not buy my first set-up four years ago, I would still be puffing on tobacco to this day. Into the Vape shop one day. Quite smoking the next
