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.

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.

2 Packets of 20 of the strongest cigarettes for 19 years!
I was diagnosed with Bronchial Asthma and had permanent Sinus issues.
When my daughter was born a dropped the tobacco and started vaping.
I am healthy again!
Why would Goverment deprive me of an obvious better alternative?
