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.

Went out to play with my kids and soon realized I couldn’t keep up with them. I was out of breath and exhausted. The look I hot from my kids when daddy could no longer play killed me. With vaping for over 3 years now my kids are the ones who cant keep up with me, vapes have not only made me healthier but it has change the life of my kids as daddy can now interact more with them and has made us even closer.

I tried to stop smoking by many methods many times and actually succeeded for a while but kept returning tp smoking… Until I started vaping. I feel better: no more coughing, no more out of breath while climbing stairs, etc. I have not touched a cigarette since 2013 and have NO craving for that rubbish anymore!
