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.

I have been smoking hookah many years. Then smoked flavoured cigarettes. Stopped smoking due to the smell on my clothing it was just terrible then started vaping. My very first vape was the twisp pen. Can’t get the correct name and the flavour I used was mint and apple. Ever since then never touched a cigarette again! Vsml and I felt way much better.

Gave up smoking cigs in one day adopting Twisp and moving on from there. I would not touch cigs again, they are horrible and bad for you.
