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.

Not looking back a day… I can breathe again, no more heartburn, no more coughing up a slime ball in the morning. I just feel alive again.

Since i started vaping my sinuses have been more open than it was when smoking. My lungs also feel lighter and more open since i started vaping.

I have been trying and struggling to quit smoking for years, Vaping has finally made this possible for me, I know it is not as healthy as not vaping but it is definitely less harmful then smoking.
