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.

After multiple times of trying to quit smoking and failing using every possible method, a simple vape and a delicious flavour did it. I don’t get sick anymore and have my life back. When I smoked, I was sick all the time. Vaping, without a doubt, saved my life

Vaping flavoured juices has helped me let go of my sweet tooth and made me smoke less cigarettes than I always have. Got back into vaping in 2020 and I hope I can continue delve deeper and deeper into vaping than I ever have before!

I’ve been smoking for 5 years ever since I’ve been short of breath I couldn’t breath so well, once I tried a friend’s vape and I liked it. I’m on 2 years I feel I can run better and breath better. I recommend vaping in a long way
