Discover inspiring stories from real people who successfully quit smoking with the help of safer nicotine alternatives
At Campaign for Safer Alternatives, we believe that real stories can create real change. That’s why we’re collecting testimonials from people who have successfully quit smoking by switching to safer alternatives like vapes and nicotine pouches.
Your story isn’t just about you – it’s a powerful tool for educating the public, influencing policymakers, and breaking the stigma surrounding tobacco harm reduction.
If you’ve experienced positive change with safer alternatives, we’d love to hear your story! Feel free to share your experience with as much or as little detail as you’d like. By providing your testimonial, you consent to it being published online.

I started smoking when I was 18, and over the years, the habit became harder to break. I tried nicotine patches and counseling but couldn’t kick the addiction. A friend introduced me to vaping, and it was a game-changer. I started with both smoking and vaping, but soon I was down to just vaping. It’s been almost three years now, and I haven’t smoked a cigarette since. I’m grateful for smoke-free alternatives—they’ve made a huge difference in my health, and I no longer feel dependent on cigarettes.
