Both pepper spray and tasers have been proven to be effective self-defense tools but they work in different ways. Pepper spray uses capsaicinoids (the same spicy element you find in chili peppers) that result in temporary blindness and trouble breathing for an attacker. In contrast, a taser is an electroshock weapon that discharges electricity to...
