Ngokocwaningo lwakamuva ukuthi izinhlaka zikahulumeni ezimbili ezikhishwe ngoLwesine, ziyizigidi ezi-3.08 intsha vape ezinsukwini ezingama-30 ezandulele.
Naphezu kwemizamo eqhubekayo yezikhulu zezempilo zomphakathi nezishoshovu zezempilo e-United States, ingxenye enkulu yabafundi basesikoleni esiphakathi nesesekondari iyaqhubeka nokusebenzisa imikhiqizo kagwayi oluthayo, ikakhulukazi. imikhiqizo yokuphefumula.
NgokukaDeirdre Lawrence Kittner, owengamele iHhovisi Lokubhema Nezempilo e-US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Ukusetshenziswa komkhiqizo kagwayi kwezentengiselwano kuyaqhubeka kufaka inhlalakahle yentsha yesizwe sakithi engozini, futhi ukungalingani ekusetshenzisweni komkhiqizo kagwayi wentsha kusaqhubeka.”
Ngesikhathi se-CDC Izindaba uthe, “Ngokubhekana nezici ezinomthelela ekusetshenzisweni komkhiqizo kagwayi entsheni kanye nokweseka izingane ekuyekeni, singanikeza isizukulwane sethu esisha ithuba elingcono kakhulu lokuphila izimpilo zabo ezinempilo kakhulu.”
Ngokocwaningo lwakamuva olukhishwe ngokuhlanganyela yi-US Food and Drug Administration kanye ne-CDC, ngaphezudlwana kwamaphesenti angu-11 azo zonke izingane ezifunda esikoleni esiphakathi nesesekondari okwamanje zisebenzisa ugwayi, ogwayi, i-vape, noma zisebenzisa olunye uhlobo lomkhiqizo kagwayi.
Abafundi basesikoleni esiphakeme babenamazinga aphezulu, ngamaphesenti angu-16.5 abafundi abakuleyo minyaka ababebhema imikhiqizo kagwayi. Ezikoleni ezimaphakathi, ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi kubalele amaphesenti angama-4.5 abafundi.
Ngonyaka weshumi ilandelana, i-e-cigarettes yayiwumkhiqizo kagwayi osetshenziswa kakhulu phakathi kwabo bonke abafundi, ngokusho kocwaningo. Abafundi basekolishi abayizigidi ezingu-2.55 basebenzise izimpahla zokuphefumula. Ogwayi nogwayi baphume endaweni yesibili neyesithathu, ngokulandelana, abafundi abawu-500,000 kanye no-440,000 abawasebenzisayo nababhemayo, ngokulandelana. Ngokocwaningo, izingane ezengeziwe ezingu-330,000 zidle ugwayi ongenantuthu.
Imiphumela yeNhlolovo Kazwelonke Kagwayi Yentsha eyenziwe ngo-2022 isebenze njengomthombo wedatha wocwaningo. Lolu cwaningo lwabafundi bebanga lesishiyagalolunye kuya kweleshumi nambili lwenziwa phakathi kukaJanuwari 18 noMeyi 31. Imiphumela yocwaningo lwamanje, ngokusho kwabacwaningi abalwenzile, ayikwazi ukuqhathaniswa neyaseminyakeni edlule ngenxa yokuguqulwa kwakamuva okwenziwe kumasu ocwaningo.
Ukwehlukana kwezinhlanga kwaphawulwa futhi, lapho intsha yaseNdiya yaseMelika noma i-Alaska Native isebenzisa imikhiqizo kagwayi ngesilinganiso samaphesenti angu-13.5, okuyinani elikhulu kunawo wonke kunoma yiluphi uhlanga, ngokweqembu labacwaningi. Ingxenye enkulu yokusetshenziswa kukagwayi ye-elekthronikhi yabikwa ngabafundi abaMhlophe (amaphesenti angu-11), kuyilapho ingxenye enkulu yokusetshenziswa kukagwayi/ugwayi yaqoshwa abafundi Abamnyama (amaphesenti angu-5.7).
Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi ezinye izici—ukungasebenzi kahle ezifundweni, ukukhathazeka noma ukucindezeleka, kanye nezinkinga zezezimali kuphakamisa amathuba okuthi osemusha aqale ukufutheka noma abheme. Abacwaningi baphinde bathola ukuthi abantu abambalwa bohlanga nezinhlanga bavame ukuthengisa futhi bakhuthaze izinto ezishisayo nezibhemayo ngamandla amakhulu.
Ubuncane beminyaka yokuthengisa bukahulumeni kuzo zonke izigaba zomkhiqizo kagwayi yiminyaka engama-21, okuphoqelelwayo njengengxenye yemizamo eqhubekayo yokuvimbela ukusetshenziswa komkhiqizo kagwayi ongaphansi kweminyaka yobudala. Amazwe namadolobhana abeke imikhawulo ekusatshalalisweni kwezinto zikagwayi ezinothosiwe, futhi i-FDA ilwa nokuthengiswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi okungekho emthethweni ecaleni eliqhubekayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuye kwaba nemikhankaso yemithombo yezindaba, imizamo yokufundisa, nemingcele yokuthi abantu bangabhema kuphi.
I-FDA kanye ne-CDC bobabili banxuse abazali, izikole, nochwepheshe bezokwelapha ukuthi basekele izinhlelo ezihloselwe ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi entsheni.
“Kuyacaca ukuthi sesizuze inqubekelaphambili encomekayo ekwehliseni ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi phakathi Osemncane abantu ezweni lakithi. Noma kunjalo, kusenomsebenzi okufanele wenziwe ngenxa yemakethe yemikhiqizo kagwayi eshintshashintsha njalo, ngokusho kukaBrian King, umqondisi we-FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. “Kumele siqhubeke nokubhekana nokungalingani okukhulu okusaqhubeka nokuba khona, siphinde sibheke zonke izinhlobo zokusetshenziswa komkhiqizo kagwayi wentsha.”
I-CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report ishicilele imiphumela yocwaningo ngoNovemba 11.
