Ucwaningo olusha evela e-Queen Mary University yaseLondon iphakamisa ukuthi i-e-cigarettes ingase iphephe kunama-nicotine patches kwabesifazane abakhulelwe futhi ingasiza abesifazane abaningi ukuba bayeke ukubhema. Kule nyanga, lolu cwaningo lushicilelwe kuyi-Nature Medicine futhi luthathwa njengocwaningo lokuqala lokuhlola ukuphepha nokusebenza kwale mikhiqizo kwababhemayo nabo abasuke belindele abazali.
Nakuba abesifazane abakhulelwe ngokuvamile bekuthola kunzima ukuyeka ukubhema, abanye badonsa kanzima kunabanye. Abesifazane abavela ezizindeni zezenhlalo nezomnotho ezincishwe amathuba batholakale benobunzima obukhulu bokuyeka ugwayi ngisho nangemva kokuzama imithi emibili ehlukene eklanyelwe le njongo: ukwelashwa esikhundleni se-nicotine njenge-gum noma ama-patches kanye ne-bupropion, isidakamizwa se-anti-depressant esiye sabonisa umkhawulo. impumelelo kuze kube manje kodwa akukho umonakalo lapho isetshenziswa ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.
Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi abesifazane abangakhulelwe bangazuza ngokusebenzisa i-e-cigarettes esikhundleni se-nicotine patches futhi abaholeli kunoma iyiphi ingozi kubo bobabili abantwana nomama ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.
Ucwaningo olusha, olwenziwa e-United Kingdom, lwaluhilela ababhemayo abakhulelwe abangu-80 ababefuna ukuyeka. Abesifazane babehlukaniswa ngamaqembu amathathu: labo abasebenzisa i-e-cigarette ene-nicotine, labo abasebenzisa i-e-cigarette ngaphandle kwe-nicotine, nalabo abasebenzisa i-nicotine patch. Ngemuva kwesonto elilodwa, abacwaningi bathola ukuthi u-14% walabo abasebenzisa i-e-cigarette engena-nicotine baye bayeka ukubhema, uma kuqhathaniswa no-8% walabo abasebenzisa ama-patches futhi akekho kulabo abangasebenzisi noma yimiphi imikhiqizo. Ngemva kwamasonto amabili, le nombolo ikhuphuke yafika ku-21% eqenjini le-e-cigarette engenayo i-nicotine futhi yahlala ku-8% yeqembu le-patch.
Ithimba locwaningo liphinde lathola ukuthi i-e-cigarettes iphumelele kakhulu kunama-patches ekwehliseni inani likagwayi elibhenywa yilabo abangayeki ukubhema. Ngokwesilinganiso, abesifazane abakhulelwe abasebenzisa i-e-cigarettes ne-nicotine ekhukhumezekile ngogwayi ongaphansi kwe-10 ngosuku kunalabo abasebenzisa ama-nicotine patches, kuyilapho labo abasebenzisa i-e-cigarette engena-nicotine bebhema ugwayi oyisithupha ambalwa.
Womabili amaqembu abe nemiphumela emibi efanayo kanye nokukhubazeka kokuzalwa kwabesifazane. Futhi, isisindo sokuzalwa esiphansi (ngaphansi kuka-2.5 kg) sasiphansi eqenjini le-e-cigarette (9.8% vs. 14.8%). Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi abesifazane abasebenzisa i-e-cigarettes babhema kancane kunalabo abamukela ama-nicotine patches.
Lokhu okutholakele kusikisela ukuthi i-e-cigarettes iyindlela ethembisayo kwabesifazane abakhulelwe abafuna ukuyeka ukubhema nokuthi ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka ukuze kuhlolwe ukuphepha kwabo kwesikhathi eside. Nokho, okwamanje kubalulekile ukuba omama abakhulelwe bakhulume nodokotela wabo mayelana nendlela engcono kakhulu yokuyeka ukubhema bona nabantwana babo.
