Intsha Iqala Ukuba Nomlutha ku-Vaping
Abaningi e-Ireland nasemhlabeni wonke baye bakuphikisa lokho vaping isiza abantu abayimilutha yokubhema ugwayi bayeke. Lokhu kube ngeminye yezindaba ezixoxwayo ezicindezela ukwenziwa kube semthethweni kwamadivayisi e-vaping emhlabeni jikelele.
Nokho, e-Ireland, kwenzeka okuphambene. Intsha ibona i-vaping njengelungelo lokudlulela ekubeni abantu abadala. UKatelyn Benson, 19, uthi “Ingxenye yabantu engibaziyo abakaze bawuthinte ugwayi ezimpilweni zabo.” kuyilapho imikhiqizo yokuphefumula iklanyelwe ukusetshenziswa ngababhemayo abalulamayo iningi labasebenzisi bayo abantu abangakaze babheme ezimpilweni zabo.
Ngokuvumelana ne I-Spunout, i-vaping ikhanga kakhulu entsheni kunanini ngaphambili ukubhema ugwayi. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi imikhiqizo ye-vaping yakhelwe ngezinongo ezingapheli ezikhanga kakhulu Osemncane abantu. Kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu iphakethe linemibala futhi alinuki njengogwayi. Lokhu kwenza kube lula entsheni ukuzifihla.
E-Cork, umama wendodana eyeve eshumini nambili wamangala lapho ethola ukuthi indodana yakhe nabanye babangane bayo bebelokhu besebenzisa imikhiqizo ye-vaping yize bengabasubathi abaphambili. Yena kanye nabanye abazali abaningana bakhathazekile ngokufutha kwezingane zabo ngoba abakayazi imiphumela yesikhathi eside yezempilo yalo mkhuba.
Kodwa akuyena nje umzali wentsha yase-Ireland okhathazekile. Ngisho namalungu e-Irish Vape Vendors Association (IVVA) ayavuma ukuthi kunenkinga ngentsha ethatha i-vaping. Abamele usoseshini bayavuma ukuthi inhlangano ngeke iphikisane nanoma yisiphi isiphakamiso sokunyusa iminyaka esemthethweni yokuthenga nokusebenzisa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi iye eminyakeni engama-21.
Umqondisi ophethe we-Vapourpal, u-Joanne O'Connell uyavuma ukuthi nakuba ukufufusa kuyingozi encane kunokubhema kodwa kusenezingozi ezithile zempilo. Uyavuma futhi ukuthi nakuba le mikhiqizo iklanyelwe ukususa abantu abadala kugwayi, ivame ukuthola indlela eya ezandleni zentsha. Lokhu kuyakhathaza ukuthi ngisho nabangaphakathi embonini bayavuma ukuthi kumele kubhekwe.
okuhle Izindaba kumzali othintekayo wukuthi Umthethosivivinywa Wezempilo Yomphakathi (Imikhiqizo Yokuhogela Ugwayi Ne-Nicotine) (2019), umthetho oyinhloko olawula lo mkhakha wezwe, uyabuyekezwa. Kwethenjwa ukuthi lo mthetho uzobuyekezwa ukuze kwenziwe isiqiniseko sokuthi amabhizinisi kuzodingeka athole amalayisense ayisipesheli okudayisa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi futhi kuzodingeka ukuthi aqinisekise iminyaka yamakhasimende.
Kakade i-HSE ibilokhu ithatha izinyathelo zokuvikela izakhamuzi emiphumeleni engaba yingozi yezempilo ebangelwa ukuhwamuka. Namuhla Abakhiqizi nabasabalalisi bakagwayi we-elekthronikhi nemikhiqizo ehlobene nayo kudingeka babike ku-HSE noma yimuphi umkhiqizo abasola ukuthi awuphephile ukusetshenziswa abantu.
NgoMeyi 2022, i-HSE yamisa ukuthengiswa kwemikhiqizo eminingana ye-Aroma King yokudukisa amakhasimende mayelana nenani le-nicotine kuyo. Kulindeleke okwengeziwe ezinyangeni ezizayo njengoba ucwaningo olwenziwa yi-Health Research Board lubonisa ukuthi ukufufusa phakathi kwentsha kwandisa ingozi yokubhema ugwayi.
I-Ireland akuyona yodwa ekufuneni ukubhekana nenkinga ekhulayo ye-vaping. I-EU isanda kubika ukukhula ngo-10% ekuthengisweni kwemikhiqizo ekhiqiza umphunga esifundeni sonke. Lokhu kubhekwe yiKhomishini YaseYurophu ukuvimbela eminye yemikhiqizo ethengiswayo emzamweni wayo wokunciphisa ukubhema.
