Umkhandlu oseningizimu neLondon uzokhulula abesifazane abakhulelwe ama-vapes njengengxenye yomkhankaso omusha wokulwa nokubhema.
Isimangaliso esikhulu sowesifazane isipho sokuphila esikhula ngaphakathi kubo. Kodwa kungazuzisa ngani ukuzala umntwana ngaphansi kwezimo eziyingozi? Mhlawumbe akekho! futhi yingakho iNingizimu London ishintsha ukulandisa kwabesifazane abakhulelwe abayimilutha yokubhema.
UMkhandlu waseNingizimu yeLondon (uMkhandlu waseLambeth) usuqale ikakhulukazi umkhankaso wokulwa nokubhema onhloso yawo kuwukusiza ukusindisa omama abakhulelwe nezinsana zabo ezingakazalwa, ngokubanikeza ama-vapes amahhala. Lo mkhankaso uzosiza nabesifazane abakhulelwe ukuthi bonge isamba esingafika ku-2000 euros ngonyaka ebebezoyisebenzisa ekubhemeni.
Kulokhu kafushane okungenhla, kungase kubonakale sengathi abesifazane abakhulelwe bayakhuthazwa ukuba babheme okubangela ukuthi umbuzo uyingozi uma bekhulelwe? Noma ingabe iphephile nhlobo? Nokho, ucwaningo lwakamuva kanye nezifundo zenza i-vaping iyingozi kakhulu empilweni. Kodwa-ke, izinhlangano eziningi zezokwelapha ziphetha ngokuthi i-vaping, ngokusebenzisa i-e-cigarettes, iphephe ngempela kunokubhema.
Mayelana namanani entengo, ukubhema kungase kubonakale kushibhile uma kuqhathaniswa nogwayi we-elekthronikhi, kodwa izingozi zakhona ziphezulu kakhulu. Isibonelo, lapho owesifazane okhulelwe ebhema, ingane engakazalwa isengozini yezinkinga zokukhula ezifana nomjikelezo wekhanda elincane, isisindo sokuzalwa esiphansi, ukubeletha, nezinye izinkinga zokukhulelwa.
Kodwa ingabe lezi zinkinga ezingenhla azinakwenzeka yini ukuthi zenzeke kwabesifazane abakhulelwe abafufusayo? Yebo, i-vaping ingabangela nokuphuphuma kwezisu, inkinga yokugeleza kwegazi kanye nesifo sokufa okungazelelwe ezinganeni.

Ngenhlanhla, izwe lezokwelapha liphawula ukuthi kunenye indlela kune-nicotine uma kuziwa ekuqhumeni. Lena enye indlela ugwayi ongenawo wemiphumela eshiwo. Kungenxa yalokhu ukuthi abesifazane bakhuthazwa ukuba bavape ngesikhathi bekhulelwe. Ngaphandle kokuthi iphephile kubo bobabili umama kanye nezingane, iyindlela engcono kakhulu yababhemayo abangakwazi ukuyeka ukubhema noma ukushunqisa okuyingozi.
Iqiniso njengoba ama-vapes nogwayi be-elekthronikhi banamakhemikhali ambalwa kunalawo atholakala kugwayi wendabuko, angaba yingozi njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili. Kodwa umuntu akufanele akhohlwe ukuthi yi-nicotine hhayi ugwayi oyingozi. Eqinisweni, lapho ungaqiniseki ukuthi i-vape iqukethe ugwayi noma cha, umuntu kufanele abheke eyethu noma abuze abathengisi babo ngemikhiqizo ye-Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) njengoba lezi kuyizinketho eziphephile nezinconyiwe ze-vape emiluthweni yentuthu ne-vape ikakhulukazi abesifazane abakhulelwe.
Akusho ukuthi bekungaba ngcono uma abesifazane abakhulelwe bengabhemi noma bengabhemi, kepha kulabo abadonsa kanzima ukuyeka, ukwenza ukushintshwa kuyindlela enempilo. Ngakho-ke, uma owesifazane okhulelwe ekhetha ukusebenzisa i-e-cigarette futhi uma lokho kumsiza ukuba angabhemi, akufanele adikibale ekwenzeni kanjalo.
