Umtholampilo waseCleveland, ongesinye sezikhungo zezokwelapha ezihamba phambili emhlabeni, usugxumele ohlelweni lwe-anti vaping, usakaza ulwazi olungelona iqiniso ngemithelela yezempilo ye-nicotine.
Iminyaka eminingana, indawo yesayensi yezokuxhumana ibonakala kanje: amanyuvesi ahloniphekile nezikhungo zezempilo zomphakathi zenze ucwaningo oluqinile futhi zazisa abasebenzisi mayelana nezingozi ababhekana nazo; Amaqembu ezishoshovu ezinobuqili aqamba izindaba ezingathi sína zezempilo eziphindaphinda izintatheli ezingenalwazi nezingenasimilo; I-ACSH nezinye izinhlangano ezisekelwe kwezesayensi ziphikise udoti ezihlokweni.
Izinto zishintshile kusukela lapho. Abathengi bavame ukudukiswa abasebenzi bezempilo abathembekile nezinye izikhungo ezithembekile. Asikho isibonelo esingcono kunalesi sihloko sakamuva saseCleveland Clinic: The Effects of vaping noma Ukubhema Emsebenzini Womzimba:
Ngokuphikisana nombono ovamile, ukufutha akuyona indawo ephephile yokubhema. Ngempela, abacwaningi bathi ukusabalala kwe-vaping “kubeka engcupheni intuthuko yamashumi amahlanu eminyaka yempi yokulwa nokusetshenziswa kukagwayi.”
I-athikili iyingxube yokungaqondakali, izibalo ezikhethwe ucherry, kanye namanga aluhlaza. Ukuze sigcine isithunzi somndeni wethu, ngeke sisebenzise igama elinezinhlamvu eziyisishiyagalombili kulo. Ake sihlole imininingwane ethile ukuze sibone ukuthi singakwazi yini ukusiza iCleveland Clinic ngqo emkhunjini.
Ngokusho the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), iningi elimangalisayo lama-vapes atholakala e-United States aqukethe i-nicotine, osekuyisikhathi eside yaziwa njengekhemikhali eyingozi futhi eluthayo.
Uma ungekho izinhlanganisela eziyingozi ezitholakala entuthuni kagwayi, i-nicotine iyisikhuthazi esibuthakathaka kuphela. Lokhu okutholakele kuhlangatshezwana nomtholampilo, otusa izinhlaka ezine-nicotine, izifutho ezifuthwayo emakhaleni, okokuhogela, ama-lozenji, nama-patches, njengezinsiza zokuyeka ukubhema. Inani elincane le-nicotine alikwazi ukuba “yingozi futhi lilutheke” lapho lifakwe i-vaped, futhi ngeke libe “umuthi” lapho lihlinzekwa yizinkampani ezinkulu zemithi. Lawa amagama ahlukene.
I-Vaping isithandwa kakhulu, ikakhulukazi phakathi Osemncane abantu kanye nentsha. Ngokocwaningo, i-vaping phakathi kwabantu abasha inyuke isuka ku-1% ngo-2011 yaya ku-21% emangalisayo ngo-2018.
Uma izibalo zamanje kakhulu ze-CDC's National Youth Tobacco Survey zifakiwe, lo mkhuba uhlehla ngokuphelele—iminyaka emine eyengeziwe yedatha i-Cleveland Clinic enganakiwe. Namuhla, ingaphansi kuka-10% yentsha ivape, futhi iningi labantu selivele libhema. Lokhu kuyiqiniso nasentsheni; bangabantu ababhemayo abasebenzisa i-vaping ukuze babasize bayeke ukubhema. Ngempela, i-vaping iphumelele kakhulu kunokuyeka imithi enconywe umtholampilo wase-Cleveland.
Ukusebenzisa ugwayi kunemithelela emibi kakhulu neyesikhathi eside ekusebenzeni komzimba nasekuzivocavoceni… Ukuphefumula, njengokubhema, kungabangela izinkinga zokuphefumula kanye nobuhlungu besifuba noma ukucinana. (Lezi akuzona izinhlobo zezimpawu ezingakugqugquzela ukuthi ugijime imilenze eyengeziwe noma uthuthukise amandla akho okwenza amasethi ambalwa engeziwe ngaphakathi kwejimu.)
Ngijima izinsimbi futhi ngigijima ama-sprints kathathu ngesonto, futhi ngiyabhema nsuku zonke, kodwa ukusebenza kahle kwami ejimini akuthinteki. Akumina ngedwa ozizwa ngale ndlela. Ngokocwaningo olushicilelwe kumagazini i-Drug and Alcohol Dependence ngoMeyi 2022:
Lapho beneminyaka engu-39, u-36% wabantu ababhemayo abaneminyaka engu-30 base beshintshele engxenyeni eshisayo noma ngaso sonke isikhathi. Imvamisa yokuphefumula esezingeni eliphakeme yahlotshaniswa nemiphumela emine kweyisishiyagalolunye ehloliwe, okuhlanganisa ukuvivinya umzimba okwengeziwe, ukuhlanganyela okuthe xaxa, [kanye] nempilo engokomzimba ethuthukisiwe… eneminyaka engama-39, ngisho nangemva kokulawula ukuziphatha kwangaphambili lapho ngineminyaka engama-30 [kugcizelelwe].
Umbuzo wokulandelela womtholampilo waseCleveland: uma i-vaping ikhubaza amazinga okuqina, kungani abantu bezivocavoca kakhulu ngemva kokushintshela kugwayi we-electronic? Mhlawumbe indikimba ekhulayo yocwaningo efakazela izinzuzo zokufunxa, ikakhulukazi izifo zamaphaphu ezithuthukisiwe zingasisiza ekuphenduleni lowo mbuzo.
I-Nicotine iwumlutha kakhulu futhi iyingozi. Kunzima ukuyeka ukubhema nokubhema. Abanye ababhemayo bangase badinge ukuzama izindlela ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuthola elingana nabo, futhi ukubuyela emuva kuyisimo esijwayelekile...
Indlela yesibili imi kanje:
Zama izinketho ezitholakala ekhawuntareni njengamapeshi e-nicotine, izinhlaka, noma amalozenji. Ungase futhi ukhulume nodokotela wakho mayelana ne-nicotine kadokotela ngendlela ye-inhaler noma isifutho samakhala.
Ngakho, ukuze kugwenywe lesi “sidakamizwa esiyingozi nesilutha ngendlela emangalisayo,” iCleveland Clinic itusa ukuba kusetshenziswe ikhemikhali efanayo eyingozi neluthayo. Ukubhuqa kwalesi simo akulahleki kunoma ubani, ngisho nezilima ezibhale lesi siqeshana.
Lokhu akusho ukuphikisa ukuthi ukwelashwa esikhundleni se-nicotine akusebenzi ngokuphelele. Isebenza ngempumelelo kwabaningi ababekade bebhema, njengalabo abasebenzisa i-e-cigarette ukuze banciphise noma basuse ukulutheka kwabo kwe-nicotine. Kodwa-ke, ngokunengqondo akunakwenzeka ukugxeka into ethile ngenkathi uyinikeza iziguli zakho.
Akukhona okungalindelekile ukuthi izinhlangano ezimelene nogwayi nezintatheli zibhekise ku-vaping. Izilima nezilima zivame ukuthola ulwazi olungalungile. Kodwa lapho umtholampilo waseCleveland, ozichaza “njengohlelo lwezempilo lokuqala oludidiyelwe emhlabeni wonke,” uphinda inkulumo ekhohlisayo ye-Truth Initiative, sinenkinga enkulu.
Izinhlangano zezempilo zomphakathi zenze okuningi ukunqanda ababhemayo ukuthi baguqukele ekubeni yi-vaping, okungase kubalahlekisele impilo yabo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iziphi izinhloso zawo, iCleveland Clinic iyabuchitha ubufakazi futhi ibeka iziguli ezingenakubalwa engozini.
Yiqiniso, bekulokhu kukhona okuhlukile kulo mthetho. Ukuhlasela okuthathe amashumi eminyaka kumafutha agcwele ngokungangabazeki kuyisibonelo esicacile somuthi ovamile osakaza izeluleko zezempilo eziyiphutha emphakathini.
