Kusukela ngo-2018, iphesenti labesifazane abasebenzisa i-e-cigarettes seliphindeke kabili futhi manje lingamaphesenti ayisikhombisa amakhulu kunawabafana abalingana nabo.
Ngokwezibalo zamuva, intombazane engaphezu kweyodwa kweyisihlanu eneminyaka engu-15 ubudala i-vaping, futhi ukwanda kwe-vaping kulelo qembu lobudala kufana ngendlela emangalisayo namazinga okubhema eminyakeni engaphezu kweyishumi edlule.
Ngokocwaningo, u-21% wamantombazane aneminyaka engu-15 ubudala avuma ukuthi asebenzisa i-e-cigarettes kusukela ngo-2021, okuyisibalo esingaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kwesibalo esingu-10% esibikwe yi-NHS Digital ngo-2018. Uma kuqhathaniswa nabafana abaneminyaka efanayo, amantombazane ayenamaphesenti angu-XNUMX amathuba okuba avuleke.
Iphesenti labafundi abathi bayabhema lehle lisuka ku-5% ngo-2018 laya ku-3% ngo-2021, inani eliphansi ngokomlando, ngokusho kombiko. Ukubhema, Ukuphuza, kanye nokusebenzisa izidakamizwa phakathi kwentsha yaseNgilandi inhlolovo ka-2021. Ngo-2021, umfundi ongaphansi ko-1 kwabayi-8 basesikoleni samabanga aphakeme (12%) ake abhema ugwayi, okwakuyiphesenti eliphansi kakhulu kusukela kwaqala idatha efanayo ngo-1982.
Nokho, inani eliphakeme kakhulu labantu ababebhema ugwayi we-electronic. Iphesenti lezingane zesikole ezake zenyuka zisuka ku-6% ngo-2018 zaya ku-9% ngo-2021, izinga eliphakeme kunawo wonke. Iningi lalabo abenze kanjalo kwakungabesifazane abaneminyaka engaphansi kwe-15. Nakuba abangaphezu kwengxenye eyodwa kwesihlanu bevuma ukuthi basebenzisa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi njengamanje, u-12% uthi uwusebenzisa njalo. Ngo-2010, u-14% wabesifazane abaneminyaka engu-15 ubudala babika ukuthi bavame ukubhema, okuyiphesenti eliphezulu kakhulu elirekhodiwe.
Ucwaningo lukhombisile nokho ukuthi kwehlile ukusetshenziswa kabi kwezidakamizwa notshwala. Ngokusho kwedatha ebuyekeziwe evela ku-NHS Digital, kuphela i-18% yezingane ezineminyaka engu-11 kuya kwengu-15 ubudala eNgilandi ezibike ukuthi zake zasebenzisa izidakamizwa ngo-2021, ukwehla kusuka ku-24% ngo-2018. Ngonyaka odlule, kuphela ama-40% abafundi ababike ukuthi bake baphuza utshwala, lehle lisuka ku-44% ngo-2018 kanye nama-44% ngo-2016.
Idatha ibonisa ukuthi abafundi besikole samabanga aphakeme abanobudlelwane kakhulu—labo abaxhumana nabantu abangaphandle kwamakhaya abo noma izikole kaningi -banethuba elikhulu kunalabo abahlangana nabantu abangajwayelekile enyangeni edlule ukuthi basebenzise izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni, abaphuze utshwala, noma babheme.
Bangu-19% kuphela abantu abavame ukuxhumana nabantu abangaphandle kwamakhaya abo noma izindawo zemfundo abasebenzise izidakamizwa enyangeni edlule. Uma kuqhathaniswa, u-8% wabantu abahlanganyela ngaphandle kwendlu noma esikoleni izikhathi ezimbalwa ngesonto futhi u-5% wabantu benza kanjalo kanye ngesonto. Kulabo abebengakaze bahlangane namuntu ngenyanga edlule, bangu-2% kuphela abasebenzise izidakamizwa.
Ngokwalezi zibalo, kungenzeka ukuthi iCovid-19 ibe nomthelela ekwehleni kokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa ngenxa yemikhawulo okungenzeka yenze kwaba nzima ukuthi izingane zihlangane ngaphandle kwesikole kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2021.
Ingxenye yabafundi ababesebenzise i-nitrous oxide (ebizwa nangokuthi igesi ehlekayo) yehle kakhulu. Ngonyaka ka-2021 kwehle ngamaphesenti angu-2.8 ukusuka ngowezi-2018, kanti bangu-3% kuphela abafundi abake bakuzamile. Iphesenti labafundi besikole samabanga aphakeme ababezame izincibilikisi neglu lehle ngamaphesenti angu-2.2 laya ku-6.8%, kanti inani labafundi abasebenzisa i-cocaine lehle lisuka ku-1.8% laya ku-1.4%.
Ukwehla kokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa, utshwala kanye nogwayi kungase kube yinzuzo Osemncane inhlalakahle yabantu nempilo yengqondo. Uma kuqhathaniswa nentsha engazange ibheme, iphuze utshwala, noma isebenzise izidakamizwa, ngaphezu kwengxenye yalabo ababesebenzise izidakamizwa ngenyanga edlule babike ukuthi banezinga eliphansi lenjabulo phakathi naleso sikhathi.
