Izinhlaka ezahlukene zikahulumeni ku Cambodia bakhulisa imikhankaso yokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-vaping kanye nokuthatha phakathi kwentsha. Imikhankaso iqondise kokubili abafundi nentsha engaphandle kwezinhlelo zesikole.
Njengentsha emhlabeni wonke, intsha yaseCambodia yamukele i-vaping emazingeni aphezulu kunokubhema. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-vaping ayikhiqizi intuthu futhi ama-vapes eza ngezindlela ezihlukene futhi kulula ukuwafihla. Lokhu kunabantu abaningi kuhulumeni abakhathazekile ngoba i-vaping nokuthengiswa kwama-vapers kusemthethweni ezweni. Lokhu kusho ukuthi zincane kakhulu izinyathelo zomthetho uhulumeni angazithatha.
Ngakho-ke iziphathimandla ziphendukele emikhankasweni yokuqwashisa ukusiza ukufundisa intsha ngezingozi zikagwayi we-elekthronikhi. Ngokusho kwe Igunya Likazwelonke Lokulwa Nezidakamizwa Unobhala-jikelele we-(NACD) u-Meas Vyrith, ama-e-cigarettes akhipha i-nicotine elutha kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-nicotine ingaphazamisa ukukhula kobuchopho okufanele kwentsha. Ogwayi be-elekthronikhi baqukethe nezinye izinto eziyingozi ezingathinta impilo yabasebenzisi. Ngakho-ke ukusetshenziswa kwale mikhiqizo kufanele kube nomkhawulo.
U-Vyrith uthi i-ejensi yakhe izama ukunqanda ukusetshenziswa okusabalele kwemikhiqizo ye-vaping phakathi Osemncane abantu ezweni. Ukholelwa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwe-e-cigarettes yintsha, Osemncane izingane, futhi Osemncane abantu abadala kuyingozi empilweni yabo futhi kufanele bayeke. Nokho, uyashesha ukuqaphela ukuthi awukho umthetho omelene nogwayi we-elekthronikhi ngakho-ke azikho izinyathelo zomthetho ezingathathelwa umsebenzisi.
“Asikwazi ukubabopha bese sibathumela enkantolo. Singabeluleka kuphela futhi ngethemba ukuthi bazolalela. Nokho singabathathela izinyathelo abantu abathengisa imishini kagwayi ngobuqili.” uthe.
Uthi okwamanje isikhungo sakhe sifunda ngemithetho ekhona kanye nezinhlaka zomthetho ukuthola izindlela ezingasetshenziswa ukunqanda ukubhebhetheka kwe-vaping ezweni. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-vaping isiyintandokazi entsheni ecabanga ukuthi iphephile futhi ipholile kunokubhema ugwayi. Uyanezela: “banephutha kakhulu. Abasebenzisi kufanele baziswe ukuthi ukubhema ugwayi kungaba okungenampilo futhi kuyingozi kangakanani.”
Amaphoyisa nawo akubonile ukudlondlobala kwe-vaping entsheni kanti nawo aselungiselela ukuhambisana nemizamo yawo yokunqanda lo monakalo. Ngokusho kukaBrigadier General Teng Channath, isikhulu samaphoyisa eSiem Reap, amaphoyisa esifundazweni athole imibiko eminingi mayelana nabafundi abafutha futhi babheme ugwayi emphakathini.
Uthi amaphoyisa ahlela imikhankaso yokufundisa abafundi bezikole zamabanga aphezulu edolobheni iSiem Reap ngobungozi bokusebenzisa i-e-cigarette. Uphinde wathi amaphoyisa anolwazi ngezikole ezaziwayo futhi azogasela kuzo ukuze athole izisetshenziswa zikagwayi kubafundi.
UMajor General Chuon Narin, isikhulu samaphoyisa esifundazweni uPreah Sihanouk naye ukhathazekile ngenani eliphezulu lentsha esebenzisa i-e-cigarette esifundazweni sakhe. Uthi amaphoyisa ashaqe izinsiza zokuphefumula kubafundi bakulesi sifundazwe. Uthi amaphoyisa azoqhubeka nemikhankaso futhi athungatha abadayisa ngomshoshaphansi abadayisela abasebenzisi abancane.
Esifundazweni iBanteay Meanchey, isikhulu samaphoyisa esifundazweni uMajor General Sith Loh uthi amaphoyisa asemkhankasweni wokufundisa intsha ngobungozi bokusebenzisa ugwayi we-e-cigarette. Uthi amaphoyisa nawo asebenze kanzima ukushaqa lezo mishini kubasebenzisi abancane.
UDkt Mom Kong, umqondisi omkhulu weCambodia Movement for Health uhlongoza ukuthi uhulumeni acabangele ukunyusa intela emikhiqizweni kagwayi okuhlanganisa nogwayi we-elekthronikhi ukuze ubize entsheni. Lokhu ukholelwa ukuthi kuzosiza ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwazo.
