Umnyango Wezempilo wase-Philippines (DOH) uzwakalise ukukhathazeka ngomthethosivivinywa omusha we-vape osanda kuphelelwa wumthetho. Esitatimendeni, ithe: "i-DOH izwakalisa ukukhathazeka kwayo okujulile ngoMthethosivivinywa we-Vape ophelelwa umthetho." Lokhu kudalwe yilokho ungoti womnyango akubize ngolimi lo mthethosivivinywa okuwuhlaka. Izikhulu zomnyango zibe seziphetha ngokuthi ukuphasiswa kwalo mthethosivivinywa kuzoholela ekwandeni kokufinyelela emikhiqizweni eshisayo kanye nemikhiqizo ehambisa ugwayi oshisayo. Lokhu kuzoletha imiphumela eminingi engemihle kwezempilo yokusebenzisa imikhiqizo kagwayi, ikakhulukazi entsheni engenelwa kalula yile mikhiqizo kagwayi eyinoveli.
"Lokhu kuthuthukiswa okungekuhle kwenqubomgomo kuzogcina kuholele emiphumeleni elimazayo yezempilo, izifo, ngisho nokufa, ngokwenza," kusho isitatimende se-DOH.
Njengoba umthethosivivinywa uphelelwa yisikhathi, i-DOH manje isishintshile ukucula. Izikhulu zomnyango manje sezifunge zagomela ukuthi zizoqinisa isandla kulo mkhakha ngokuqalisa nokusebenzisa yonke imithetho nemigomo ekhona evimbela ugwayi. I-DOH ifunge yagomela ukuthi izolwa ngokuzibophezela kabusha ukugcina intsha yakuleli iphephile futhi ikude nemikhiqizo edonsayo.
Icaphuna ucwaningo olukhombisa ukuthi ugwayi oshisayo kanye nemishini yokulethwa kwe-nicotine kagesi kudala izinkinga eziningi zempilo njengokubhema ugwayi umnyango ufuna ukuphoqelela zonke izindlela ezikhona zokulawula ugwayi ukuze kuzuze izwe. Ucwaningo oluvela kwamanye amazwe lubonise ukuthi intsha ithandeka kakhulu emikhiqizweni ye-vaping kunanoma iyiphi enye iminyaka yobudala. Lesi yisizathu esikhulu esenza ukuthi abe-DOH abaningi bakhathazeke ngomthetho omusha wokukhipha umphunga.
Ngakho-ke uMnyango wezeMpilo usuzame ukuqinisekisa amalungu omphakathi nawo abekhathazekile ngokuphasiswa kwalo mthethosivivinywa ukuthi konke kuzohamba kahle. Esitatimendeni, uMnyango uthe: “I-DOH izoqinisa isandla lapho umthetho uvumela khona ukuthi ikwazi ukwenza kanjalo njengoba isebenzisa izindlela ezikhona zokuvimbela nokulawula ugwayi ukuze kuvikelwe impilo yabantu bakababayan (abavoti).”
Lokhu bekubhekisela emithethweni eminingi evimbela ugwayi nemithethonqubo evimbela ukudayiswa kwemikhiqizo kagwayi ezinganeni nasebancane naleyo ekhawulela ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo. Ngokusebenzisa le mithetho, izwe lisazokwazi ukugcina imikhiqizo ye-vaping kude nezandla zentsha. Njengoba amazwe amaningi ebika ukusetshenziswa okuphezulu kwemikhiqizo yokuphefumula entsheni uMnyango uyafunga uzokwenza konke ongakwenza ukuze lokhu kungenzeki ePhilippines.
