Imiphumela yocwaningo lwakamuva olwenziwe ngabakwa I-American Cancer Society (ACS) kuveza ukuthi-ke inani labantu abadala baseMelika abakholelwa ukuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi "uyingozi kakhulu" kunogwayi wendabuko ophindwe kabili ngonyaka ka-2019-2020. Ngaso leso sikhathi, imibono yokuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi “awunabungozi kangako” kubantu abadala baseMelika yehle kakhulu phakathi kuka-2018-2020.
Lolu cwaningo luphinde lwembula ukuthi kube nokwanda okukhulu kokubhenywa kukagwayi phakathi kwabantu abadala baseMelika ababone ugwayi we-elekthronikhi “uyingozi kakhulu “kunogwayi wephepha wendabuko ngeminyaka ka-2019-2020. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kwakukhona ukwanda okuphawulekayo kokusetshenziswa kwe-e-cigarette phakathi kwalabo ababona ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ukuthi "Uyingozi Kancane". Kube nokwanda kokusetshenziswa kwayo yomibili imikhiqizo phakathi kwabantu ababeyibheka “njengeyingozi” ngokulinganayo.
Imiphumela yalolu cwaningo iqondane naleyo yolunye ucwaningo olushicilelwe ku I-American Journal of Medicine Prevention (AJPM) exhumanise i-vaping kanye ne-e-cigarettes ne-EVALI ne-COVID-19 ubhubhane kanye nobhubhane lokulimala kwamaphaphu. Yize ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo kagwayi enjengogwayi nogwayi be-elekthronikhi bekulokhu kwaziwa njengokubeka engcupheni impilo kubasebenzisi, izifo eziwumshayabhuqe ezinjengobhubhane lwe-COVID-19 lwango-2020 kanye nobhubhane lwe-EVALI lwango-2019 zivezwe phambili ezingozini ezintsha ezihlobene. ngokubhema.
Kulolu cwaningo, kubonakala sengathi uhlobo kanye nekhwalithi yolwazi abantu baseMelika abaye badalulwa kulo kuye kwalungisa indlela ababona ngayo imithelela engaba yingozi yemikhiqizo kagwayi eyahlukene. Lokhu kube nomthelela ekuziphatheni kwabo mayelana naleyo mikhiqizo. Ngokusho kukaDkt. Priti Bandi, Usosayensi Omkhulu, i-American Cancer Society, kanye noMbhali Oholayo wocwaningo, "Okutholakele okubaluleke kakhulu empilweni yomphakathi ukuthi ukwanda kokubhenywa kukagwayi kanye nokusetshenziswa kukagwayi kwe-e-cigaret kwenzeka ikakhulukazi kubantu ababone umkhiqizo wabo abawuthandayo njengongenabungozi kangako." Lokhu kuphakamisa ukuthi ungakwazi ukubikezela ukuziphatha kwabantu eduze nogwayi ngokusekelwe ekuboneni kwabo imiphumela eyingozi yemikhiqizo ehlukahlukene kagwayi emakethe.
Kulolu cwaningo, usosayensi wasebenzisa idatha etholwe ku- Ulwazi Lwezempilo Izinhlolovo Ezithrendayo Zikazwelonke ixhaswe yiNational Cancer Institution. Bahlaziya idatha eqoqwe kusuka kubantu abadala abangaphezu kwe-10,000 e-United States phakathi kuka-2018 no-2020. Imiphumela yangempela ibonise ukuthi inani lalabo ababone ukuthi ugwayi we-e-cigarette uyingozi kakhulu kabili ngonyaka phakathi nesikhathi socwaningo: 6.8% ngo-2018, U-12.8% ngo-2019, kanye no-28.3% ngo-2020. Inani lalabo abathi abazi ukuthi yini eyingozi kakhulu phakathi kukagwayi wendabuko kanye nogwayi we-e-cigarette lehla unyaka ngamunye ngesikhathi socwaningo: 38.2% ngo-2018, 34.2% ngo-2019 ngo-24.7 amaphesenti angu-2020.
Ngalesi sikhathi kube nokwenyuka kokubhenywa kukagwayi okukhethekile phakathi kwalabo abaphendulile ababone ukuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi "Uyingozi Kakhudlwana": 18.5% ngo-2018, 8.4% ngo-2019, kanye no-16.3% ngo-2020. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kwakukhona inetha ukwanda kokusetshenziswa kwe-e-cigarette okukhethekile phakathi kwalabo abakubona sengathi akuyingozi kangako: 7.9% ngo-2018, 15.3% ngo-2019, kanye no-26.7% ngo-2020. ukuze kube “yingozi” ngokulinganayo: 01% ngo-2018, 1.4% ngo-2019, kanye no-2.9% ngo-2020.
UDkt Priti Bandi uqinisekile ukuthi “Kunesidingo sokungenelela kokuziphatha ukuze kugqugquzelwe abantu ukuba baziswe ngabathengi ngalokho okutholwe yisayensi okutholakalayo futhi babone ukuthi nakuba ingekho imikhiqizo kagwayi ephephile, kunomehluko wemvelo phakathi kokulimala okuhlobene nokuphelele phakathi kwemikhiqizo kagwayi engaba nomthelela ekuziphatheni”. Ufuna imikhankaso yokufundisa ngezempilo yomphakathi yenziwe yiziphathimandla ezifanele ukusiza abathengi ukuthi babe nolwazi oluthe xaxa.
