Amalungiselelo asegiyeni eliphezulu oBalo bantu baseNew Zealand lwango-2023. Kodwa-ke, abameli abaningi bezempilo manje sebephoxekile kulandela izambulo ezingeke zibe nemibuzo ugwayi electronic ngesikhathi sokubalwa kwabantu.
Ngokusho kwe-Stats NZ, i-ejensi eyenza ukubalwa kwabantu kuka-2023 abantu abaningi bathumele imibuzo mayelana nokusetshenziswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi ukuze kufakwe ekubalweni kwabantu. Lokhu mhlawumbe kungenxa yokuthi i-New Zealand Health Surveys ibonise ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi nsuku zonke ezweni kukhule ngaphezu kwe-150% kusukela kubalo lwabantu luka-2018.
Ngokusho kukaSimon Mason, isekela lezibalo ze-StatsNZ, le nhlangano kulo nyaka idonsa imizamo yokuthola abantu abaningi ukuthi baphendule imibuzo yokubalwa kwabantu. Lokhu kulandela ukungenzi kahle kwabantu ngesikhathi sokubalwa kwabantu kokugcina ngo-2018. Ngakho-ke lesi sikhungo ngeke siguqule imibuzo yokubalwa kwabantu.
UMason uyavuma ukuthi kube nezinga eliphezulu lokubonisana mayelana noshintsho lwemibuzo kulandela ukubalwa kwabantu kuka-2018. Kodwa-ke, uyashesha ukwengeza ukuthi kwakungekho isifiso sangempela phakathi kwabathintekayo ngokushintshwa kwemibuzo. Ukubalwa kwabantu kwango-2023 kuzoba ukubalwa kwabantu okunoshintsho oluncane.
UMasson uthi le nhlangano icabangele ukuba nombuzo we-vaping ekubalweni kwabantu kwalo nyaka kodwa yacabanga ukuthi iNew Zealand Health Surveys yaminyaka yonke ithwebule idatha ye-vaping kangcono. Uphinde wengeza ngokuthi i-New Zealand Health Surveys ihlose isampula elifanele ukunikeza uMnyango Wezempilo imiphumela engcono ekusetshenzisweni kwemikhiqizo ye-vaping ezweni kunobalo lwabantu oluqondise wonke umuntu ezweni.
Kepha, uLetitia Harding oyisikhulu esiphezulu se-Asthma and Respiratory Foundation uthi incazelo enikezwe nguMason yokuthi kungani imibuzo ye-vaping ishiywe ngaphandle kokubalwa kwabantu kwango-2023 ayanele. Uthi i-New Zealand Health Surveys ithatha isampula elincane kakhulu labantu futhi ingachema kalula uma kuziwa ekuhloleni izinga lokusetshenziswa komkhiqizo we-vaping ezweni.
Wengeza ngokuthi Ucwaningo Lwezempilo lwaseNew Zealand lusebenzise kuphela isampula yosayizi wezingane ezingaba ngu-4000 kanye nabantu abadala abangu-13,000. Lokhu akukaze kube njalo kule minyaka emithathu edlule njengoba i-COVID-19 yaphoqa uMnyango Wezempilo ukuthi uhlole ingxenye yesithathu yesampula kuphela. I-Census ngakolunye uhlangothi ibamba sonke isibalo sabantu. Ngakho-ke izonikeza imiphumela enembe kakhulu mayelana nezwe elishisayo kunenhlolovo yezempilo yaminyaka yonke.
Ngokwesizindalwazi sokubalwa kwabantu, imiphumela yokubalwa kwabantu iyona ezocacisa ukuthi imali yezwe izosetshenziswa kanjani eminyakeni emihlanu ezayo ezifundeni ezahlukene ukuze kube nomehluko ekusaseni laso sonke isakhamuzi. UHarding uveza ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthi ukungabandakanyi umbuzo we-vaping ku-census yango-2023, kuzoholela ekulweni ne-vaping ikakhulukazi entsheni engakutholi ukugxila kukahulumeni okudingekile kanye noxhaso.
Kumanje inhlangano yakhe i-Asthma and Respiratory Foundation ibixoxisana nohulumeni ukuze athole usizo oludingekayo emizamweni yayo yokufundisa izwe ngobungozi bokushunqisa kube nhlanga zimuka nomoya. Manje uthi noma ngaphandle koxhaso lukahulumeni, inhlangano yakhe izoqhubeka nokusebenza futhi ixoxisane nohulumeni ezindabeni zenqubomgomo yokuqinisekisa ukuthi izwe livala amazinga e-nicotine kuma-vapes futhi kuvimbele ukudayiswa kwaleyo mikhiqizo ezweni.
