vaping phakathi kwentsha kuba inkinga enkulu emhlabeni wonke. E-NSW izikhulu zezempilo zikhathazekile ngokwanda kwamacala ukushaqeka phakathi kwabantu abasha. Ngalesi sizathu, bafuna abazali baqonde ubungozi bezempilo obungase bube yi-vaping futhi basize izingane zabo ziqhelelane nale mikhiqizo ngesikhathi samaholide esikole.
Muva nje, uDkt Kerry Chant, oyiSikhulu Sezempilo se-NSW, ubesemkhankasweni wokukhuthaza abazali ukuthi bakhulume nezingane zabo ngezingozi zokushunqisa zisencane ekuphileni kwazo. Lena enye yezindlela zokuvimbela izingane ukuthi zithathe i-vaping.
Ekhuluma nabezindaba, uDkt Chant uthe ihhovisi lezempilo likhuthaza abazali ukuthi bafunde ngobungozi bemikhiqizo efuthayo. Kufanele bafunde nokuthi le mishini ibukeka kanjani njengoba eminye yakhelwe ukuthi ibukeke njengamapani noma izinti ze-USB futhi ingafihlwa kalula. Uphinde waxwayisa ngokuthi imikhiqizo yokuphefumula iqukethe amakhemikhali amaningi ayingozi aziwa ukuthi adala izinkinga zempilo ezingalungiseki empilweni. Ngoba Osemncane abantu, ayikho imikhiqizo yokuphefumula ephephile.
Ucele abazali ukuthi bashayele ku-1800011511 ukuze bathole usizo lwezempilo yengqondo. Ngenkathi enikeza inombolo ukhumbuze abazali ukuthi izifundo zesayensi zixhumanise i-vaping phakathi kwentsha nokukhathazeka ngempilo yengqondo. Ngakho-ke abazali kufanele baqaphele noma yiziphi izimpawu zezinkinga zengqondo ezinganeni zabo ezisakhula. Uma kukhona inkinga, kufanele bacabange ukushayela abeluleki be-Quitline inombolo ethi 137848 ukuze bathole ukwesekwa.
Le mizamo yokufinyelela abazali iwukuqhutshekwa kwesihloko esithi “Ingabe Uyazi ukuthi Uhoshani?” umkhankaso owethulwe e-NSW ekuqaleni konyaka. Iqoqo lamathuluzi alo mkhankaso wokuqwashisa lavezwa obala ukuze abazali nothisha babe nolwazi olufanele lokuqondisa izingane ngobungozi be-vaping.
NgokukaBrad Hazzard, uNgqongqoshe Wezempilo uthe kunobufakazi obanele bokuthi i-vaping ifana nokuhogela amakhemikhali ayingozi atholakala kusikhiphi se-nail polish kanye nesibulala-khula kodwa esinambithekayo. Ungqongqoshe ukholelwa ukuthi kuyiqhaza likahulumeni ukufundisa izingane ngobungozi bokuphefumula.
Isihloko esithi "Ingabe Uyazi Ukuthi Uphefumula?" Lo mkhankaso ube nemiphumela ekhuthazayo. Ezinyangeni ezine nje kusukela ngoMashi 2022 kuya kuJuni 2022, umkhankaso ukhiqize ukubukwa kwenkundla yezokuxhumana okungaphezu kuka-11.5. Ekhuluma ngempumelelo yalo mkhankaso uDkt Chant uthe kuyajabulisa ukwazi ukuthi abazali sebezithathela izinyathelo zokufundisa izingane zabo ngobungozi bokufutha. Ufuna abazali nezinye izinhlaka ezithintekayo bathathe izinyathelo ezinqala ezihlanganisa nokubika abathengisi abadayisela izingane imikhiqizo yomusi. Lokhu kuzokwenza ukuthi uhulumeni athathe izinyathelo ezifanele zokunqanda ukuhlinzekwa nokudayiswa kwemikhiqizo yokushunqisa engekho emthethweni ezinganeni.
Uhulumeni we-NSW ubesebenzela ukulwa nokuthengiswa kwama-vapes angekho emthethweni neminye imikhiqizo equkethe i-nicotine esifundazweni. Kule kota uhulumeni ushaqe imikhiqizo yomusi ongekho emthethweni ebiza ngaphezu kuka-$1.6 million. Phakathi kukaFebhuwari 2021 noSepthemba 2022, uhulumeni washaqa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ongekho emthethweni obiza ngaphezu kuka-$.6 wezigidi. Konke lokhu okokugcina zonke izakhamuzi ze-NSW okuhlanganisa nentsha iphephile ezingozini ezibangelwa ukusetshenziswa kwalezi zinto eziyingozi.
