Ukulandela ukukhathazeka mayelana nokwanda kwamacala we intsha ethatha i-vaping kanye nokudayiswa okungekho emthethweni kwama-e-cigarette aqukethe i-nicotine, indikimba ephakeme yokunethezeka kwe-Australia izitolo manje iphokophelele ukuba kube nengqungquthela kazwelonke ye-vaping. Phakathi kwezinhlelo ezibalulekile zale ngqungquthela kuzoba ukunxenxa uhlelo lokwethulwa kwamalayisensi kubathengisi.
Lokhu kuza ngemuva konyaka iTherapeutic Goods Association (TGA) iphoqelele imodeli yencwadi kadokotela kuphela ama-e-cigarettes nama-vapes equkethe i-nicotine kulo lonke elase-Australia. Ngokusho kukangqongqoshe wezempilo, uGreg Hunt, inqubomgomo eyethulwa ngo-Okthoba 2021 ihlose ukunciphisa isibalo sentsha ethatha i-vaping ezweni.
Okuqukethwe
Imodeli yencwadi kadokotela kuphela ayanele
Ngisho noma inqubomgomo yencwadi kadokotela kuphela yayidizayinelwe isifundo esihle, i-Australian Association of Convenience Stores, ngecebo layo nomeluleki wenqubomgomo, u-Ben Meredith, uzwakalise ukukhathazeka ngokuthi le nqubomgomo ayanele ukusiza ukunqanda abantu abasha ekwamukeleni ukuziphatha kokuphefumula. Ngakho-ke, kusekuningi okufanele kwenziwe ukuze kufinyelelwe lowo mgomo.
Kanye nempumelelo yayo embalwa, le nqubomgomo idale usongo olusha, “imakethe emnyama ekhula njalo,” ngokusho kukaMnu. Meredith. Imakethe ye-vape black yenze kwaba lula ngentsha ukuthi ifinyelele ugwayi we-e-cutting one-nicotine oluthayo kubantu abadala. “Ngokuqhubeka ngale ndlela sivumela abantu abasha ukuthi bafinyelele le mikhiqizo ngokudayisa okungekho emthethweni noma nge-inthanethi,” kusho uMnu. Meredith.
I-Vape Black Market Menace
Ukuze uqonde isimo sangempela sokuphefumula e-Australia, inhlangano yagunyaza uRoy Morgan ukuthi enze ucwaningo ngokusetshenziswa kwama-vapes emizamweni yokusekela izinguquko ezintsha neziqinile embonini. Ngokocwaningo, i-vaping ikhule ngo-259% kule minyaka emihlanu edlule. Abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-1.1, ababalelwa ku-5.8% abantu abadala abaneminyaka engu-18, manje sebevape.
Lolu cwaningo luphinde lwathola ukuthi u-88% wakho konke ukuthengwa kwe-e-cigarette e-Australia kwenziwa ngemakethe ye-vape black market njengoba ishibhile futhi ifinyeleleka kalula yintsha kanye nabantu abadala. Ngezinombolo ezinjalo ezikhathazayo, kuyacaca ukuthi ukuvinjelwa okubekiwe akusebenzi. Ngakho-ke, inhlangano manje isifuna umhlangano nohulumeni wesifunda ukuze kulungiswe lolu daba. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, le nhlangano ibheke ngabomvu ukuncoma uhlelo lukazwelonke lokunikeza amalayisensi kubo bonke abathengisi ukuze kuqedwe ubungozi bemakethe ye-vape black.
Kodwa-ke, okhulumela ungqongqoshe wezempilo wobumbano uMark Butler ukuqinisekisile ukuthi "izinketho ezingcono zokubhekana nokumaketha nokusebenzisa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi" kuxoxwe ngawo ngesikhathi sokwethulwa kwe-Tobacco Control Roundtable ngesonto eledlule. Esitatimendeni sakhe ku-ABC, u-Mark uqinisekise umphakathi ukuthi i-TGA isebenzela ukuqinisa ukuthobela kanye nokugcinwa kwenqubomgomo kuzo zonke izifundazwe. Futhi, i-ejensi njengamanje iyasebenzisana futhi icubungula ukuthi ingabe izichibiyelo zohlelo lwamanje lokulawula zinganciphisa yini ukufinyelela kwe-nicotine vaped entsheni.
"Imithelela" yebhizinisi yemakethe ye-vape emnyama
Ngaphandle kokubhebhezela ukwanda kokubhenywa kwe-vape, imakethe emnyama ibe nomthelela omubi ezitolo kusukela kwashaywa umthetho womgomo wokuthola imithi kuphela. Ngokusho kukaMeredith, izitolo zilahlekelwa amakhasimende emakethe emnyama njengoba amakhasimende manje ekhetha imikhiqizo engekho emthethweni kunokwenza okufanele. "Abathengi bangena kulezo zitolo, ngenxa nje yokuthi bathengisa ugwayi we-e equkethe i-nicotine nama-vapes."
"Kudingeka sibavikele kubathengisi abangekho emthethweni," kusho uMnu Meredith. Ngokwesibonelo, ezingaphezu kuka-1400 izitolo e-Victoria bathole ukwehla ngo-20% ekuthengisweni ngenxa yokuncipha kwethrafikhi yamakhasimende. Imakethe ye-vape emnyama isongela izitolo zebhizinisi ezisemthethweni e-Australia.
Impi yokulwa ne-vaping ngeke ibe yimpumelelo inqobo nje uma kusenezimakethe ezimnyama ezihweba ngogwayi we-e-container abane-nicotine. Inqubomgomo yamanje mayelana ne-vaping ayanele, futhi kusekuningi okudingeka kwenziwe ukuze kuncishiswe ukutholwa kwe-vaping phakathi kwentsha e-Australia.
Ucabanga ukuthi yini okufanele yenziwe ukuze kuncishiswe ukutholwa kwe-vaping phakathi kwentsha? Sazise!
