Umphakathi ungase usheshe ukwahlulela abantu abadala abasebasha ababandakanyeka ku-vaping. Kodwa ngabe umphakathi uke wahlala wacabanga umzuzwana ukuthi lezi zingane zithola kanjani lezi zidakamizwa? Iqiniso malikhulume, vaping phakathi kwentsha bekungeke kuphumelele uma izinkampani ezikhiqizayo, ezikhangisayo, nezidayisa ama-vape bezingekho.
Thatha isibonelo sikaJuul. IJuul, enye yezinkulu izinkampani ze-e-cigarette ibilokhu igqamile ngokubandakanyeka kwayo ekushiseni kwentsha. Ngokuyinhloko, inkampani yaziwa ngokuhlanganisa amasu okuthengisa akhuthaza i Osemncane abantu abadala bacabangele i-vaping. Lokhu kuze kwaholela ekutheni inkampani icelwe ukuthi ikhokhele izifundazwe eziningi zase-US isamba esingu-$438 million.
Cishe ngemva kwenyanga kumenyezelwe isivumelwano, Izikole Zesifunda e-Santa Rosa sezivele zakha icala lenkampani ngokumelene nekilasi. Esinye isikole esizinze eSan Francisco sithembise ukulufaka lolu daba enkantolo ngomhla ka-4 Novemba 2022. Kuyajabulisa kakhulu ukubona izikole ezingaphezu kuka-1400, eziyishumi kuzo zivela eFlorida zisekela lesi sikole esizinze eSan Francisco ekufakeni icala ngokumelene neJuul. inkampani ye-e-cigarette.
Izinombolo aziqambi amanga futhi uma izibalo zibalulekile, ungathemba ukuthi izikole ezizobe ziseka leli cala zizoba ngaphezu kuka-1400. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi othisha njengabazali abakhululekile ukuthi izingane zimoshe impilo yazo. izidakamizwa nokho likhona isixazululo kuyo.
Icala elibhekene nesifunda sesikole lithi ngaphandle kwesivumelwano esimenyezelwe ngoSepthemba, asikho isixazululo sokuthi inkampani izomisa kanjani igalelo layo ekushiseni kwentsha. Okubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi nakuba izikole ezisekela icala zikwenza lokho ngaphandle kwezindleko, zisengozini yokukhokhiswa u-$25 uma inkantolo ingatholi phutha ngeNkampani kaJuul.
Inani kulindeleke ukuthi likhuphuke ngo-5%, okwenza inkokhiso ibe ngu-$30 uma kwenzeka isinxephezelo siza ngemva kukaJuni 01, 2023. Ngalokhu, umuntu angase acabange ukuthi lesi isinyathelo esinesibindi kodwa esabisayo njengoba kuhileleke izingozi zezimali. Kodwa-ke, amathuba okuthi isifunda sesikole sicelwe ukuthi sikhokhele indawo yokuhlala asondele neze. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi kunobufakazi obuqanda ikhanda bamasu okumaketha kwale nkampani kanye nomthelela wezempilo imikhiqizo ewenzayo kubafundi kanjalo nasemphakathini wonkana.

Engikushoyo nje ukuthi ukuze kuqedwe ngempumelelo lesi sihlava, umphakathi kufanele futhi uqaphe ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi izinkampani ezinjengoJuul zilethwa ezincwadini ngeqhaza lazo ekuqhumeni kwentsha. Ngomphakathi, lokhu kubandakanya nezinhlaka zomthetho ezifana nemithetho ngoba akusizi uma imiphakathi ibamba icala futhi inkantolo ingabasekeli ngisho noma kunobufakazi obucacile balokho.
