I-British American Tobacco South Africa ithi ukukhuthaza inkundla yokudlala kanye nokuncintisana okunobulungiswa kubo bonke abadlali, intela ehlongozwayo yentela ezimpahleni ezishisayo kufanele ikhokhiswe bonke “abalingisi” ngokulinganayo. Kodwa-ke, ixwayise ngokuthi amanani entengo yemikhiqizo ye-vaping azokhuphuka ngenxa “yentela ye-vape”.
UDane Mouyis, obekhuluma nekomiti elimile lezezimali egameni lesikhondlakhondla semboni kagwayi, uthe ngokwezibalo zayo, imakethe yaseNingizimu Afrika yemikhiqizo ye-nicotine iyonke yenza ngaphansi kuka-0.5% wemikhiqizo ekhiqiza umphunga kagesi.
Inani elingalingani labathengisi liyazenzela i-vape liquid, noma kunjalo.
NgokukaMouyis, abantu abaningi “bayazenzela”- bangenisa amalitha ambalwa oketshezi lwe-nicotine bese beluguqula lube izitsha eziningana ze i-vape liquid, okuyimpahla ekhokhelwayo.
Izinga lentela elimaphakathi likagwayi we-elekthronikhi lituswa ku-R2.91 ngemililitha ngayinye ngaphansi kohlelo loMgcinimafa Kazwelonke, ngokuhlukaniswa okungu-70:30 phakathi kwezingxenye ze-nicotine nezingezona eze-nicotine.
UMouyis uthe ngesikhathi esebenza ne-Oxford Economics, kwatholakala ukuthi izinga lika-R1.45/ml kufanele libe umkhawulo ophezulu wenkokhiso ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi intela iyaqoqwa kulo msebenzi.
Ngokusho komkhulumeli, umsebenzi ka-70 cent unengqondo uma iNingizimu Afrika ikwazi ukukhokhela izindleko zayo.
U-Asanda Gcoyi weVapor Products Association of South Africa, emele abakhiqizi nabadayisi, ukhiphe isexwayiso sokuthi le ntela izonyusa amanani abathengi futhi ingase ibangele ukwenyuka kwentengo ye-vape ngo-138% kanye nokwehla ngo-36%. i-e-liquid ukusetshenziswa.
I-British American Tobacco igcizelele ukuthi intela yempahla enzima izodonsela amakhasimende emakethe engekho emthethweni, ezobe isiyanda. IGcoyi lavumelana nalesi sitatimende.
Lezi zinguquko ezilandelayo zasikiselwa imboni kagwayi yesizwe imikhiqizo yokuphefumula:
- Ukuze uvumele Uphiko Lwezentela LwaseNingizimu Afrika (i-SARS) ukuthi lufinyelele emakethe, kufanele kusetshenziswe uhlelo lokubhalisa olunezindleko zabakhiqizi nabadayisi.
- Kwenze kudingeke ukulebula imikhiqizo ngenani layo le-nicotine. Ama-vapes kufanele aqashwe ngokuya ngamamililitha e-nicotine kunenombolo yemidwebo abawanikezayo manje.
- Ngokushesha, sebenzisa isistimu ye-track-and-trace enekhodi ekhethekile yokuhlonza yomkhiqizo ngamunye.
UGcoyi uqhube wathi isiphakamiso sentela siyinkinga njengoba ukuthethelelwa kwaso bekungalungile.
Uthe indlela uMnyango Wezezimali Kazwelonke achaza ngayo isayensi ngale ntela ayilungile ngoba kusho ukuthi imboni ye-vaping izama ukubukela phansi imizamo yamazwe ngamazwe yokulawula ugwayi, nakuba ucwaningo oluningi lwamazwe ngamazwe lubonise ukuthi i-vaping iyindlela yokunciphisa ingozi ehlukile ekubhemeni okuvamile. .
Uqhube wathi uMnyango wezeziMali unikeze ulwazi oluncane ngokuthi lo msebenzi uzothuthukisa kanjani impilo yomphakathi nokuthi ucwaningo olwenele mayelana nokuthathwa kwezingane. Ngenxa yalokho, inhloso yokukhishwa kwempahla ayizange icace.
Ngokuka-Gcoyi, ukwamukelwa kwentela kuzoba nemiphumela embalwa ebingalindelekile nengenangqondo, enye yazo ukuthi umsebenzi ohlongozwayo uzokwenza ukukhuphuka kwemfucumfucu kube nenani elikhulu kunokubhema futhi kukhuthaze imakethe engekho emthethweni, ngokuphikisana ngqo nefilosofi yokunciphisa ukulimala.
Kusukela lapho, iVapor Products Association isinxuse izinkampani ukuthi ziyinqabe intela yentela futhi yanxusa uMgcinimafa ukuthi abhekisise imiphumela yohlelo lwazo ngaphambi kokuthatha isinqumo.
