Imithetho yaseCanada uhlaka lokukhiqizwa nokudayiswa kwe vaping izimpahla ziba nzima. Ngokuka-Robert Kreklwetz, ummeli wentela ye-vape engaqondile, amasiko, kanye nokuhweba e-Millar Kreklwetz LLP, lezi zichibiyelo ziholela ngempumelelo ekutheni uhulumeni wobumbano aphathe izinto ezikhipha umphunga ngendlela efanayo nemikhiqizo kagwayi ngezinjongo zentela.
Abakhiqizi nabangenisa impahla kwamanye amazwe kufanele babe nelayisensi noma ukubhaliswa ne-Canada Revenue Agency kusukela ngo-Ocober 1 ukuze bakhiqize izimpahla zabo, bazilebule ngesigxivizo se-excise for vaping, futhi bakhokhise intela yempahla. Isikhathi soshintsho kusukela ngo-Okthoba 1 kuya kuDisemba 31 sizolandelwa ukudayiswa kwezinto ezifakwe isitembu ezifakwe isitembu ezikhungweni zokudayisa. Ngaphansi kwesabelomali sombuso sika-2022, kwenziwa ukubuyekezwa kuMthetho Wentela ka-2001 kanye nemithetho yawo yokuqalisa.
Izintela zentela zikahulumeni ephaketheni likagwayi ezingama-20 zingu-$2.91, kodwa intela kumamililitha amabili kagwayi. i-vaping liquid, “okufana ngokuyisisekelo,” kungu-$1. Uqhuba ngokuthi lokhu kuyasebenza naseziphuzweni ezingenayo i-nicotine.
Ngokusho kukaKreklwetz, "uhulumeni wephuza ukuphendula futhi wephuza ukuthatha isinyathelo ngesikhathi kuphuma umoya, njenganoma yibuphi ubuchwepheshe obusha." Ngandlela-thile bekuyisimo sasentshonalanga esingalawuleki mayelana nokuthi zazibuswa kanjani ngokombono womkhiqizo nokuthi zazisingathwa kanjani ngokombono wentela. Bekungeke kube nezintela ezengeziwe, ngaphandle kwentela yethu ye-value-added tax, ebingasebenza kunoma yiziphi ezinye izimpahla. Kodwa zazingekho izintela ezengeziwe zentela, futhi ngokuqinisekile kwakungekho okuthathela indawo uhlelo lukagwayi lwama-vapes. Manje, yonke into isishintshile.
Umthetho Wogwayi Nemikhiqizo Ye-Vaping kanye Nomthetho Wokudla Nezidakamizwa e-Canada womabili alawula imikhiqizo yokuphefumula, ukubeka imikhawulo ekugxilweni kwe-nicotine kanye nokusungula imihlahlandlela yokupakisha nokulebula.
Uma kubhekwa ukuthi i-vaping iyindlela engabizi kangako ekubhemeni, ukunamathisela izintela zempahla—eyaziwa nangokuthi “izintela zesono”—kuma-vaping kuzonciphisa inkuthazo yokuthi abathanda ukubhema bashintshe, ngokusho kuka-Kreklewetz.
I-Propylene glycol ne-vegetable glycerin, uketshezi olubili oluyinhloko emishinini yokukhipha umphunga, kuxhunyaniswe nezingozi zezempilo, kodwa i-Health Canada ithi lezi zingozi azikaqondwa ngokuphelele. I-glycerine yemifino ne-propylene glycol kutholakale ukuthi kuphephile kuma-sweeteners nasezimonyoni, kodwa ukudla kwazo isikhathi eside “akwaziwa futhi kusaqhubeka kuhlolwa.” Okufanayo nendlela ama-flavour agents asetshenziswa ngayo i-e-juice zivame ukuqashwa abakhiqizi bokudla, imiphumela yazo empilweni yabantu uma ihogeliwe ayizange ifundwe.
Ngokusobala, i-nicotine inamandla anamandla okulutha. Ngokwe-Health Canada, ukuluthwa kwe-nicotine ezinganeni nasentsheni “kungaphazamisa inkumbulo nokugxilisa ingqondo,” “kushintshe ukukhula kwengqondo kwentsha,” “kunciphise ukuziphatha okungalawuleki,” futhi kuholele ezinkingeni zokuqonda nokuziphatha.
Nakuba ukuyeka ukubhema kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokukhetha abantu ababhemayo, i-Health Canada iphawula ukuthi ukushintshela ekubeni umhwamuko “kuzonciphisa ukuchayeka kwakho kumakhemikhali ayingozi” futhi “kuhilele izinzuzo zempilo zesikhashana” kanye “nezinto ezibangela umdlavuza.” Ngokwemithombo ye-Health Canada ethi “Vaping kanye nokuyeka ukubhema,” imishini yokuphefumula ihlanganisa kuphela “ingxenye yamakhemikhali angu-7,000 XNUMX aqukethwe intuthu kagwayi,” futhi olunye ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ukusebenzisa i-vaping ukuze uyeke ukubhema kuhlotshaniswa namazinga aphezulu okuphumelela.
Idola ngalinye olikhiphayo intela limane liyisithiyo sezimali sokuyeka ukubhema, ngokusho kuka-Kreklwetz, obheka ama-vape njengethuluzi lokususa abasebenzisi bamanje kugwayi futhi basebenzise enye indlela yokudla i-nicotine. “Kungani ngingashintshela ku-vaping uma kubiza okufanayo nokubhema?”
Uthi lokho kungukucabanga okungajwayelekile mayelana nohlelo olusha lokukhokhiswa intela. Uhulumeni wobumbano uphumile emithonjeni emisha yemali engenayo uma kubhekwa indlela osebenza ngayo njengamanje. Ngakho-ke, umuntu angabheka izintela ze-vaping njengezokubanjwa kwentela kunesenzo sikahulumeni esihlakaniphile.
