Ukufutha kwentsha ingenye yezindaba ezivame kakhulu kodwa ezishicilelwe kancane e-Australia. Nakuba ukushicilelwa okuncane odabeni kubangelwa ucwaningo olulinganiselwe mayelana ne-vaping yentsha, kuyacaca ukuthi kube khona ukwanda okubukhali kokusetshenziswa kwama-vape yisizukulwane esisha. Ukuveza lokhu idokhumentari ye-Four Corner ku-ABC TV. Ngokwalesi siqeshana esivule amehlo, ukwanda kwe-vaping yentsha kudala ukuthi ababheki nezikole bahlale ovalweni lokulahlekelwa izingane zabo ngenxa yokuluthwa yi-vape okuzogcina kuyingozi empilweni yabo.
Kepha kungani i-vaping yentsha e-Australia isakhula naphezu kokwethulwa kwenqubomgomo yokulwa nomphunga ngo-Okthoba 2021? Kunezizathu eziningi zokuthi kungani i-vaping yentsha iqhubeka nokukhula kodwa asikho isizathu esidlula ukukhiqizwa okungekho emthethweni nokuthengisa kanye nama-vapes angabhalwanga. Ngokocwaningo olwenziwe yi-Conversation, u-80% wama-vaper wentsha avunyelwe ukuthenga imikhiqizo ngokungaqondile ngabangane noma ngezinkundla zokuxhumana. Abambalwa abathenga le mishanguzo bazwakalise ukuthi bayithenga ku-tobacconist, baqinisekise izitolo noma amagalaji kaphethiloli.
Into eyodwa la masayithi afana ngayo ukuthi athengisa ama-vapes angekho emthethweni anemiphumela eyingozi kakhulu emzimbeni womuntu njengoba into yawo iqukethe i-nicotine ephezulu. Imikhiqizo abayithengisayo nayo ishibhile uma uyiqhathanisa nebekiwe etuswa ngokwezempilo kubantu abadala abayimilutha. vaping. Ikakhulukazi iningi lama-vapes avela kulawa izitolo ibiza kancane njenge-$20 noma imbi nakakhulu njenge-$5 ekuthengisweni okuku-inthanethi. Iqiniso liwukuthi amanani ayathengeka entsheni okuyikhona okubakhuthaza ukuthi bathenge imithi kalula nangezinga elikahle. Mhlawumbe, ukuba nama-vapes anqunyiwe ngenani elithengekayo kuzoqinisekisa ukuthi intsha ewumlutha icabangela lokhu ngenye indlela kodwa lokhu kungase kungabi ukuphela kwendlela yokuphuma njengoba kunezinye izizathu zokuthi kungani ukukhuphuka okungemthetho kusakhula.
Esinye isizathu sihlobene nokuqwashisa. Yize kulindeleke ukuthi intsha yazi ngobungozi bama-vape angabhaliwe, kuyishwa ukuthi imfundo ayinikeziwe ngalokhu. Ngakho-ke, intsha iyaqhubeka nokusebenzisa lesi sidakamizwa njengoba ingaqapheli ubungozi obungase bube khona empilweni yayo. Umphakathi ngaphandle kokusungula izinqubomgomo ezizothatha isikhathi ukuthi zisebenze, kufanele ngakho-ke uhlole indlela elula yokufundisa isizukulwane esisha ngemiphumela ye-vaping engekho emthethweni. Ukwehluleka kulokhu kuzokwenza umphakathi ulahlekelwe yintsha eningi ngenxa yokushunqiswa kwemfucuza okungekho emthethweni.
Ukulahlekelwa kwentsha ngenxa yokuphefumula umoya ngeke kube nomthelela kuhulumeni kuphela kodwa nomphakathi ngokunjalo. Ngakho-ke, ukukhuphuka kwe-vaping yentsha kufanele kube ucingo lokuvusa umphakathi omkhulu ukuthi uthathe umthwalo wokuqinisekisa ukuthi ukuncipha kwe-vaping yentsha. Kodwa-ke, lokhu akusho ukuthi uhulumeni kanye nezinhlangano zezokwelapha kufanele zibe manqikanqika ekuqiniseni ukuqaliswa kwezinqubomgomo ezihloselwe ukunciphisa ukufutheka kwentsha. Uma kukhona, uhulumeni kufanele asebenzisane nomphakathi ukuze kuqedwe lolu songo olusafufusa.
