Ngomhla zizi-4 kuNovemba 2022, abaseshi bendawo be-Apex NC bashaqa inqwaba yezidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni esitolo se-vape njenge-THC Vape Cartridges nensangu ngaphakathi kwamabhokisi okusanhlamvu nezikhwama zikaswidi babopha abantu abathathu phakathi kwabo okukhona nomnikazi wesitolo. Lobu wubufakazi bokuqala obubambekayo amaphoyisa abutholile edolobheni mayelana nokuthi izigebengu zithola kanjani izidakamizwa ezandleni zabantu basedolobheni elincane.
Ngokusho kukakaputeni wamaphoyisa emaphoyiseni e-Apex endawo, uMnyango usunesikhathi uphenya ngokudayiswa kwezidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni kuleli dolobha. Ngokulandela imikhondo, umnyango uthole incwadi egunyaza ukusesha i-Apex Tobacco kanye Isitolo se-Vape. Kuthe uma kuseshwa incwadi umseshi ushaqe inqwaba yezimpahla I-THC Vape amakhatriji, insangu kanye nemali engu-12,000.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, abaseshi baphinde bashaqa nezigaxa zikashokholethi ezingu-116 eziqukethe izinto eziwuhlelo 1, izikhwama ezimbalwa zikaswidi namabhokisi okusanhlamvu konke okukholakala ukuthi aqukethe izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni. Isithombe sesigameko sibonisa itafula eligcwele izidakamizwa i-THC cartridges namabhokisi okusanhlamvu nezikhwama zikaswidi.
Uphenyo olwengeziwe luyenziwa kwezinye izindawo ezimbalwa ukuze kutholakale izinga lobugebengu. Amaphoyisa akholelwa ukuthi abantu abathanda ubugebengu basebenzisa izinto ezingenabungozi njengezikhwama zikaswidi ukuthutha nokudayisa izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni. Bakholelwa nokuthi abanye izitolo ze-vape bathengisa izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni ngamakhatriji anelayisensi.
Manje amaphoyisa axwayisa abazali nabantu bendawo ukuthi baqaphele imikhiqizo yama-cereal abayithenga ezitolo zendawo ngoba ingaba nezidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni. Amaphoyisa aphinde acele abazali ukuthi babike uma kukhona okusolwa ukuthi kukhona izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni ezipakishwa kumaswidi nama-cereal wrappers. Bathi ukulwa nezidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni eApex yimizamo yokusebenzelana njalo izakhamizi ezilalela umthetho kumele zithwale umthwalo wokunceda ugatsha lwamapholisa lunqobe impi.
Abaningi emphakathini wamaphoyisa manje bakhathazekile ngendlela izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni ezipakishwa ngayo. Abazali nabo baqala ukukhathazeka ngezambulo zakamuva. NgokukaMeganEscoto, umzali wendawo, ukupakisha izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni kumaswidi nama-cereal wrappers kubeka izingane engozini. Ngokusho kwezingane zakhe aziwazi umehluko phakathi kwemikhiqizo ehlanganiswe nezidakamizwa naleyo ehlanzekile. Lokhu kwenza kube lula ukuthi izingane zingene ezidakamizweni ngaphandle kokwazi ngazo.
Yize abazali abaningi bekhathazekile ngokutholakala kwakamuva kwezidakamizwa ezishaqiwe amaphoyisa bathi akukacaci ukuthi lezi zimpahla ezitholiwe zidayiselwe yini izingane. Abanye bakholelwa ukuthi izigebengu zisebenzisa iphakethe ukuze zithuthe kodwa azizidayiseli izingane. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni zatholakala kugwayi kanye izitolo ze-vape, hhayi izitolo zokudla zasendaweni.
Nokho, abaningi basakhathazekile ngoba ukupakishwa kwenziwa ngendlela yokuthi izidakamizwa zihlangane kalula neminye imikhiqizo yasendlini. Phezu kwalokhu, inengi lithi amapholisa akakanikezi umbiko ogcweleyo ngesehlakalo lesi ukuze atshengise ukuthi ukubola okungakanani.
