I-ASH Scotland ikushayela ihlombe ukuqina kwemithetho elawula ukugqugquzelwa kwezikhangiso ze-vaping njengesinyathelo sokuvikela inhlalakahle yezingane, intsha, kanye nabantu abadala abangabhemi e-Scotland.
Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, uHulumeni waseScotland ubambe izingxoxo ukuze athole imibono mayelana nohlaka lomthetho olufuna ukushaya ukuvumelana phakathi kokuvikela abangabhemi kanye nokunikeza ababhemayo ulwazi.
Isikhulu esiphezulu se-ASH Scotland, uSheila Duffy, sathi: “Siyakwamukela ukushicilelwa kwalo mbiko futhi silindele ukubona kuthathwa izinyathelo zokuqalisa imingcele yokukhangisa nokukhangisa okwase kuvunyelwene ngayo kakade yiPhalamende laseScotland futhi yaba umthetho ngo-2016.” Lezi zinyathelo zidingeka ngokushesha ngenxa yemiphumela yakamuva ebonisa ukwanda okukhulu kokusetshenziswa kwe imiphunga elahlwayo ngezingane kanye nentsha.
“Enye indlela esobala imboni kagwayi efinyelela ngayo kulabo abangase babe amakhasimende ezizukulwaneni ezizayo iwukuthuthukisa imikhiqizo emisha. Ukuvimbela izingane ekuyengelweni ekuhloleni, izinyathelo ezifana nalezo okuphawulwe ngazo zokunciphisa ukukhangisa nokukhuthaza izinto ezintsha zokuzijabulisa zibalulekile.”
Ngenxa yokuthi ukubhema kuwumshayeli oyinhloko ku-16% yazo zonke izingozi ezibulalayo eScotland, intsha ezama ugwayi we-e-cigarette ingase ibe nomkhuba wokubhema kanye nenkinga yokusebenzisa ugwayi elandelayo.
UDuffy wanezela: “Ukuhlola kobufakazi obuhlelekile bomhlaba wonke okwenziwa ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka yi-Australian National University nakho kusekela ukukhathazeka kwe-World Health Organization ngokuthi intsha esebenzisa lezi zinto inethuba eliphindwe kathathu lokudla ugwayi esikhathini esizayo.
“Iningi lezingozi zezempilo zesikhathi eside ezihambisana ne-vaping azikaziwa. Kodwa-ke, siyazi ukuthi iningi lama-vapes aqukethe i-nicotine, engase ibe umlutha kakhulu, kanye nezinye izinto eziyingozi. ama-e-liquids. Hhayi okungenangozi, kodwa kuyingozi kancane.
“Iningi labantu abadala liyawazi amadivaysi e-vaping, futhi ayatholakala ukuze athengwe futhi asetshenziswe uma efisa. Kodwa-ke, le mikhiqizo ngokuvamile iyimpahla yokuthengisa yokuzijabulisa enezici - njengemibala, flavour, nezintengo — ezikhanga izingane nentsha. Ku-NHS, imiyalelo ye-e-cigarette ayamukelwa. Bonke ababhemayo abafuna ukuyeka kufanele bavakashele amakhemisi angakubo noma bayeke imitholampilo yokubhema, esebenzisa isu elithi ‘Yeka Indlela Yakho’ eligxile kumuntu.”
