Izikole eziningi ezweni lonke ezifana neMentone's St Bede's College eMelbourne kanye neSouth Morang's Marymede Catholic College sezivele zitshale imali kuma-vape detectors angasho lutho ukuze axwayise othisha lapho abafundi abanobuqili besebenzisa imikhiqizo yokuphefumula ezindlini zangasese. Ezinye izikole eziningi zicabanga ukuthatha izinyathelo ezifanayo.
Njengoba izitshudeni eziningi zase-Australia zizama ngemikhiqizo yokukhipha umhwamuko zincamela ukwenza kanjalo ezindlini zangasese zesikole, lobu buchwepheshe bubonakala njengokubheja okungcono kakhulu ukubamba abenzi bobubi. Ubuchwepheshe bezwa okuqukethwe kukagwayi emoyeni futhi buqalise isistimu ye-imeyili ethule exwayisa othisha. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ivala zonke izindlu zangasese lapho okuqukethwe kuphuma khona. Lokhu kwenza kube lula kothisha ukuthi bathole abafundi benza okubi. Isistimu ye-alamu ethule iklanyelwe ukuhambisana namakhamera e-CCTV asevele efakwe iningi lezikole zamabanga aphezulu zase-Australia ngaphandle kwezindlu zangasese zabafundi.
ukubhema kanye ne-vaping emagcekeni esikole akukho emthethweni e-Australia. Endabeni eshicilelwe ku I-Herald Sun, u-Mark James, isekela likathishanhloko wase-St Bede's College ukholelwa ukuthi intsha ehileleka ekubhemeni umphunga nokubhema ugwayi iyingozi empilweni yayo. Ngakho-ke, isikole sizama ukwenza okusemandleni ukusiza abafundi bayeke ukuzama imikhiqizo kagwayi eyingozi. Uphinde waphawula ukuthi ukusebenzisa ama-vape kwenza kube nzima ukubona uma abafundi besebenzisa imikhiqizo kagwayi njengoba le mikhiqizo kulula ukuyifihla.
Abanye abafundi bayavuma ukuthi bakhathazekile ngobuchwepheshe obusha. Omunye umfundi oneminyaka engu-12 esikhulume naye uthi uyesaba ukuthi ubuchwepheshe obusha bungase bumvalele ngephutha endlini yangasese ngisho noma engenazo izinto ezingagunyaziwe.
Kodwa-ke, iningi labafundi liyavuma ukuthi ama-alamu athule azosebenza njengesivimbeli esihle. Abafundi abaningi abazofisa ukuletha imikhiqizo kagwayi esikoleni cishe bayokwesaba ukubanjwa futhi kanjalo ngeke bazame ukwenza kanjalo. Kanjalo lokhu kuzosiza abanye abafundi abaningi abebengase balingeke ukuba bazame leyo mikhiqizo eyingozi uma yenziwa itholakale kalula esikoleni.
Ochwepheshe abaningi bakhathazekile ngokuthi i-vaping yabafundi abasafunda inyuke kancane kusukela kuvalwa i-COVID 19. Abafundi abaningi bawuthathe lo mkhuba bevaleleke emakhaya ngesikhathi kuvalwa izikole manje sebewuletha ezikoleni. Lokhu kungenzeka kube nomthelela kwenye intsha eningi engazange izame ugwayi.
Okukhathaza kakhulu ochwepheshe ukuthi eminye imikhiqizo yokuphefumula ingase ibe namazinga aphezulu e-nicotine kwababhemayo abasebancane. Lokhu kwenezelwa nawukuthi abafundi abaningi basesikoleni esiphakeme nasekolishi abazazi izingozi ezibangelwa ukusebenzisa imikhiqizo kagwayi. Lokhu kungaba yingozi enkulu uma lezi zingane zesikole zingagadwa.
Embikweni wakamuva, umfana osemusha ophile kahle esikoleni se-Blue Mountains Grammar entshonalanga ye-Sydney usanda kuhlaselwa isifo sokuquleka ngenxa yokuphuza umthamo omkhulu we-nicotine lapho efutha ezindlini zangasese zesikole. Uphuthunyiswe esibhedlela ngokushesha kodwa odokotela besaba ukuthi kungenzeka ahlaselwe wukulimala kobuchopho isikhathi eside.
Encwadini eya kubazali ekuqaleni kukaJuni isekela likathishanhloko wesikole u-Owen Laffin wakhuluma ngalesi sigameko wathi 'Yize ngibonga kakhulu ukusho ukuthi umfundi useluleme, ubungozi bokulimala ekhanda noma ukulimala kobuchopho okubangelwa yi-hypoxia mabi kakhulu zindla.'
ULaffin uvumile ukuthi isikole sakhe njengezinye izikole eziningi kulo lonke elase-Australia besinezinkinga eziqhubekayo zokuqapha nokuvimbela abafundi ekusebenziseni ama-vape. Uqophisane nabazali nomphakathi wonkana ukuze baxoxe ngobungozi bokufafaza nezingane futhi baziqondise.
Kokubili ugwayi notshwala kudingeka kube neminyaka esemthethweni ukuze kuvunyelwe. Intsha ayizinzile ngokwanele ekuzithibeni kwayo futhi idinga ukugadwa.
