I-AMA isekela izinhlelo zikahulumeni wobumbano zokuqinisa ugwayi kanye imithetho ye-vape kodwa ukholelwa ukuthi ukungakwazi kohulumeni okulandelanayo ukubhekana nemithetho exegayo kuyithuba lezempilo lomphakathi eliphuthelwe.
UMark Butler, uNgqongqoshe Wezempilo Nokunakekelwa Kwabadala, umemezele ukuthi "i-patchwork quilt" yemithetho ehlobene nogwayi, imithetho, amathuluzi, kanye nezibonelo ezingokomthetho zizohlanganiswa zibe yisenzo esisodwa sephalamende. Uphinde wamemezela ukuthi i-Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) izoholela ekubonisaneni nomphakathi mayelana nohlaka olukhona lokulawula ukufudumala.
UProfesa Steve Robson, uMongameli we-Australian Medical Association, uthe lesi simemezelo asinakufika ngokushesha ngoba ukubhema i-nicotine kuseyimbangela yokuqala yokufa kwembangela yokugula nokufa e-Australia.
"Ukungakwazi ukubhekana nemithetho exegayo evimbela izimboni ze-nicotine kanye ne-vaping kule minyaka eyishumi edlule kube yithuba elilahlekile kunqubomgomo yezempilo yomphakathi, osekwakhe isizukulwane esilandelayo semilutha kagwayi," kusho uSolwazi Robson.
“Kuyisici esibi ngempela empilweni yalo muntu yesikhathi esizayo, futhi i-Australia ingakwazi futhi kufanele yenze kangcono.”
“I-American Medical Association iyajabula ukubona izinguquko eziningi ezihleliwe emikhiqizweni kagwayi, njengokususwa kwezinto ezenza ugwayi ukhange nakakhulu, ukususwa kobunikazi obukhohlisayo obusikisela ukuthi ugwayi unempilo, njengokuthi “izinto eziphilayo,” kanye nokwengeza “ ukubhema kubulala” umbhalo kuwo wonke ugwayi.”
I-AMA iphinde yancoma imizamo yokuthuthukisa ukuvuleleka ezinkampanini zikagwayi zokumaketha, ukuphromotha, kanye nezigunyazo. I-American Medical Association ikholelwa ukuthi zonke izinhlobo zokukhangisa zomphakathi kanye nokukhuthazwa kwe-e-cigarette nemikhiqizo kagwayi kufanele zivinjwe.
USolwazi Robson ukwamukele ukubonisana kwe-TGA, okuzoqinisekisa ukuthi kuyadingeka yini ukulawula okwengeziwe kwama-vapes.
"Sekuyisikhathi eside sikhuthaza izinguquko kuzinhlaka zokulawula i-vape kanye nemodeli yedivayisi yokuphefumula kagwayi kuphela."
"Njengoba imboni ye-nicotine itshalwe kakhulu ekufakweni kwemfucuza futhi izamile ukumisa imingcele kagwayi we-elekthronikhi, akumele ibe nomthelela kunqubomgomo yokunakekelwa kwezempilo yomphakathi."
“Ushintsho oluqinile lubalulekile kule ndawo, njengokuvinjelwa kokuthi umuntu angenise imikhiqizo enjalo e-Australia kanye nokuxosha izinto ezenza izinto ezinjalo zihehe izingane, njengezinambitheka nezinto ezipakishwayo ezikhangayo.”
I-AMA izimisele ngokukhishwa kwe-National Tobacco Strategy 2022-2030 kanye nokusebenzisana ne-TGA kanye nohulumeni ukuze kuncishiswe ukusetshenziswa kabi kukagwayi kanye nogwayi.
I-AMA ikhuthaza lezi zinyathelo ezilandelayo zokuqinisa ukugadwa kokulawulwa komkhiqizo wokufuthuza kagwayi:
- ukwehlisa amazinga avumelekile ukusuka ku-100mg/ml kuye ku-20mg/ml, kanye nokubeka imingcele kukunambitheka kanye nenani likagwayi elinga-odwa noma linqunywe
- ukuvimbela ukungeniswa kwamanye amazwe kwemishini yokukhipha umphunga kagwayi ngeSikimu Somuntu Siqu Sokungeniswa
- ukuhlanganisa Izinto Zokuvunguza Kagwayi kuma-Real-Time Prescription Monitoring Systems
- ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo yokuyeka ukubhema i-Medicare kudokotela ojwayelekile wesiguli, ngokuhambisana neseluleko sangaphambilini se-AMA
