Izifunda zesikole kulo lonke elase-Oregon kanye nezwe lonke liyafuna ukukhala kuvinjelwe. Sekuvele kwenzeka lokhu njengoba izinkampani ze-vape zivalwa. NgoSepthemba I-JUUL Labs yafinyelela isivumelwano esingu-$438.5 million nezindawo nezifunda ezingu-34 ezihlanganisa i-Oregon ngemikhuba yayo yokuthengisa engenasimilo.
Ngokuka-Ellen Rosenblum, i-Oregon State Attorney General, i-JUUL Labs iqondise ngamabomu intsha ekukhangiseni kwayo ugwayi we-elekthronikhi kuyilapho kwakungekho emthethweni ukuthi ithenge futhi isebenzise leyo mikhiqizo. Lokhu empeleni kwalimaza kakhulu inqubekelaphambili eyayenziwe yizifundazwe ekunciphiseni ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi ezweni lonke. Njengoba i-JUUL kanye nabanye abakhiqizi be-e-cigarette beqondise intsha, manje isizukulwane esisha sesingene emikhiqizweni kagwayi.
Njengomunye wabagqugquzeli becala elibhekene noJuul Oregon state uzothola cishe izigidi ezingu-&18.8 kusukela ekuxazululeni. Ukwengeza, i-JUUL izogwema ukukhomba intsha ezinhlelweni zayo zokufundisa ukumaketha nokuxhasa ngemali phakathi kwezinye izindlela eziningi zokunqanda ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi entsheni.
Isifunda Sesikole SaseSilver Falls Sijoyina Icala Elibhekene Nabenzi Be-Vape
Kodwa impumelelo ngecala leJUUL akusona isiphetho. Manje ezinye izikole eziningi zezifunda ezweni lonke zimangalela abakhiqizi be-e-cigarette ukuthi bavinjwe yi-vaping. Muva nje iSilver Falls School District ijoyine ezinye izifunda ezingaphezu kuka-1,000 ezweni lonke ekumangaleleni abakhiqizi nabasabalalisi be-vape. Abamangalelwa kuleli cala elisha bahlanganisa i-Altria Group Inc., kanye ne-JUUL Labs Inc., phakathi kwabanye.
Ngokusho kwezikhulu zeSilver Falls, abamangalelwa kuleli cala bebelandela imikhankaso yezokuxhumana eyimpumelelo efana nomkhankaso othi “Vaporized” kanye nomkhankaso othi “Doit4juul”. Le mikhankaso yenza i-vaping ipholile entsheni nasezinganeni futhi yadlala indima enkulu ekuguquleni ukuluthwa kwe-nicotine kwentsha kwaba inkinga yezempilo yomphakathi ezweni.
Becaphuna izifundo ezedlule, izikhulu zesifunda sesikole saseSilver Falls zaveza ukuthi ngenxa yamaqhinga okumaketha budedengu abakhiqizi bakagwayi we-elekthronikhi iphesenti labafundi bebanga le-11 le-Marion County abasebenzisa imikhiqizo yokuphefumula likhuphuke lisuka phansi lika-8.2 % laya ku-13.1% phakathi kuka-2017 kanye 2019. Bathe intsha eningi ezweni ihlaselwa kalula abenzi bakagwayi we-elekthronikhi ngoba ayibuqondi ubungozi obuhambisana nemikhiqizo ye-vaping. Bathe imikhiqizo yokuphefumula iqukethe i-nicotine futhi ngenxa yalokho iyalutha kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, zibeka ezinye izingozi eziningi zempilo ezingathi sína.
Izinsolo Zokwephulwa
Icala elisha elifakwe yi-Silver Falls nezinye izifunda zesikole zithi i-Altria Inc., kanye ne-JUUL Inc., yephule ngamabomu iSitatimende se-RICO. Ngokwamaphepha afakiwe, ukuziphatha kwabamangalelwa kube neqhaza ekubangeleni isicefe emphakathini emagcekeni ezikole ezweni lonke nokwenze ukuthi abafundi abaningi bahlukumezeke kakhulu okungenzeka kuqhubeke impilo yabo yonke. Ngakho-ke leli cala lifuna ukuncishiswa kanye nomonakalo.
Ibhodi lesikole iSilver Falls lizibandakanye nenkampani yabameli i-Keller Rohrback ukuze imele intshisekelo yayo kuleli cala. Le nkampani isivele ilifakile icala eNkantolo Yesifunda Yase-Oregon's District Court egameni lesifunda saseSilver Falls School. Leli cala lizoba yingxenye yamacala avela ezifundeni eziningi asalinde iJaji u-William Orrick III e-San Francisco.
