I-Maidstone's isazi sezemvelo uTony Harwood useqale incwadi yezikhalazo enxusa uhulumeni ukuthi akwenqabele ukudayiswa kwama-vapes alahlwayo ngoba, ngokubona kwakhe, alimaza imvelo. Ama-vapes alahlwayo atholakala emifuleni, abeka izilwane zasendle engozini futhi aqeda amaminerali abalulekile.
Ngokusho kwakhe, kunenkinga enkulu ngama-vapes alahliwe ahlanganisa imiphakathi yethu ngenxa yokukhula kokusetshenziswa kwama-vape asetshenziswa kanyekanye asetshenziswayo.
Uthe: “Sekuyiminyaka ngicosha udoti, kodwa muva nje kusanda kuba nokunyuka okukhulu kwenani lama-vapes alahliwe, ikakhulukazi ngemva koLwesihlanu noma ngoMgqibelo ebusuku.
"Kubantu abasha abaningi, i-vaping isiyingxenye ebalulekile yokuphuma.
“Wonke umuntu ezindaweni zokucima ukoma nasemakilabhini kulezi zinsuku ubonakala egcwele umoya oshisayo, okuhlanganisa abaxhasi, abasebenzi kanye no-DJ.”
Imiphunga elahlwayo zenziwe ngepulasitiki egcwele ijusi ene-nicotine.
Isici sokushisisa esishayelwa ibhethri ye-lithium sihwamulisa ijusi njengoba umsebenzisi edonsa ku-vaporizer.
Ipulasitiki, izinto zokushisisa, nebhethri konke kulahlwa lapho ijusi isidliwe.
I-vape ngayinye inebhethri ngaphakathi kwayo evame ukuhlanganisa u-0.15g we-lithium, enye yezinsimbi eziyigugu emhlabeni.
Ngisho noma iphesenti lingase libonakale lingabalulekile, i-Material Focus, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo ngemuva komkhankaso we-Recycle Your Electricals, isanda kukhipha inhlolovo eveze ukuthi u-18% wabaphenduli bathenge i-vape ngonyaka owandulele, kwathi u-7% wathenga idivayisi esetshenziswa kanye. Ngokombiko bangu-168 million imiphunga elahlwayo zithengwa e-UK minyaka yonke, okusho ukuthi cishe amathani ayi-10 ensimbi ebalulekile elahlwa ezindaweni zokulahla imfucumfucu.
UMark Miodonik waseNyuvesi yaseLondon College unguprofesa wezinto zokwakha nomphakathi. Uke wakusho lokhu ngaphambilini: “Abantu cishe abazi ukuthi uma bephonsa isihwamuko, balahla nenani elikhulu le-lithium nezinto zikagesi, zombili ezibalulekile ekuthuthukisweni komnotho oluhlaza nokuqhela ezintweni zokubasa. Omakhalekhukhwini bethu, amakhompyutha aphathwayo, nezimoto zikagesi konke kuqukethe.”
I-lithium elahlwa minyaka yonke ingakhiqiza amabhethri ezimoto zikagesi angu-1200, ngokocwaningo lwangonyaka odlule lwe-Materials Focus.
Ipulasitiki iza ngokulandelayo. “Imiphunga elahlwayo ziphenduka ngokushesha zibe unina wazo zonke ipulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye,” kusho uMnu. Harwood.
“Ngaqala ukubona ama-vapes alahlwayo ehla emigwaqweni engomakhelwane nasemapaki ngoKhisimusi odlule, kodwa manje ukuthandwa kwabo kudlondlobele futhi sekuphonswa ngezinga lezimboni,” kusho yena.
"Ngithole ama-vapes ashiywe entanta emfuleni uMfula iMedway naseLen eMaidstone nasogwini lwaseHythe naseSheerness."
Ama-vape alahlwayo asetshenziswa kanye akhangiswa njengafana nephakethe likagwayi angama-20, kodwa uMnu. Harwood uphikisa ngokuthi umthelela wawo wemvelo uzoba mkhulu kakhulu.
Ukusetshenziswa okukodwa imiphunga elahlwayo zikhangiswa njengezifana nephakethe likagwayi we-20, kodwa uMnu. Harwood ugomela ngokuthi umthelela wabo wemvelo uzoba mkhulu kakhulu.
Wagomela: “Ifa labo lizohlala amashumi eminyaka, futhi njengoba beqhubeka nokuthandwa, ukutholakala kwabo kuyo yonke indawo kuzokhula.
“Ngaphandle komphumela obonakalayo emvelweni, kukhona nendaba yenhlalakahle yezilwane.
Udalule: “Izinja nezimpungushe zizingela futhi zihlafuna amavape ashiywe ngenxa yesithelo namathe ephunga eliwakhiphayo.
“Amakepisi enjoloba, nawo avame ukushiywa dengwane, mancane ngokwanele ukuba avimbe indlela yokuphefumula yesilwane.”
Bahlushwa yinoma iyiphi i-nicotine esekhona.
U-Evie Button, isikhulu sesayensi kwa-RSPCA uthe: “Ithimba lethu libhekana namakhulu ezigameko minyaka yonke lapho izilwane zilinyazwa udoti - futhi yilezo esizaziyo. Kuzo zonke izilwane esingazisindisa, ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ziningi ezinye ezinganakwa, ezingabikwanga, futhi mhlawumbe nezibhubhayo.”
UMnu. Harwood ufake isicelo somphakathi ku-inthanethi kuhulumeni ecela ukuthi ukudayiswa kwama-vapes alahlwayo kwenqatshelwe.
Kudingeka impendulo esemthethweni evela kuhulumeni uma ithola amasignesha ayi-10,000. Uma ithola amasignesha angu-100,000, inkulumo-mpikiswano ngalolu daba izoba sePhalamende.
“Ngimile kwelokuthi umkhankaso wami wokwenqabela ukudayiswa kwama-vape alahlwayo uthuthuka ube uhlelo olukazwelonke lokuqeda wonke amapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye,” kusho uMnu. Harwood.
Nakuba ukubhema i-e-cigarette akuvunyelwe kunoma ubani oneminyaka engaphansi kwe-18 e-UK, ukuwathenga.
Izitolo eziyi-13 ze-TJ's E-cigarettes and Vapes chain e-Kent iphethwe nguTerry Utting. Uthe: “Sisanda kuqala ukunikeza amakhasimende ethu isevisi yokugaywa kabusha kwezinto, cishe emasontweni amabili edlule.
“Ama-vape amadala angangeniswa, futhi sizowalahla ngokucophelela. Siyisitolo sokuqala ukwenza lokho engikwaziyo. Kunobunzima. Izinkulungwane zala ma-vapes ngokungangabazeki ziyalahlwa, futhi wonke agcina engaphansi kwendawo yokulahla imfucumfucu.”
Kuwo wonke ama-vapes amane asetshenzisiwe abuyiswayo, uMnu. Utting unikeza amakhasimende akhe isitembu ekhadini lokwethembeka. Ukuvumile ukwenyuka kokuthandwa kwama-vaporizer alahlwayo.
Uthe: “Njengamanje imakethe iqhubekela phambili. Kodwa, lezi zinto zivame ukulandela imijikelezo. ”
UMnu. Utting ugcizelela ngokuqinile umgomo wakhe wokungathengiseli izingane. Uthe: “Sicela umazisi kuwo wonke umuntu obonakala engaphansi kweminyaka engu-25. Nokho, ukweba izingane kuyinkinga esibhekana nayo ngezikhathi ezithile.
"Bangena ngokushesha, bathathe ama-vapes ambalwa, bagijime."
Ngokocwaningo olwenziwa yi-ASH (Action on Smoking and Health), i-vaping isithandwa kakhulu phakathi kwezingane zesikole. U-4% wezingane wavuma ukuthi zisebenzisa ama-vape ezinhlanganweni ezisiza umphakathi ngo-2020. Kulo nyaka, lelo nani likhule lafinyelela ku-7%, futhi abafundi abangu-16% bavuma ukuthi bake bazama ukushunqisa kunonyaka odlule.
Inhlangano ikhathazeke kakhulu ngalesi simo kangangoba isanda kukhipha imihlahlandlela emisha yezikole.
U-Deborah Arnott, isikhulu esiphezulu senhlangano esiza abantulayo uthe: “I-Vaping akuyona eyezingane, futhi nakuba ingakwazi. siza abantu abadala bayeke ukubhema uma ungabhemi, akufanele u-vape.
Kodwa-ke, cishe zonke izingane ezivame ukubhema nazo kungenzeka ukuthi zibheme, okuyinto eyingozi kakhulu futhi eluthayo.
“Kuhle kakhulu uma ungumuntu obhemayo usebenzisa i-vape ukukusiza ukuthi uyeke, kodwa ungasebenzisi izinto ezilahlwayo. Amapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye kuphela ahlanganisa namabhethri, okwenza ukuwagaya kabusha kube inselele.
“Izinto ezilahlwayo ziyinkinga emvelweni ngoba zivele zilahlwe kudoti zigcine sezisendaweni yokulahla udoti.”
UHarwood wavuma. Wathi: “Izingane zibonakala ziyinhloso eyinhloko yemakethe njengoba kufakazelwa ubuningi beziqukathi ezimibalabala nezinongo ezilungele izingane njengoshokoledi ne-bubblegum. Kodwa i-nicotine isekhona kulezi. Cishe ngaphandle kwazo zonke izikole, ungabona izingane zihogela intuthu ye-vape. Isizukulwane esisha siqala umlutha we-nicotine.”
Inkinga yezempilo yomphakathi isiseduze, ngokusho kukaMnu. Harwood, ophawule ukuthi lolu daba lubonakala ludlula ngaphandle kwesaziso sabantu abaningi.
Chofoza lapha ukuze usebenzise indawo yekhodi yeposi kuwebhusayithi ye-Material Focus ukuze uthole indawo eseduze yokugaywa kabusha kwe-vape.
Ama-vapes angalahlwa ngokuphephile kunoma yisiphi isikhungo se-19 KCC Household Waste Recycling Recycling Center e-Kent, okuhlanganisa nalezo ezise-Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham, nase-Dartford.
