Iqembu labacwaningi abaphezulu ngokusetshenziswa kukagwayi ezweni lifuna i-CDC(US Surgeon General kanye neCenters for Disease Control and Prevention) balungise vaping ulwazi olungalungile olwabiwe uhulumeni. Ohlelweni olushicilelwe kuyi-Journal Addiction, abacwaningi abahlanganisa uMichael Pesko wase-Georgia State University, u-Tom Miller, i-Iowa Attorney General kanye nabacwaningi abaningana abavela e-Penn State University, e-University of Michigan, e-Harvard Medical School kanye nase-Medical University of. ISouth Carolina ifuna i-CDC kanye noDokotela Omkhulu Wokuhlinza WaseMelika ukuthi balungise olunye ulwazi abalugunyaze ngaphambili oseluthathwa njengolwazi olunganembile.
Indaba ephusile ukusetshenziswa kwegama elithi “E-Cigarette noma i-Vaping Product Use-Associated Lung Injury” (EVALI) ukuze kubhekwe ukuqubuka kokulimala kwamaphaphu kwango-2019. La mahhovisi amabili ahlulekile ukulungisa ukusetshenziswa kwegama okuholela ekuqhubekeni kwamacala olwazi olunganembile emithonjeni yezindaba edumile nasezincwadini zesayensi.
Ekuqaleni kwalesi sifo, leli gama laqanjwa futhi lamukelwa kabanzi njengoba abaningi emkhakheni wezokwelapha babecabanga ukuthi lesi simo sibangelwa ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kukagwayi we-elektroniki. Kodwa-ke, ngocwaningo olwengeziwe, izikhungo eziningi zezempilo zomphakathi emhlabeni wonke kubandakanya ne-CDC zabona iqiniso lokuthi imbangela eyinhloko yokulimala kwakunguvithamini E acetate (eyaxutshwa namafutha ensangu ngabathengisi abahahayo abafuna ukuthuthukisa amamajini abo enzuzo). Nakuba i-nicotine vaping ingase ibe nengxenye ekulimaleni kwakungeyona imbangela eyinhloko. Ngakho-ke, ukuqhubeka nokubhekisela kulokhu kulimala kwamaphaphu njengoba i-EVALI ingulwazi olunganembile njengoba ingase ilimaze abantu abaphethwe yilesi simo.
Abacwaningi balinganisela ukuthi babalelwa ku-68 abantu abashonile ngenxa yalesi simo kwathi izinkulungwane zabanye balaliswa esibhedlela ngenxa yegama elithi EVALI. Ukusetshenziswa kwaleli gama emibuthanweni yezokwelapha kuvimbele lezi ziguli ukuthi zifundiswe ngobungozi bokusebenzisa okungalawulwa I-THC amafutha cartridges. Ngenxa yalokhu abantu abaningi baqhubeka nokusebenzisa izimakethe ezimnyama ze-THV vapes ngaleyo ndlela bagcina behlushwa ukulimala kwamaphaphu. Lokhu kwakungenxa yokuthi i-CDC nezinye izinhlangano eziningi zikahulumeni bezingekho ngokwezigaba ngesizathu esiyinhloko sokulimala futhi zaqhubeka nokuzibiza ngokuthi i-EVALI.
Igama elithi EVALI liqukethe igama elithi "e-cigarette" kodwa bonke ubufakazi bubonisa ukuthi i-vitamin E-acetate ku-tetrahydrocannabinol engcolile.I-THC) ama-vapes Adala inkinga. Asikho isici esitholakala ku-nicotine e-cigarette esixhunyaniswe nenkinga. Ngakho-ke, ukuqhubeka nokusetshenziswa kwaleli gama kuyadukisa futhi kuze kwenza abantu abaningi ababeshintshele ku-e-cigarettes babuyela ekubhemeni.
Ochwepheshe manje bafuna i-CDC iguqule igama lalesi simo ukuze isindise abantu abaningi abasasebenzisa imikhiqizo engalungile futhi okungenzeka babe sengozini yokuhlushwa yilesi simo. Akukhona okokuqala abacwaningi bebheka ukushintsha igama. Ngo-2021 ochwepheshe abagunyaza ukuhlelwa kanye nabanye ochwepheshe abangama-68 emkhakheni wezokwelapha babhalela i-CDC ngokusemthethweni ukuthi isuse noma yikuphi ukubhekisela ku-“e-cigarette” egameni elithi EVALI futhi esikhundleni salokho ifake igama elithi “Adulterated. I-THC” kodwa i-CDC yasenqaba isicelo sabo.
