Uhulumeni waseNew Zealand ngokusebenzisa i-Vaping Regulatory Authority useqale inqubo yokubuyekeza i-8038. imikhiqizo yokuphefumula adayiswa ezweni. Lokhu kubuyekezwa kuhlose ukuqinisekisa ukuthi yonke imikhiqizo ethengiswa ezweni iyahlangabezana ne amazinga okuphepha abekwe uhulumeni.
Lokhu kuza ngemuva kwesonto uhulumeni ethumele isexwayiso sezokuphepha ezweni lonke mayelana neminye imikhiqizo edayiswayo edayiswa kuleli. Ezinye izikhulu zikahulumeni zikholelwa ukuthi eminye imikhiqizo ye-vaping ethengiswa ezweni ingase ingathobeli izindinganiso zokuphepha ezimisiwe. Lokhu kuphathelene ikakhulukazi naleyo mikhiqizo engeniswe abahwebi abavela kwamanye amazwe. Kakade uhulumeni usehlonze imikhiqizo eminingana equkethe amazinga e-nicotine aphezulu kunalawo abekwe amazinga okuphepha e-vaping ezweni.
Kuze kube manje, i-New Zealand Vaping Regulatory Authority ibike ukuthi isibuyekeze izinkulungwane zemikhiqizo futhi yathola imikhiqizo engu-2374 ehambisana namazinga omkhiqizo we-vaping asethiwe ezweni. Kodwa-ke, imikhiqizo engu-3413 imakiwe ukuze ibuyekezwe kabanzi.
Isiphathimandla sithi sisebenzisana nabakhiqizi nabasabalalisi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imininingwane eyiyo mayelana nokuqukethwe yile mikhiqizo inikezwe iziphathimandla ngesikhathi sokwaziswa. Lokhu kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imikhiqizo iphephile ukusetshenziswa.
Ifuna ukuqeda ukwesaba phakathi kwabathengi uMnyango Wezempilo esitatimendeni esiya emphakathini uthe imikhiqizo eminingi ehlatshwa phansi ukuze ibuyekezwe iphephile ukuthi ingasetshenziswa futhi kungenzeka ikhonjwe ngenxa yamaphutha angahlosiwe abenziwe abakhiqizi noma abasabalalisi. Umnyango wezempilo wakhomba umbiko we-Vaping Regulatory Authority othi ukubuyekezwa kuhlose ukuthola ubuqiniso bemininingwane enikeziwe ngesikhathi sokwazisa. Ngakho-ke uMnyango ukholelwa ukuthi eminingi yaleyo mikhiqizo izobuyela emakethe ngemuva kokuthi okushiywe ngengozi namaphutha eselungisiwe.
Imithetho ye-vaping e-New Zealand ivumela imikhiqizo yokuphefumula ukuthi iqukathe usawoti we-nicotine ofika ku-50mg/mL. Kodwa-ke, abanye abadlali embonini bahumusha lo mthetho ngokuthi bangakwazi ukusabalalisa imikhiqizo nge-50mg ye-nicotine. Lokhu kungaphezulu kwalokho okuvunyelwa ngumthetho.
Isexwayiso esiphuthumayo sezokuphepha uhulumeni asithumele muva nje sicele abathengisi bemikhiqizo ye-vaping ukuthi baqinisekise ukuthi ukulebula kwemikhiqizo ye-vaping abayidayisile kuhambisana nezidingo ezibekiwe. Imikhiqizo engazange ihlangabezane namazinga ezempilo yayizokhishwa emashalofini kusalindwe ukubuyekezwa okuqhubekayo manje. Ukwehluleka ukulalela isexwayiso kwakuzolandelwa isenzo sokuphoqelela.
Umnyango wezempilo ukuqinisekisile ukuthi labo badlali abangazinaki izexwayiso zezokuphepha bangabhekana nenhlawulo engu-$400,00 uma amacala abo ephelela enkantolo. I-Vaping Regulatory Authority isimemezele ukuthi isixhumane nabo bonke abathengisi be-vaping ababhalisiwe ezweni ibakhumbuza ngomsebenzi wabo osemthethweni wokuvikela abathengi ngokuthengisa kuphela imikhiqizo ephephile ukuthi isetshenziswe abantu. Kugcizelelwe kakhulu umkhawulo omisiwe wosawoti we-nicotine oqukethwe kuleyo mikhiqizo.
I-Vaping Regulatory Authority iphinde yamemezela uhlelo oluthuthukisiwe lokuhlola oluzoqinisekisa ukuthi yonke imikhiqizo ekhiqiza ama-vaping ethengiswa ezweni ithobela izindinganiso eziphakeme zokuphepha ezibekwe uhulumeni. Ngenkathi simemezela lezi zinyathelo ezintsha isiphathimandla sithe okwamanje awukho umkhiqizo odayisiwe ezweni otholakale uqukethe amazinga e-nicotine angadala ubungozi bezempilo kubasebenzisi. Kodwa-ke, iziphathimandla zashesha ukwengeza ukuthi nakuba imikhiqizo eminingi ezweni iphephile ukuyisebenzisa, eminye iqukethe amazinga aphezulu e-nicotine engabangela ukulutheka. Lokhu, kuphawulwe, bekukubi kakhulu entsheni esiqale ukuhlola imikhiqizo yokukhipha umhwamuko.
