Okuqukethwe
Iyiphi enye indlela engcono kakhulu ye-Vape
Uhlelo lwakamuva lwase-UK “lokushintsha ukuze umise”, olwethulwa ngo-April, luyisibonelo sesu elifisa ukuvelela kodwa elincomekayo. Umgomo oyinhloko? Ukushintsha isigidi esisodwa esimangalisayo ababhemayo kusukela ekuxhakathisweni okuyingozi kukagwayi ogwini oluphephile lwe-vaping. Lokhu kuyingxenye yohlelo olubanzi lwezwe lokudala iBrithani “engabhemi” ngonyaka wezi-2030. Umgomo awukona ngempela ukuqedwa ngokuphelele kodwa ukuncishiswa okuncomekayo: ukwehlisa izinga lokubhenywa kwehle lifinyelele cishe ku-5%.
Izikhuthazo Zokuyeka
Ngaphandle kokukhuthaza i-vaping njengenye indlela, uhulumeni wase-UK uhlinzeka ngezibonelelo zezimali. Abesifazane abakhulelwe, okungenzeka ukuthi bayiqembu elisengozini kakhulu uma kuziwa emiphumeleni yokubhema, banikezwa amavawusha afinyelela ku-£400 (€456) ukuze bayeke ukubhema. Lezi zinyathelo ezisebenzayo, ngokusho kwabakhankasi, ziwukugxuma okukhulu endleleni efanele.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-UK iphinde ilwe nokuthengiswa okungekho emthethweni kwama-vapes ezinganeni. Ukuthunyelwa “kwethimba lamaphoyisa asebenza ngokungemthetho” kukhombisa ukungathí sina izwe elisingatha ngakho lolu daba, kuhloswe ngalo ukulingana phakathi kokuthuthukisa izindlela ezinempilo nokuvikela ukuphepha. Osemncane.
Ngokufanayo, i-Ireland, umakhelwane oseduze, kulindeleke ukuthi ishaye umthetho wokuvinjelwa kokuthengiswa kwe i-e-cigarettes ezinganeni kulo Julayi ozayo, okubonisa ukuthi umfutho wokulwa nogwayi awuwona nje umkhuba wase-UK.
Isimo Sokubhema eYurophu
Ukuze siqonde umongo obanzi, ake singene sijule esimweni sokubhema sase-Europe. Ngokusho kwedatha ye-Eurostat:
- U-7% wabantu be-EU uyazitika ngokubhema nsuku zonke.
- Ngo-2019, ukuhlukaniswa kwembula ukuthi u-5.9% wayebhema ugwayi ongu-20 noma ngaphezulu nsuku zonke, kuyilapho u-12.6% ebhema amayunithi angaphansi kuka-20.
- Amazwe anjengeBulgaria, iTurkey, iGreece, iHungary, neLatvia ahamba phambili ohlwini lwamazinga aphezulu okusetshenziswa kukagwayi, asuka ku-24.9% kuya ku-28.2%. Ngokuphambene, i-Sweden, i-Iceland, i-Finland, i-Norway, ne-Luxembourg imele enye ingxenye ye-spectrum, namazinga okubhema aphansi ngo-9.3%.
Umehluko Wobulili Ekubhemeni
EYurophu, kunokuhlukana kobulili uma kuziwa ekubhemeni. Amadoda maningi amathuba okuthi abheme kunabesifazane, 22.3% kuya ku-14.8%. Umehluko phakathi kobulili obubili, nokho, mncane emazweni athile noma uhlehlisiwe. Ngokwesibonelo, eDenmark, abesifazane ababhemayo badlula kancane amadoda ngenani, futhi eNorway, igebe lincane, kunomehluko ongu-1.6% kuphela.
I-Vape: Enye indlela
Isiko lokufuthuza, elethulwe njengendlela ephephile kunogwayi wendabuko, liyakhula. Nakuba ijenali yezokwelapha ye-BMJ ithi akukacaci ukuthi i-vaping ayinabungozi kangako ohlelweni lokuphefumula, kukhuthazwa njengokungawulimazi kangako uma kuqhathaniswa nokubhema okuvamile.
Idatha evela ku-Eurostat yembula ukuthi i-France, i-Poland, ne-Netherlands amazwe aphezulu lapho ukukhuphuka kwe-vaping kuthandwa khona, ngamanani angu-6.6%, 6.0%, no-5.9% ngokulandelana. Ngokuphambene, iSpain neTurkey zibika amazinga amancane oku-vaping angu-1.0% no-0.9%.
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi emazweni afana ne-Poland, Ireland, Greece, France, Portugal, kanye ne-Iceland, ama-vapers ansuku zonke adlula abasebenzisi bezikhathi ezithile.
Yini Next?
Uma kubhekwa isimo sezwe esiguqukayo, umkhankaso wase-UK “wokushintsha ukuze umise” kanye nomuzwa obanzi wase-Europe, kusobala ukuthi izwekazi lishintshela emikhubeni enempilo nezinye izindlela ezifana ne-vape.
Umfutho wokulwa nogwayi uyabonakala, futhi njengoba izwe liqhubeka liqonda imiphumela yesikhathi eside kagwayi namandla ezinye izindlela, amasu anjalo awancomeki nje kuphela kodwa ayadingeka ukuze kube nekusasa elinempilo.
