Ucwaningo lwakamuva oluvela eNyuvesi yaseGeorgia lusikisela ukuthi intsha ematasa kakhulu evivinya umzimba ingase isebenzise ugwayi we-electronic, ngokuvamile owaziwa ngokuthi. i-e-cigarettes noma ama-vapes, kaningi kunozakwabo abangasebenzi kancane.
Ngokocwaningo, olwanyatheliswa ku-Tobacco Use Insights, abafundi besikole samabanga aphezulu ababike ukuthi bamatasa bangase basebenzise amadivaysi e-vaping kunontanga yabo ababesebenza usuku olulodwa ngesonto noma ngaphansi. Uma iqhathaniswa nozakwabo abakhuthele kancane, intsha ebike ukuthi izibandakanya okungenani imizuzu engu-60 yokuzivocavoca umzimba izinsuku ezine kuya kwezinhlanu ngeviki yayinethuba elingama-23% lokubhema umkhiqizo we-electronic vapor.
Lena inhlolovo yokuqala ekhombisa ubudlelwano phakathi kwamazinga okusebenza komzimba kanye nethuba lokuthi Abasebenzisi abasha baseMelika be-e-cigarettes uzozisebenzisa.
“Intsha yethu ejwayele ukuba semgwaqweni enempilo yezempilo inyuse ubungozi bokusebenzisa izinto zikagesi. Lokhu kungenzeka kungenxa yokuthi i-vaping ithathwa njengenketho enempilo kunokubhema ugwayi ovamile, "kusho u-Janani Rajbhandari-Thapa, umbhali oyinhloko walolu cwaningo kanye noprofesa ohlangene e-UGA's College of Public Health." Imikhankaso yokumaketha ikhuthaze ama-vape njengenye indlela enempilo kunogwayi ovamile, kodwa idatha ikhombisa ukuthi izithasiselo emikhiqizweni ye-vape zixhunyaniswe nomonakalo wamaphaphu obangelwa ukusebenzisa i-e-cigarettes noma eminye imikhiqizo yokuphefumula.
Kuyindaba ebucayi uma Osemncane abantu bakholelwa ukuthi i-vaping ingcono kunokubhema ugwayi wendabuko.
Ijusi ye-vape iqukethe izinto eziningi ezingadala umdlavuza.
Iqiniso lokuthi intsha “enempilo” ehileleka ezingeni elinqunyiwe lokuzivivinya leqembu leminyaka yobudala kungenzeka ukuthi iqale i-vaping iphikisana nomqondo.
Ngokocwaningo lwangaphambilini, ukusetshenziswa kabi kotshwala nokubamba iqhaza kwezemidlalo kuhlobene, kusho uThapa. Intsha ehileleke emaqenjini okusubatha noma imidlalo yamaqembu ingase ibe izisulu zokucindezela kontanga ukuze ihileleke eziphuzweni ezidakayo ekugubheni ukunqoba kwayo njengendlela yokuthuthukisa ubunye beqembu. Bangase futhi babe namanethiwekhi omphakathi abanzi kunentsha engabambi iqhaza, okwandisa ithuba lokuthi izozizwa icindezelwa abanye ukuthi ihlanganyele emisebenzini eyingozi.
Kuyiresiphi yokulutheka kwentsha uma ucabanga ukuthi abanye abasebenzisi be-vape abasebancane banombono oyiphutha wokuthi konke abakuphefumulayo umhwamuko wamanzi one-nicotine namakhemikhali ambalwa.
Nokho, ngokoMnyango Wezempilo Nezinsizakalo Zabantu wase-US, “umhwamuko wamanzi” ungase futhi uhlanganise nezinye izinhlanganisela ezingaziwa, ezingase zibangele umdlavuza, iziqholo ezihlobene nomdlavuza. isifo samaphaphu, kanye ne-benzene, ezikhona kugesi wemoto.
Ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, ukugxila kwe-nicotine kumadivayisi we-vape kungahluka kakhulu, nakuba i-e-cigarettes ingase ibe namakhemikhali amaningi kunogwayi ovamile. Ama-vapes ayindlela evamile yokukhetha Osemncane abantu njengoba bebiza kancane ngokusetshenziswa ngakunye, abanuki njengogwayi, futhi bavame “ukubhema” ezindaweni lapho imikhiqizo kagwayi ingavunyelwe khona.
I-Vaping akwamukelekile, futhi sidinga ukwazisa abazali kakhudlwana ngalokhu, kwengeza uThapa. “Njengomzali, uma ngisusa ulwazi lwami ngempilo yomphakathi, ngingase ngicabange ukuthi,” ingane yami ayibhemi.” Kuyamukeleka ukuthi avale. Nokho, akunjalo. Sinobufakazi bomonakalo odalwe yi-vaping.”
Ngokusho koMnyango Wezempilo Yomphakathi waseGeorgia, ucwaningo lwangaphambili luye lwabonisa ukuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ungaholela ezimweni eziningi zezempilo eziyingozi, njengokugula okuhlobene ne-vape, isimo esingaba yingozi esiholela ezimpawu zokuphefumula ezinzima njengokuphefumula, imfiva, nokukhwehlela.
I-11% yabafundi besikole samabanga aphezulu eGeorgia bavumile ukuthi basebenzisa imikhiqizo ye-electronic vapor.
I-2018 Georgia Student Health Survey 2.0, inhlolovo yaminyaka yonke engaziwa eyenziwa uMnyango Wezemfundo wase-Georgia, inikeze abacwaningi idatha ababeyidinga. Bangaphezu kuka-362,000 abafundi basesikoleni esiphakeme eGeorgia abafunda ezikoleni ezihlukene ezingama-439 ababambe iqhaza ocwaningweni futhi banikeza izimpendulo zocwaningo.
Okungenani kanye enyangeni edlule, abafundi abangaphezu kuka-10% bathi basebenzise isisetshenziswa sikagesi sikagesi, okuhlanganisa i-e-cigarette, ipeni le-hookah, ipeni lokuphefumula, noma i-e-pipe.
Okutholwe kulolu cwaningo kuveze ukuthi u-7% wabafundi bezikole zamabanga aphezulu esifundazweni bake basebenzise imikhiqizo yomhwamuko kagesi okungenani kanye ezinsukwini ezingama-30 ezedlule. Abanye abangu-4% bavuma ukuthi bayabhema ugwayi ovamile kanye nemikhiqizo ye-vape. I-1% kuphela yabantu ababike ukuthi basebenzisa ukubhema kwendabuko kuphela. Lokhu kukhombisa ukusabalala okuphansi kokusetshenziswa komkhiqizo kagwayi wendabuko.
Amathuba okuthi abafundi besilisa abashunqise noma ababheme ugwayi ayephezulu uma kuqhathaniswa nabafundi besifazane, kuyilapho izingane ezisemabangeni aphakeme zibike ukuthi zidla yomibili imikhiqizo ye-vape kanye nentuthu evamile ngamanani aphezulu uma kuqhathaniswa nabafundi besikole samabanga aphansi.
Amathuba okubhema ugwayi wendabuko noma ukuwahlanganisa nemishini yokukhipha umoya ayephansi phakathi kwabafundi abakhuthele kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, kungenzeka ukuthi bavume ukuthi basebenzisa ugwayi we-elektroniki kuphela.
"Amathuba amaningi okuphuma emanzini phakathi kwabafundi abakhuthele ngokomzimba abathobela izincomo zokuvivinya umzimba aphakamisa ukukhathazeka ngenkolelo yezempilo kanye nokuzibandakanya emikhubeni engenampilo," kusho uThapa. “Ngifuna ukwabelana ngale datha nezishayamthetho zethu zombuso ukuze bakwazi ukubhekana ngqo nemikhuba eyingozi yokusebenzisa izidakamizwa Osemncane abantu esifundeni sethu bahlanganyela.
“Njengoba i-vaping ikhathaza abafundi bezikole zamabanga aphezulu, sifuna ucwaningo lwethu luqondise lezo zinqubomgomo okuhlanganisa nokukhawula ukumaketha, enqabela i-vaping eduze nezikole, kanye nokushaya imithetho yezinga lesikole ukuze kunqandwe ukuhwamuka kwamanzi.”
