Ukubhema kungenye yezimbangela eziphambili zezifo emhlabeni. Ngo-2019 cishe abayizigidi ezingu-8.7 abafa emhlabeni wonke kwakuhlobene nokubhema. Lokhu kungaphezulu kakhulu kwesibalo sabantu abashonile abaxhumene ne-COVID-19 ngonyaka owodwa.
Iningi lalokhu kufa kwenzeka kubantu abahola kancane. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi iningi labantu abahlala ezindaweni ezimpofu okungenzeka ukuthi ngibheme. E-UK, labo abahlala ezindaweni ezimpofu kakhulu zezwe baphila iminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye ngaphansi kwalabo abahlala ezindaweni ezicebile. Ukubhema kungomunye womehluko oyinhloko weminyaka yokuphila kulaba bantu.
Ukubhema kungase kudale umonakalo omkhulu ezimalini zomuntu obhemayo. Umuntu obhemayo e-UK uchitha cishe u-£2,300 ngonyaka kugwayi kuphela. Kulabo abahola kancane, lokhu cishe ku-10% noma ngaphezulu kwensalela yabo engenayo. Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ukubhema kukodwa kucindezela kakhulu ababhemayo abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1.3 baba mpofu e-UK kuphela. Ngasohlangothini, uhulumeni yenza cishe u-£15 billion ngonyaka kusukela ekuthengisweni kwemikhiqizo kagwayi. Nokho wona lowo hulumeni unciphise izindleko ekusizeni abantu ababhemayo cishe ngama-75% kule minyaka eyishumi edlule kuphela.
Kungenxa yalokhu okwenza u-Javed Khan OBE wajutshwa ihhovisi le-Health Improvement and Diparity ukuthi enze isibuyekezo sohlelo lukahulumeni ukwenza i-England ibheme mahhala ekupheleni kweminyaka eyishumi (2030). Umbiko oyingqopha-mlando osanda kukhishwa uveze ukungenelela okufanele kuthathwe uhulumeni ukuze kwehliswe ugwayi kanye nokunqanda ukujwayela okusha kwalo mkhuba.
Ezinye zezinyathelo ezibalulekile uhulumeni okuke kwaphikiswana ngazo ukuthi azithathe ukukhulisa iminyaka yokubhema ibe yiminyaka engama-21. Nakuba kunjalo bekulindeleke ukuthi ongqongqoshe bazokwenqaba lesi siphakamiso, izilinganiso zibonisa ukuthi ukukhulisa iminyaka yokubhema kuzonciphisa inani lababhemayo ezweni abaneminyaka engu-18-20 kusukela kwabamanje abangu-364,000 255,000 kuya kwabangaba ngu-XNUMX XNUMX onyakeni wokuqala kuphela. Lo mthetho uzokwenza ngaleso sikhathi ukuvimbela ezinye ezingu-18,000 ngonyaka kungaba ababhemayo ekubeni sebewuqalile lo mkhuba. Lokhu kuzosiza kakhulu ekwenzeni i-England ibe izwe elingabhemi.
Umbono wokukhulisa iminyaka yokubhema usekelwa ucwaningo oluvela kwamanye amazwe olukhombisa ukuthi kuyimpumelelo enkulu. Isibonelo, uhulumeni wobumbano wase-United States wasungula imithetho ye-T21 ngo-2019 eyaphakamisa ubuncane beminyaka yobudala ukuthenga imikhiqizo kagwayi iminyaka engu-21.
Idatha evela ezweni iyaboniswa ukuthi le mithethonqubo yehlise izinga lokubhenywa kwentsha ngama-30%. Ukwenza kube nzima ku- Osemncane ukuthola ugwayi kungabasiza ukuba bagweme ukubhema futhi bagcine bengawutholi umkhuba.
Ukuhlanganisa imibono efana nokukhuphula ubuncane beminyaka yokubhema nokwenza ugwayi we-elekthronikhi utholakale kalula kungasiza ukunciphisa inani lababhemayo abakhona futhi kumise abasha. Ubufakazi besayensi bubonisa ukuthi ama-e-cigarettes awusizo ekusizeni ababhemayo ukuba bayeke. Ugwayi we-elekthronikhi unikeza abantu ababhemayo umuzwa ojwayelekile obenza bakwazi ukushintsha kalula ukubhema futhi ekugcineni bayeke. Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi ukushintshela kugwayi we-elekthronikhi kusindisa izimpilo ezifika esigidini ngonyaka. Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi uhulumeni enze okuthile futhi enze ukufinyelela kwale mikhiqizo kube lula kwababhemayo.
