Ucwaningo olusha olusanda kushicilelwa ku I-American Journal of Medicine Prevention ibonisa ukuthi ubuhlanga kanye nokuthambekela kobulili kuyizici ezibalulekile ekunqumeni ukusabalala kwe ukusetshenziswa kwe-e-cigarette entsheni e-United States. Ukuhlaziya idatha eqoqwe phakathi kuka-2015 no-2019 kubafundi besikole samabanga aphezulu abangaphezu kuka-38,000 e-United States yonkana, ucwaningo lwathola ukuthi umehluko ngobuhlanga, ubuzwe kanye nokuthambekela kobulili kunomthelela emathubeni okuthi intsha ivuthe.
Ucwaningo lwangaphambilini lulinganisela ukuthi cishe uhhafu wabafundi basezikoleni zamabanga aphezulu ezweni bake bazama i-vaping okungenani kanye. Ngesikhathi esifanayo cishe ingxenye yesithathu yayo yonke intsha ezweni eliye yazama i-vaping isebenzisa i-e-cigarettes njalo. Ngokusho kweCDC, isibalo sabafundi bezikole zamabanga aphezulu abasebenzisa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi sikhule ngaphezu kuka-1000% ngo-2020 saya ku-26.5% sisuka ku-2.4% ngo-2019.
Inkinga ngalezi zibalo ukuthi i-nicotine etholakala emikhiqizweni kagwayi okuhlanganisa ne-e-cigarette iyalutha kakhulu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uma intsha izama ugwayi we-elekthronikhi, ingalutheka kalula kule mikhiqizo futhi ibe senkingeni. ingozi enkulu yokuba ababhemayo abavamile. Yilokhu okwazise abacwaningi ukuthi babheke kabanzi inkinga ye-vaping futhi bahlonze izinto eziyingozi emaqenjini ahlukene entsha.
Ucwaningo olwenziwe nguJuhan Lee osebenza naye e-Yale University School of Medicine kanye noprofesa we-Annenberg School for Communications u-Andy Tan babheke ukugcwalisa ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana "nokusabalala kwe-vaping phakathi." Osemncane abantu ezimpambanweni zomazisi obuncane obungaphezu kokukodwa”. Ngokuvumelana nomgomo walo ucwaningo lunikeze okutholakele okubalulekile ekusakazweni kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi phakathi kwentsha ethanda ubulili obuhlukile kanye nentsha ethandana nobulili obufanayo uma kuqhathaniswa namaqembu ezinhlanga ezahlukene.
Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi ugwayi we-elekhthronikhi wawudlangile emantombazaneni abesilisa abathandana nabanye abantu abamnyama (18.2%) kunamantombazane amnyama athanda ubulili obuhlukile (7.1%). Ngokufanayo, ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi ka-elekthronikhi kwakudlange kakhulu emantombazaneni abesilisa nabesifazane abaxube izinhlanga (17.9%) kunamantombazane axube izinhlanga (11.9%). Kodwa-ke, ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi phakathi kwamantombazane athandana namanye amhlophe kwakuphansi (9.1%) kunaphakathi kwamantombazane amhlophe athanda ubulili obuhlukile (16.1%). Kwakungekho mehluko omkhulu phakathi kwamaqembu ahlukene abafana.
Lokhu okutholakele kubonakala kuvumelana nezifundo zangaphambilini ezabonisa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwe-e-cigarette kwakuphakeme phakathi kwama-lesbians. Kukholakala ukuthi basebenzisa imikhiqizo ye-e-cigarette njengendlela yokubhekana nengcindezi ehlobene nokuthambekela kwabo kwezocansi. Ngokuvamile, intsha engongqingili ibhekana nokucindezeleka okwengeziwe emphakathini. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi bayabandlululwa noma bayaxhashazwa.
Kukhona futhi umehluko obonakalayo phakathi kwamazinga okuvama phakathi kwabafana namantombazane. Kunomehluko omkhulu phakathi kwamantombazane nabafana. Ababhali balolu cwaningo bakholelwa ukuthi kungenxa yokumakethwa kwemikhiqizo kagwayi ye-e-cigarette eqondiswe kubantu besifazane abayizixhwanguxhwangu. Izifundo ezedlule bonisa ukuthi abesifazane abamnyama nabama-Hispanic abathanda ubulili obubili babika ukuchayeka okuphezulu ezikhangisweni zomkhiqizo kagwayi kunabesifazane abamhlophe abathanda ubulili obuhlukile. Tan omunye wababhali balokhu kuhlola uthi “Sekuyiminyaka imboni kagwayi igxile ekukhangiseni emaqenjini abandlululwa ngokwesiko, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusezindaweni zamakilabhu, ezindaweni zokucima ukoma, izenzakalo ze-Pride, noma ngomagazini.” Uthemba ukuthi lokhu okutholwe yilolu cwaningo kuzosetshenziswa njengesisekelo sokuqhuba izifundo ezizosiza ekuxazululeni izinkinga ezithinta ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi entsheni.
