I-UKVIA iyinhlangano yezohwebo enkulu kunazo zonke emele imboni ye-vaping, eye yaqinisa ikhwelo layo lohlu lwezinyathelo ezinzima zokunciphisa abathengisi abangathembekile abadayisela abantu abasha ama-vape, okuhlanganisa nenhlawulo ye-£ 10k kanye nohlelo lukazwelonke lwamalayisensi okudayisa. Lokhu kuza njenge Ucwaningo I-Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) ithole ukuthi isibalo sezingane ezineminyaka engu-11-17 abavape sikhuphuke sisuka ku-4% ngo-2020 saya ku-7% kulo nyaka.

UMqondisi Jikelele ubike ukuthi i-UKVIA yabhalela uMnyango Wezempilo Nokunakekelwa Komphakathi ukubhekana nenkinga yokufinyelela kwezingane kuma-vapes, iphakamisa iqoqo lezincomo okufanele zehlele kanzima kulabo abathengisa ama-vape ezinganeni kuyilapho begcina indima ebalulekile ye-vaping ekusizeni. ababhemayo ukuthi bayeke. Izincomo eziphakanyisiwe zihlanganisa:
- Ukwethulwa kwelayisensi noma isikimu esigunyaziwe somdayisi kanye nomsabalalisi ngokuhambisana ne-e-cigarettes yase-UK imithethonqubo lapho abathengisi be-vape kokubili ku-inthanethi nasesitolo kanye nabasabalalisi ohlelweni bezokhokha imali, babambelele emikhubeni yokuqinisekisa yobudala eqinile futhi benze leyo mikhiqizo abayithengisayo yomibili baziswe ne-Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) kanye nezikhalazo Ukwahlukanisa, Umthetho Wokulebula, Nokupakishwa (CLP).
- Ukunikeza izinhlawulo ezikhuphukile okungenani ze-£10,000 ngesibonelo ngasinye kubahwebi abephula umthetho wase-UK. Uma kwenzeka kukhishwa izinhlawulo ezimbili, umthengisi uzolahlekelwa isimo sakhe 'somthengisi ogunyaziwe' njengoba kubonakala lapha
- Khomisha uhlelo lokuthenga lokuhlola lukazwelonke olufana nalolo i-UKVIA eluqhuba kumalungu ayo ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi yonke imisebenzi isebenza ngezinga eliphezulu uma kuziwa ekuvimbeleni intsha ukufinyelela ku-e-cigarette.

- Siqinisekise Amazinga Okuhweba zinikezwa izinsiza ezisebenzayo, ukuze ikwazi ukuqasha futhi iqeqeshe izikhulu, ilahle imikhiqizo engekho emthethweni, futhi iqinisekise ukuthi izenzo zayo ziyisivimbelo esisebenzayo kubadlali abakhohlakele kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka. Uxhaso olunjalo luzotholwa ohlelweni oluhlongozwayo lwamalayisense futhi ekugcineni, ezinhlawulo ezikhishwe ngokuhweba ngokungemthetho.
- Yamukela emthethweni imihlahlandlela ye-UKVIA yokupakishwa, ilebula namagama e-flavour ukuze kuvinjelwe ukwenziwa kwebhrendi okukhanga ngokungaqondile kwabangabhemi noma abangaphansi kweminyaka engu-18. Le mihlahlandlela ibonisa izincomo ezivela ku Khan Review.

Umqondisi-Jikelele u-John Dunne we-UKVIA uphethe ngokuthi lezi zenzo zihlangene zizosiza ukufeza indima ebalulekile isibuyekezo sikaKhan esisanda kushicilelwa esibona isigaba sokwenza ukubhema kuphelelwe yisikhathi ngendlela enomthwalo wemfanelo.
Amalungu asebenza ngokuqinile emithethweni yokuhlinzeka nokupakisha, ukulebula, nemihlahlandlela yamagama e-flavour, kodwa kudingeka okwengeziwe ukuze abekezelele abadayisi abangekho emthethweni abangaphandle kwamalungu aphula umthetho futhi abanokungabaza ngokuthengisela izingane ama-vapes. Ungalenzi iphutha, izindaba zokufinyelela kwentsha ku-vaping zihlala ziqinile nabahwebi abangathembekile abajabulela ukuthengisela izingane.
