Zonke izinsuku ziyithuba lokwenza umhlaba ube indawo engcono kanye ne-Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), alukho usuku olungahambisana nalesi sisho ngaphandle komhlaka-1 Okthoba 2021. Ngalolu suku, i-TGA yethule i-nicotine entsha. i-e-liquid umthethonqubo. Inhloso yalo mgomo bekungekona nje kuphela ukunciphisa umthamo we-vaping entsheni kodwa ngokulinganayo ukukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwe-nicotine vaping enqunyiwe kubantu abadala. Ukuthi inqubomgomo ibisebenza noma cha, yilokho esigxila kukho esihlokweni sethu namuhla.
Ngokuka-Nancy Loucas, uchwepheshe owaziwayo Wokuncishiswa Kokulimaza Ugwayi (THR) kanye NoMxhumanisi Omkhulu ku-Coalition of Asia Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction Advocates (CAPHRA), umbuso wase-Australia omelene nomphunga ufana nokwehluleka kwenqubomgomo. Amazwi akhe asekelwa umbiko oshicilelwe nguDkt. Colin Mendelsohn oveza ukuthi ngemuva konyaka kwethulwe i-nicotine. i-e-liquid regulation, i vaping isiko e-Australia alikabi ngcono. Lokhu kungenxa yemiphumela esukile ngenxa yenqubomgomo yokulwa nokuqhuma kwe-vaping ezweni.
Okokuqala nje, intsha ngenxa yesimo sokuthi isivele iluthwe yi-vaping kanye nezinselelo ebhekana nazo ngesikhathi izama ukuhoxa esenzweni, ithole izinyathelo zokuqhubeka nokukhipha umphunga ngaphandle kwencwadi kadokotela. Lokhu kwenzeke ngokwethula izimakethe zabamnyama. Izimakethe zabamnyama zivumele intsha ukuthi izitholele isidakamizwa kalula nangemali eshibhile okwenza isiko lokushushuluza libe libi kakhulu njengoba intsha isiwuthola ngendlela engaphephile okubeka impilo yayo kanye nempilo yayo engcupheni.
Okwesibili, ngeke siphike ukuthi sihamba ngezikhathi ezinzima kwezomnotho. Ngaphandle kolwazi lwalokhu, intengo yokuthengisa ye-vaping enqunyiwe ihlala iphezulu uma kuqhathaniswa. Ngalokhu, abantu abadala bashiywe bengenakho ukukhetha ngaphandle kokukhosela kuma-vapes athengiswa ezimakethe ezimnyama. Isenzo sabo asigqugquzelwa ukuthi ama-vape emakethe emnyama anezindleko eziphansi kodwa futhi ngenxa yokuthi ama-vapes kulezi zimakethe kulula ukuwathola nokuwafinyelela.
Ngokufana noNancy Loucas noDkt. Mendelsohn, ngakho-ke kuphephile ukuphetha ngokuthi i-nicotine i-e-liquid ukulawulwa kube ukwehluleka emphakathini wase-Australia. Kodwa-ke, kunezinyathelo ezingase zibekwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi umthethonqubo usebenza ngendlela obuhloswe ngayo. Okokuqala nokubalulekile, uhulumeni angasungula izindlela zokuqeda imakethe emnyama. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi yisiteshi esisetshenziswayo ukufinyelela isidakamizwa esingekho emthethweni. Ukwengeza kulokhu, kufanele kwethulwe futhi kusetshenziswe izinyathelo ezinzima ukuze labo abaqhuba izimakethe ezimnyama bathengelwe izincwadi. Empeleni, uhulumeni angathola nendlela yokulawula izindleko zama-vapes anqunyiwe ukuze avumele ukuthi athengwe abantu bazo zonke izigaba kalula.
Noma ngabe yikuphi, kuningi uhulumeni akwenzile ukuvala isiko lokushushuluza elingekho emthethweni futhi uma kubekwa iziqondiso ezifanele imithelela yemizamo yabo izobonakala futhi izwakale kakhulu.
