Ubuwazi ukuthi izingane ezivela Ibanga lesi-7 kuya kwelesi-9 lahlukaniswa ngokwezibalo njengababhemayo abakhuthele noma ama-vaper? Kodwa-ke, asikho isidingo sokwethuka njengoba inhlolovo yakamuva eyenziwe yi-California Healthy Kids ikhombisa ukuthi kube nokwehla okumangazayo kwe-vaping yentsha.
Ngokwalolu cwaningo lwango-2021, ukubhema kubafundi bebanga lesi-7 kwehle ngo-50% kusukela ngo-2015. Okungcono nakakhulu ukwehla kwabafundi bebanga lesi-7 nelesi-9 njengoba izinga lokubhema lehle ngo-75% no-71% ngokulandelana. Ikakhulukazi ucwaningo luveze ukuthi u-2% kuphela wabafundi bebanga le-11 kanye no-1% wabafundi bebanga lesi-9 nelesi-7 ababhema kakhulu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngenyanga, intsha yayibhema kanye noma kabili!
Mayelana vaping, inhlolovo yaphawula ukuthi ngo-2015, kwaba nokwanda okumangalisayo kwamacala okukhishwa kwe-vaping phakathi kwentsha. Izibalo ze-vaping zabafundi bebanga lesi-7 zenyuke ngo-7% kanti eze-vaping kubafundi bebanga lesi-9 nabebanga le-11 zikhuphuke ngo-13% no-14% ngokulandelana.
Eminyakeni eyisithupha phansi komugqa nokho, ucwaningo luphawula ukuthi kube nerekhodi eliphansi mayelana ne-vaping yentsha. Ucwaningo luveza ukuthi u-2% kuphela wabafundi bebanga lesi-7, u-10% wabafundi bebanga le-11 kanye no-6% wabafundi bebanga lesi-9 abasebenzisa i-e-cigarette.
Ukwehla kokubhema kanye ne-vaping phakathi kwentsha yaseCalifornia ngokuqinisekile kuye kwaphakamisa amashiya okwenza izinkampani zocwaningo zibe nelukuluku lokwazi imbangela yokwehla. Ngokocwaningo olwenziwa yi-Prevention Research Center ye-Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, uMthetho kaTobacco 21 (T21) wawunakho konke okwenzayo nokuncipha kokubhema kwentsha kanye nokufutha eCalifornia.
Umthetho we-T21 uma uzibuza ukhuphule ubuncane beminyaka yokuthengisa nokusetshenziswa kukagwayi. Abantu abaneminyaka engu-20 nangaphansi babengasavunyelwe ukuthenga ugwayi kuze kube yilapho sebehlanganisa iminyaka engu-21. Lo mthetho ube nomthelela ekunciphiseni ukusetshenziswa kogwayi okungenantuthu kanye ne-e-cigarette kubantu abadala abaneminyaka engu-20 nangaphansi.
Lolu cwaningo luphinde lwaphawula ukuthi kubuye kwehle ukusetshenziswa kogwayi nesidakamizwa se-nicotine eCalifornia. Lokhu kuphinde kudalulwe ekwehleni kwe-vaping phakathi kwentsha njengoba ibhema kakhulu ugwayi kanye nesidakamizwa se-nicotine. Mhlawumbe ukuba namazinga aphansi emithi enjalo emakethe nakho kungaba yisilinganiso amazwe angasisebenzisa uma ebheke ekwehliseni i-vaping.
I-California yenza kahle kakhulu ekulweni ne-vaping yentsha. Futhi uma izinombolo ziyizinto ezidlulayo, i-California ingase ibe phakathi kwezifundazwe zokuqala ukuthola isimo sokungabi namanzi kwentsha kanye nokubhema. Nakuba lokhu kungase kuthathe isikhathi ukufezeka, ukwehla kwamanje kufanele kuphakamise ithemba ezifundazweni zethu nasemazweni alwa nalolu songo olukhona. Osemncane abantu abadala ababhemayo kanye ne-vaping.
Uma ebuzwa izizwe kufanele mhlawumbe ziqoqe futhi zifake izifundo ezivela eCalifornia ukuze ikusasa le Osemncane isizukulwane sivikeleka sibe ngcono. Empeleni, abathengisi kufanele bazi ngemithethonqubo futhi basize ohulumeni ekuyisebenziseni ngoba iyisixhumanisi esiyinhloko phakathi kwentsha kanye nentsha. amadivaysi e-vaping noma kunalokho izinto ezishisayo.
