Imiboniso yeSifundo esitsha: I-E-cigarettes inokonyusa izinga leMpumelelo yokuyeka ukutshaya ngama-76%.

Ngokwengxelo yakutshanje yeForbes,icuba ze-elektronikiinokunceda ekuyekeni ukutshaya, ngeziphumo ezodlula ezo zeendlela zakwantu. Iziphumo zovavanyo zamva nje ezipapashwe kwi-Emergency Medicine Journal zibonisa ukuba phakathi kwabantu abaphantse babe yi-1000 ababhemayo kumagumbi amathandathu esibhedlele sase-UK ezingxamisekileyo, abo banikwe i-cigarettes ye-elektroniki banokuthi bayeke ukutshaya kunabo bafumana kuphela isikhokelo esibhaliweyo "kwiinkonzo zokuyeka ukutshaya." Izinga lempumelelo yabafumana imidiza ye-elektroniki lalingama-76% ngaphezulu.

Ngaphezu koko, uphando olupapashwe kwi-Emergency Medicine Journal yabika ukuba abantu ababonelelwe nge-cigarettes ye-elektroniki yamahhala banokuthi bayeke ukutshaya xa kuthelekiswa nalabo bafumana kuphela izinto zokukhangisa ezisekelwe ephepheni. Ulingo, olwenziwa phakathi kwabatshayayo abasondele kwi-1000 kumagumbi angxamisekileyo kwizibhedlele ezithandathu zase-UK, bafumanisa ukuba abafumana icuba ze-elektroniki bane-76% yokunyuka kwamathuba okuyeka ukutshaya.

Ngaphandle kokubonelela ngeekiti ze-e-cigarette eziqalayo, abaphandi banikezela ngeengcebiso zokuyeka ukutshaya kubathathi-nxaxheba kwaye babaqondise "kwiinkonzo zokuyeka ukutshaya." Njengeqela lolawulo, abanye abantu bafumana kuphela iingcebiso ezibhaliweyo malunga "neenkonzo zokuyeka ukutshaya." Iziphumo zophando zibonise ukuba phantse ikota enye yabafumana icuba ze-elektroniki babika ukuyeka ukutshaya emva kweenyanga ezintandathu, kakhulu ngaphezu kwe-13% kwiqela lolawulo.

Uphononongo lubonise ngakumbi ukuba naphakathi kwabantu abafumana i-cigarettes ye-elektroniki kodwa abazange bayeke ukutshaya, banokuthi bazame ukuyeka ukutshaya xa kuthelekiswa neqela lokulawula. Usetyenziso lwabo lwemidiza yemihla ngemihla lube lusezantsi kunoko bekuxelwe ekuqaleni. Amazinga okugqibela okuphelisa ukutshaya kumaqela omabini ayephantsi, kunye nomlinganiselo we-7.2% kubamkeli be-cigarettes ye-elektroniki kunye ne-4.1% yeqela lokulawula, njengoko kuqinisekiswe yi-carbon monoxide yokuphefumula.

Ngaphandle kobukho bemingcipheko ethile, imidiza ye-elektroniki yenza umonakalo omncinci kakhulu xa ithelekiswa nokutshaya. UCaitlin Notley, umphandi odibeneyo kunye nomphandi kwiYunivesithi yase-East Anglia, wathi kwingxelo, "Siyazi ukuba i-cigarettes ye-elektroniki ayinabungozi kakhulu kunokutshaya icuba kwaye ibonakaliswe ukunceda ababhemayo ukuba bayeke."

U-Ian Pope, omnye umphandi kwiYunivesithi yase-East Anglia, wathi, "Ngo-2019, ukutshaya kubangele ukufa kwabantu abaphantse babe ngama-75,000 e-UK, okwenza kube yimbangela ehamba phambili yokufa okukhuselekayo kunye nezifo kweli lizwe. Ukutshintshela kwi-cigarettes ye-elektroniki kunokusindisa amawaka abantu." Iqela likholelwa ukuba ukuphunyezwa ngokubanzi kwesicwangciso sabo kunokunceda abantu abangaphezu kwama-22,000 ukuba bayeke ukutshaya ngonyaka.

Ukongezelela ekuxhaseni ukusetyenziswa kwe-cigarettes ye-elektroniki njengesixhobo sokuyeka ukutshaya, uvavanyo luphinde lwabonisa ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba ungenelelo kumagumbi ongxamiseko esibhedlele. UPope uthe, “Amasebe angxamisekileyo anika ithuba kwabo basenokungabi namdla wokuyeka ukutshaya okanye bangabi nalwazi okanye izixhobo zokufikelela ‘kwiinkonzo zokuyeka ukutshaya’. Uninzi lwabathathi-nxaxheba bolingo babehlala kwiindawo ezihlwempuzekileyo, nabantu abaninzi abangaphangeliyo okanye abangakwaziyo ukusebenza ngenxa yokugula okanye ukukhubazeka, ngoko ke amanyathelo anjalo anokunceda amaqela ahlelelekileyo ngakumbi.

ULeon Shahab, u-co-director weQela loPhando lweCuba kunye noTywala kwiYunivesithi yaseLondon yaseLondon, wancoma isifundo, ecinga ukuba yindlela yokufikelela "ukungenelela okufutshane" okunokuthi "kuphunyezwe ngokulula kwiinkonzo zempilo ezikhoyo ukuze kusetyenziswe ixesha lokulinda." Lo mphandi, ongabandakanyekanga kulingo, uchazwe kwingxelo yokuba le ndlela ingaba nefuthe elihle ekunciphiseni ukungalingani kwezempilo.
