Imibukiso Emisha Yocwaningo: I-E-cigarettes Ingase Yengeze Izinga Lempumelelo Yokuyeka Ukubhema ngo-76%

Ngokombiko wakamuva weForbes,ugwayi electronicingasiza ekuyekeni ukubhema, ngemiphumela eyedlula leyo yezindlela zendabuko. Imiphumela yokuhlolwa yakamuva eshicilelwe ku-Emergency Medicine Journal ibonisa ukuthi phakathi kwababhemayo abangaba ngu-1000 emakamelweni ayisithupha aphuthumayo esibhedlela sase-UK, labo abanikezwa ugwayi we-electronic babevame ukuyeka ukubhema kunalabo abathola isiqondiso esibhaliwe kuphela "ngezinsizakalo zokuyeka ukubhema." Izinga lokuphumelela kwabamukeli bakagwayi we-elekthronikhi laliphezulu ngo-76%.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ucwaningo olwanyatheliswa kuyi-Emergency Medicine Journal lubike ukuthi abantu abanikezwe ugwayi we-electronic wamahhala kungenzeka ukuthi bayeke ukubhema uma kuqhathaniswa nalabo abathola kuphela izinto zokukhangisa ezisekelwe ephepheni. Ukuqulwa kwecala, okwenziwa phakathi kwababhemayo abacishe babe ngu-1000 emagumbini aphuthumayo ezibhedlela eziyisithupha zase-UK, kutholwe ukuthi abamukela ugwayi we-elekthronikhi babenethuba elingama-76% lokuyeka ukubhema.

Ngaphezu kokuhlinzeka ngamakhithi e-e-cigarette aqalayo, abacwaningi baphinde banikeza iseluleko sokuyeka ukubhema kubahlanganyeli futhi babaqondisa "ezinsizakalweni zokuyeka ukubhema." Njengeqembu elilawulayo, abanye abantu bathole iseluleko esibhaliwe kuphela mayelana "nezinsizakalo zokuyeka ukubhema." Imiphumela yocwaningo yembule ukuthi cishe ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yabamukeli bakagwayi we-elekthronikhi babike ukuthi bayeka ukubhema ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisithupha, ngokuphawulekayo ngaphezu kwe-13% eqenjini lokulawula.

Ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi ngisho naphakathi kwabantu abathola ugwayi we-elekthronikhi kodwa abazange bayeke ukubhema, kungenzeka ukuthi bazame ukuyeka ukubhema uma kuqhathaniswa neqembu elilawulayo. Ugwayi wabo wansuku zonke nawo ubephansi kunalokho obekubikwe ngawo ekuqaleni. Amazinga okugcina okuyeka ukubhema kuwo womabili amaqembu abephansi uma kuqhathaniswa, nesilinganiso esingu-7.2% sabamukeli bakagwayi we-electronic kanye no-4.1% weqembu elilawulayo, njengoba kuqinisekiswe ukuhlolwa kokuphefumula kwe-carbon monoxide.

Ngaphandle kokuba khona kwezingozi ezithile, ugwayi we-elekthronikhi udala umonakalo omncane kakhulu uma uqhathaniswa nokubhema. UCaitlin Notley, umcwaningi kanye nomcwaningi ohamba naye e-University of East Anglia, esitatimendeni uthe, "Siyazi ukuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi awuyingozi kakhulu kunokubhema ugwayi futhi uboniswe ukusiza ababhemayo ukuba bayeke."

U-Ian Pope, omunye umcwaningi eNyuvesi yase-East Anglia, uthe, "Ngo-2019, ukubhema kwabangela ukufa kwabantu abangaba ngu-75,000 e-UK, okwenza kube imbangela ehamba phambili yokufa nezifo ezigwemekayo ezweni. Ukushintshela kugwayi we-electronic kungasindisa izinkulungwane zabantu." Ithimba likholelwa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kabanzi kohlelo lwabo kungasiza abantu abangaphezu kuka-22,000 ukuba bayeke ukubhema minyaka yonke.

Ngaphezu kokusekela ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi njengethuluzi lokuyeka ukubhema, lolu cwaningo luphinde lwabonisa ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukungenelela emakamelweni aphuthumayo esibhedlela. UPapa uthe, "Iminyango yezimo eziphuthumayo inikeza ithuba labo okungenzeka bangabi naso isisusa sokuyeka ukubhema noma abangenalo ulwazi noma izinsiza zokufinyelela 'izinkonzo zokuyeka ukubhema'." Iningi labahlanganyeli bocwaningo lalihlala ezindaweni ezimpofu, kunabantu abaningi abangasebenzi noma abangakwazi ukusebenza ngenxa yokugula noma ukukhubazeka, ngakho-ke izinyathelo ezinjalo zingasiza amaqembu amaningi ancishwe amathuba.

U-Leon Shahab, umqondisi weQembu Lokucwaninga Ngogwayi Notshwala e-University College London, uluncomile lolu cwaningo, elubheka njengendlela yokufeza "ukungenelela okufushane" okungase "kusetshenziswe kalula ngaphakathi kwezinsizakalo zokunakekelwa kwezempilo ezikhona ukuze kusetshenziswe isikhathi sokulinda." Lo mcwaningi, ongabandakanyeki ocwaningweni, esitatimendeni uthe le ndlela ingase ibe nomthelela omuhle ekwehliseni ukungalingani kwezempilo.
