“Yonke imihla i-vaping inokuba yile nto yayiyiyo kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo,” utshilo uBen Youdan, umcebisi kumgaqo-nkqubo we-ASH.“Kudala sabona amanani abantu abatshayayo.”
Iinkcukacha zisisiphumo sophando lwe-ASH lweminyaka eli-10 lwesnapshot, olubuze malunga nama-30,000 olutsha oluphakathi kweminyaka eli-14 kunye ne-15 malunga namava abo okutshaya nokufutha.
Uphando lubonisa ukuba i-61% yabafundi bebanga le-10 abahamba nge-vape yonke imihla abazange batshaye.U-Youdan uthe abanye banokusebenzisa i-e-cigarettes ukunceda ukuyeka ukutshaya, bephikisana nokuba ayinabungozi kunokutshaya.
“Sinomsantsa omkhulu eNew Zealand ekuboneleleni abantwana ngomthombo olungileyo, ongaguqukiyo, ohloniphekileyo, okhuselekileyo wolwazi malunga nokuba kuqhubeka ntoni ngevaping kuba bahlaselwe lulwazi olubhidayo malunga nokufutha.”
Nangona kunjalo, uyazi kakuhle ukuba i-ASH ithatha i-e-cigarettes njengenye indlela engcono yokutshaya kwaye njengesixhobo sokunceda abantu bayeke, ngokubhekiselele kuhlaziyo oluzimeleyo olupapashwe yi-Public Health England kwi-2015 eqikelela ukuba i-e-cigarettes iyingozi ngaphezu ukutshaya 95% ngaphantsi.

IiNdawo Ezingatshayiyo kunye neeMveliso eziLawulwayo (i-E-Cigarettes) zowama-2020 zilawula indlela i-e-cigarettes ethengiswa ngayo kwaye ithengiswe ngayo.Nangona kunjalo, u-Youdan uthe kukho imida ukuba lo mthetho unokufikelela ntoni, njengoko uphando lubonisa ukuba abafundi bafumana i-e-cigarettes kubalingane babo nakubantu abadala.
"Kufuneka sibe nencoko entsonkothileyo malunga nokuba abantu abancinci baphola phi, kuqhubeka ntoni ngale meko yentlalontle, kwaye sibaxhobise ngezakhono zokuthatha izigqibo ezifanelekileyo malunga nokungazami le nto, bangabi likhoboka layo."Watsho uYodan.
Umlawuli wezonyango kwiCancer Society uGeorge Lake uthe uya kumangaliswa ukuba kukho iziphumo ezibi zezempilo kwixesha elide kwiivaper.Nangona kunjalo, ucebisa ukufunxa kuphela njengenye indlela yokutshaya.

"Ungasuka kwi-vaping uye kwi-vaping, okanye ungasuka kwi-vaping uye kwi-vaping, kuba ngokwembono yomntu ophakathi, yindlela yokufumana inikotini."
Uxoxa ngelithi umgaqo-nkqubo woluntu umisela ukuba umntu uyatshintsha na ukusuka kwi-vaping ukuya ekutshayeni kwaye ngokuphambanayo.
Ubalula ukunyuka kokusetyenziswa kwe-e-cigarette nokuba nezinto ezininzi onokuzikhathaza ngazo.
“Ngaba baza kuba nezindlu zokuhlala?Ngaba baya kuba nemisebenzi?Kuza kwenzeka ntoni kutshintsho lwemozulu?”
