“NGUBANI OGCINE ESOYIKA NGEVAPE”

Njengaminyaka yonke ngexesha loSuku lweHlabathi lweCuba, i-WHO inxibelelana neengcebiso zayo zokulwa nokutshaya. Kulo nyaka inxalenye enkulu ye mazwi ixhomekeke kwi vape.

I-WHO ayichananga ngokuthi icuba le-elektroniki asiyondlela yokuyeka ukutshaya. Uphononongo olwenziwe ngo-2019 yi-Arhente yeSizwe yezeMpilo yoLuntu, ekwabizwa ngokuba yiPublic Health France, yabonisa ukuba eFransi, abantu abangama-700.000 bayekile ukutshaya ngenxa yokuphunga. IBhunga eliPhakamileyo lezeMpilo yoLuntu (HCSP) liwuthathela ingqalelo lo mphunga "inokuthathwa njengoncedo lokuyeka". Kwiminyaka eyi-10, amava entsimi esiwaqokelela yonke imihla kunye nabathengi bethu ahamba kwicala elinye ... kwaye ke, njengeengcali, asinalo ilungelo lokutsho ukuba i-vape inceda ukuyeka ukutshaya.

I-WHO ayilunganga xa isithi ishishini lecuba lisemva kwevape. EFransi, iivenkile ezikhethekileyo kunye nabavelisi bonke bazimele geqe kwishishini lecuba. Icandelo laseFransi lidibene malunga ne-FIVAPE, umbutho ozimeleyo apho abadlali becuba bangenakuzibandakanya.

I-WHO ayilunganga xa ichaza ukuba iincasa zenziwe ukutsala abantu abatsha. Ukwahlukana kwevumba elimnandi kwenza abathengi bangabikho ecubeni. Oku kungenxa yokuba bayakwazi i-vape fruity, gourmet, amavumba amatsha,…. ukuba bakwazi ukuxhathisa iidemon zabo ezitshayayo. Ukongezelela, ukuthengiswa kwe-cigarettes ye-elektroniki kubantwana kuvunyelwe eFransi: abadlali beemarike baqaphele kakhulu kulo mbandela.

I-WHO ayichananga ngokuthi xa uvapa, awukayeki ukutshaya. Ngevape akukho tar, ikharbon monokside, ukutsha,… Ukuba uyayeka ukutshaya, uyayeka ukutshaya. Ukuthetha okwahlukileyo kufana nobuxoki obungenasihlahla.

I-WHO ayilunganga ngokubanga ukuba umphunga ubangela isifo sentliziyo nemiphunga. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, alukho uphando oluzimeleyo oluye lwafikelela ezi zigqibo, ngaphandle kwabambalwa abatoliko lwabo lukhutshwe ngokukhawuleza luluntu lwezenzululwazi: uninzi lwezinto ezingaqhelekanga zenza ukuba iiprothokholi zovavanyo zingasebenzi ezingamelanga ukusetyenziswa kwevape.

Ngokungayekeleli kunye nolwazi olungelulo, i-WHO igcina uloyiko olujikeleze i-vape, kwaye ngala mathandabuzo angenasiseko, ahlutha izigidi zabantu abatshayayo isixhobo esixabisekileyo. Njengesikhumbuzo, icuba lisafa abantu abangama-75.000 ngonyaka eFransi. Imigaqo-nkqubo yokuchasa umphunga idlala nje kwishishini lecuba ngeendleko zempilo yoluntu.
