Ngokutsho kophando olutsha lwe-American Cancer Society, i-cigarettes eqhelekileyo iya kubiza ngaphantsi kwe-e-cigarettes ngomlinganiselo olinganayo kwisampuli ye-44 kumazwe angama-45 akhethiweyo emhlabeni jikelele. Olu pho nonongo, olubonisa kuLawulo lweCuba, lukwazile ukugqiba ukuba i-gap ikhona nangona i-e-cigarettes ayinayo irhafu yerhafu efaniswa necuba.
Kodwa lumka, ukuba ngoku i-e-cigarettes ine-advanteji kwi-cigarettes eqhelekileyo erhafiswa kakhulu, ezinye izazinzulu kunye namajelo eendaba ziye zabiza ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuba oku kutshintshe. Nangona kunjalo, la mabango akabonakali ngathi asekwe kwidatha yexabiso elibonakalayo. Ngokutsho kwabaphandi, ubukho bonke bala mabango bunokubangela ukuba abanye abenzi bezigqibo bacinge ngokumisela irhafu kwi-cigarettes ye-elektroniki ngaphandle kokuqwalasela ulwazi oluthile oluthile.
Abaphandi kolu phando bakhokelwa ngu Alex Liber de Umbutho womhlaza waseMelika kunye neYunivesithi yaseMichigan yeSikole seMpilo yoLuntu ithelekisa iindleko zecuba eziqhelekileyo kwiindleko zeentlobo ezimbini ezinkulu ze-e-cigarettes: I-e-cigarettes elahlayo (engenakuzaliswa) kunye ne-e-cigarette etshajiweyo enokuthi ifakwe kwakhona nge-e-liquids.
Uphononongo lufumanise ukuba, ngokomyinge, i ixabiso lepakethi eqhelekileyo yecuba ($5,00) ixabiso kancinci ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sexabiso le-e-cigarette elahlwayo ($8,50). Kwakhona kwafunyaniswa ukuba nangona 
ukuba i-nicotine e-liquids esetyenziselwa ukugcwalisa i-e-cigarettes inokubiza iidola ezimbalwa ngaphantsi kwepakethi yecuba eziqhelekileyo, ixabiso elincinci xa kuthengwa ikhithi ye-e-cigarette ezalisekayo ukusebenzisa le e-liquid. ingaphezulu kwe-$20. Ngokubhekiselele kwi-e-cigarettes etshajwayo ekhethwa yinxalenye enkulu yee-vapers, ixabiso labo libaluleke ngakumbi.
Ababhali baqaphela ukuba kukho ingxoxo enkulu kuluntu lwezempilo yoluntu kunye neendaba malunga ne-e-cigarettes. Nangona abanye bakholelwa ukuba i-e-cigarettes inendima enokubakho ekuncedeni abantu abatshayayo ukuba bayeke ukutshaya, abanye babhekisela kwiinkxalabo ezinzulu malunga nefuthe lesango lolutsha, ukungabikho kolwazi malunga nobungozi obunokwenzeka, ukungabikho kokulawulwa kwemveliso kunye neendlela zorhwebo zorhwebo.
Phakathi kwabo bakholelwa ukuba i-e-cigarettes inokunciphisa ukufa kunye nezifo ezinxulumene necuba, abanye bathi ukuhlukana kwexabiso phakathi kwe-cigarettes eqhelekileyo kunye ne-e-cigarettes kunokunceda ababhemayo bangoku baguqulele kwii-vapers. Olu xwebhu lumisela phakathi kwezinye izinto ukuba umahluko wexabiso phakathi kwecuba kunye ne-e-cigarette sele ukhona, kodwa okwangoku i-e-cigarette yeyona mveliso ibiza kakhulu.
Ababhali abaphononongayo baqinisekisa ukubaluleka kokunyusa ixabiso le-cigarettes ngeerhafu ze-excise kodwa bacebisa ukuba indlela yokuhlawula i-e-cigarettes inzima. Eminye imimandla emhlabeni jikelele, kubandakanywa ne-UK, sele iphumelele ukulingana kwexabiso phakathi kwecuba kunye ne-e-cigarettes. Ngoku kusaza kubonakala ukuba lo mgaqo-nkqubo utshintsha njani ukusetyenziswa kwezi mveliso zimbini e-UK nakwilizwe liphela.
Nceda uqaphele ukuba izimvo ezichazwe kolu phononongo azikho izikhundla zomgaqo-nkqubo osemthethweni we-American Cancer Society.
