EIreland, kulandela ingxelo yeProjekthi yeZikolo zase-Irish yaseYurophu kuTywala kunye nezinye iziYobisi (ESPAD), urhulumente unokumisela umthetho oyilwayo othintela ukufikelela kwi-e-cigarettes kubantu abatsha.
I-39% yabafundi basebenzise i-E-Cigarette!
UMphathiswa kaRhulumente wezeMpilo yoLuntu, iNtlalontle kunye neSicwangciso seSizwe seZiyobisi, UFrank Feighan , namhlanje sinike ingxelo ye-Irish European Schools Alcohol Project 
kunye namanye amachiza (ESPAD). I-ESPAD luphando lwaseYurophu oluqhutywa rhoqo emva kweminyaka emine kusetyenziso lweziyobisi phakathi kwabafundi abaneminyaka eli-15 kunye ne-16 ubudala kumazwe angama-39. Ibeka iliso kwindlela yokusetyenziswa kotywala neziyobisi, ukutshaya nokungcakaza, ungcakazo kunye nokusetyenziswa kwe-intanethi.
Ingxelo ngeIreland yaveliswa yi Iziko loPhando lwaMahala eCuba eIreland kwiSebe lezeMpilo kwaye ibandakanya idatha ye-1 yabafundi base-Irish abazalwe ngo-949 kwisampuli engakhethiyo yezikolo zasesekondari ezingama-2003.
Phakathi kweziphumo eziphambili zengxelo ye-ESPAD yowama-2019 eIreland, kubonisiwe ukuba I-32% yabaphenduli wayekhe wazama ukutshaya kwaye i-14% yayiyimiphunga yangoku (ichazwe ukutshaya kwiintsuku ze-30 ezidlulileyo) kunye ne-5% yokutshaya imihla ngemihla). Ngokumalunga ne-e-cigarettes, I-39% yabafundi abaphendulayo bathi sele besebenzise i-e-cigarette; I-16% kubo ithe isebenzise enye kwiintsuku ezingama-30 ezidlulileyo.
Ngokubhekiselele kwizigqibo malunga nokusetyenziswa kwecuba kunye ne-e-cigarettes, uMphathiswa uFeighan uthumele umyalezo oqinileyo kulutsha olufikisayo:
Ukuba ufuna ukuphila ubomi obunempilo nobunempumelelo kwixa elizayo, ungaqalisi ukutshaya okanye ukufunxa. Oku ndikutsho kuba yinyaniso ebuhlungu into yokuba umntwana omnye kwababini abazama ukusebenzisa icuba ekugqibeleni uya kuba litshaya. Siyazi ukuba omnye kwabatshayi ababini uya kufa ngaphambi kwexesha ngenxa yesifo esinxulumene nokutshaya. Ngoko ke simele sigxininise ngamandla kubantwana bethu nakubazali babo ukuba ukutshaya kukhokelela kwiilahleko ezininzi ezingeyomfuneko nezibuhlungu zobomi.
Uphononongo lwakutsha nje lwedatha ye-e-cigarette yiBhodi yoPhando lwezeMpilo lufumene ukuba ukusetyenziswa kolutsha lwe-e-cigarettes kuhambelana nokunyuka kwamathuba okuba baya kutshaya. Oku kuqaqambisa ukubaluleka kwempilo yethu yoluntu. Umthetho oyilwayo ke ngoko uya kuthintela ukuthengiswa kwe-nicotine inhalers, kubandakanywa necuba ze-elektroniki, kubantu abangaphantsi kweminyaka eyi-18. Iza kwazisa nenkqubo yokukhutshwa kweelayisenisi zokuthengisa iimveliso zecuba ezinenikotini.
Lo mthetho uyilwayo uza kuqinisa ukhuseleko lwabantwana ngokuthi uthintele ukuthengiswa kweemveliso zecuba kwiindawo nemisitho ejoliswe ebantwaneni. Iya kuthintela ukuthengiswa kwabo koomatshini bokuthengisa abazenzelayo kunye neeyunithi zethutyana okanye eziphathwayo, ngakumbi ukunciphisa ukufumaneka kwabo kunye nokubonakala. Ndizimisele ukongamela ukuqaliswa kwalo mthetho ubaluleke kangaka. "
