Akwaziwa kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini eyadlulayo, i-snus iyakhula phakathi kwabantu abancinci baseSwitzerland. Libonakala lingeyongozi kangako kunecuba, icuba elifunxayo laseSweden likhobokisa kakhulu. Ngelixa iya kugunyaziswa ukuba ithengiswe ngo-2022, izangqa zokuthintela ziyazibuza
SNUS, INGXAKI KUNYE NEXAXAKO PHAMBI KOKUGUNYAZWA OKUTHENGISA!
«Ekuqaleni, ujonge loo mvakalelo imnandi eyenza intloko yakho ijikeleze. Emva koko uqhelane nayo kwaye iyanyamalala. Kodwa okwangoku, ulikhoboka lecuba.» Kwiminyaka engama-27, u-Kevin ungumsebenzisi onzima we-snus, elicuba lifumileyo lipakishwe kwii-mini-pads ezifana neebhegi zeti. Ukutyibilika phakathi kwe-gum kunye nomlomo (phezulu okanye ngaphantsi), i-sachet ye-porous ihlala kwindawo yemizuzu embalwa okanye ngaphezulu. Emva koko inikotini ifunxwa yintsini ize ifike egazini.
U-Kevin akakho yedwa. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, i-snus ibe nabalandeli abaninzi ngakumbi eSwitzerland, ngakumbi phakathi kwabafana, ngakumbi ngexesha lenkonzo yasemkhosini. Ngokutsho kwengxelo ye-Addiction Suisse malunga nokutshaya, i-4,2% yamadoda aneminyaka eyi-15-25 yayisebenzisa ngo-2016. Kwi-2016, i-0,6% yabemi baseSwitzerland bayisebenzisayo, xa kuthelekiswa ne-0,2% kwi-2011.
I-priori iyingozi kakhulu kunecuba, i-snus ishiya umkhondo. Ezona ziphumo bezingalindelekanga zixhaphake kakhulu zizilonda zomlomo ezinokuba nzima, zikhoyo Isabelle Jacot Sadowski, ugqirha kwiKliniki yezoNyango yeYunivesithi yaseLausanne.
«Ukusetyenziswa rhoqo kunokukhokelela kumonakalo kwimibhobho ye-mucous, ukurhoxiswa kweentsini kwaye ngaloo ndlela konakalise izicubu ezixhasa izinyo.» Ukwakhankanya ukwanda komngcipheko wokuba nomhlaza wepancreatic. “Ubudlelwane bukwakhona phakathi kokusetyenziswa kwe-snus kunye nesehlo sokubetha kunye nesifo sentliziyo.» Kugqirha, enye yeengxaki ezinkulu ihlala ikukuxhomekeka okunamandla okwenziwa yimveliso.
Ukuze ulumkise abantu abatsha, Umlutha eSwitzerland wababhalela iprospectus ngo-2014.Kwinkqubo yesizwe yokuCola nokuCoca, enikezelwe kwihlabathi lezemidlalo, 
Usnus ngomnye wemixholo efunyenweyos,” utshilo uCorinne Kibora, isithethi seAddiction Suisse. Umbutho ukwandula ukupapasha uluhlu lwazo zonke iimveliso zecuba. “Kuba imarike iguquka ngokukhawuleza kakhulu, kunzima ukuhamba, ngakumbi ngokwemingcipheko yempilo.», uphawula uCorinne Kibora.
U-Isabelle Jacot Sadowski wongeza kwiqela lakhe: "Isibongozo solutsha akufunekanga sincitshiswe, ngakumbi kwimibutho ethile yezemidlalo. I-Snus ayinayo impembelelo embi kwindlela yokuphefumla, inokuthatyathwa ngokucokisekileyo kwiindawo zoluntu ezivaliweyo kwaye ikhangeleka ngaphezu kokuhlafuna okanye ukuhlafuna icuba.»
Wavalwa ekuthengisweni ukusukela ngo-1995 eSwitzerland (kwaye ukusukela ngo-1992 ngaphakathi kwiManyano yaseYurophu), u-snus waxhamla kwinkcazelo engacacanga evumele iivenkile ukuba ziyithengise phantsi kweleyibhile yemveliso ehlafunwayo. Nangona inqaku lomthetho lalungiswa ngo-2016, ii-kiosks ezininzi ziyaqhubeka nokubanika.
Ngo-2022, iya kuba semthethweni. Emva kokwaliwa komthetho oyilwayo wokuqala yipalamente, iBhunga laMazwe ngaMazwe lanikezela idrafti entsha apho i-snus yayiza kuvunyelwa ngokusemthethweni kwaye intengiso yecuba kumaphephandaba nakwimiboniso bhanyabhanya iya kuhlala igunyazisiwe.
Noko ke, iFederal Commission for the Prevention of Smoking yancomela ukuba eli cuba lifunxayo lingavunyelwa ngokusemthethweni. Isikolo saseSwitzerland seMpilo yoLuntu sisanda kuhlalutya umthetho oyilwayo kwaye sanikezela ngesigxeko esinamandla: "Ijolise kuphela ekukhuseleni ishishini lecuba kunye namacandelo ezoqoqosho axhomekeke kuwo ngaphandle kokuqwalasela umdla woluntu kunye namalungelo asisiseko.»
