Ugwayi we-elekthronikhi, ngokungangabazeki uyingozi kangako empilweni kunowokuqala, ingabe awunayo ingozi? Uma le divayisi ingenye indlela eya yanda esikhundleni sokusetshenziswa kukagwayi, abacwaningi baseMelika bayaphikelela esidingweni sokucwaninga imiphumela yabo yesikhathi eside.
Ngokwemiphumela yokuqala eyethulwe engqungqutheleni ye-American Association for Research on Cancer, ukuchayeka kumusi we-e-cigarette kubangela izinguquko kumaseli athile e-bronchial anomdlavuza afana nalawo abangelwa intuthu. U-Avrum Spira, umcwaningi waseBoston University, uthi: “Umsebenzi wethu usikisela ukuthi ugwayi we-electronic ungase ungabi yingozi. Nature.
Lesi sihloko, esokuqala esigqamisa umphumela omubi “we-vaping” in vitro, abuhluleli kusengaphambili ubuthi balo mkhuba kubantu. Ukuze bafinyelele esiphethweni sabo, ososayensi baseMelika bagxile emangqamuzaneni aphethe ukuguqulwa kofuzo okuvame ukuba yisibikezelo somdlavuza wamaphaphu. “Kungenzeka ukuthi umhwamuko kagwayi we-elekthronikhi usebenze njengesikhuthazi kula mangqamuzana athile,” kuvuma uDokotela David Planchard, isazi sezifo ezithinta izifo eGustave-Rousy Institute (Villejuif), “kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi uyakwazi ukudala amangqamuzana omdlavuza nge inhlabathi enempilo - njengoba kwenzeka ngentuthu kagwayi."
Ngokungafani nogwayi, ukushiswa okukhipha i-carbon monoxide nezinhlayiya eziqinile, ugwayi we-elekthronikhi awukhiqizi izinto ezidala umdlavuza ngamanani abalulekile. I-Nicotine nezincibilikisi eziyingxenye yokwakheka kwayo aziyona into ephambili ehilelekile ku-genesis yomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Ngokuqondene nemiphumela ecasulayo ebangelwa eminye yale mikhiqizo, ibonakala incane kakhulu kunaleyo ehlobene nokusetshenziswa kukagwayi.
Ayingozi kakhulu kunogwayi
“Ukufakazela ngokugcwele ukuphepha kwalo mshini ngokungangabazeki kuzothatha iminyaka eminingi,” kugcizelela isazi sezifo zamaphaphu uBertrand Dautzenberg, namuhla ongumsekeli onolaka, “kodwa siyazi ngokuqiniseka ukuthi “ukuphefumula umoya” akuyingozi kakhulu empilweni kunentuthu kagwayi.” Njengaye, inani elikhulayo lochwepheshe bakagwayi lifuna ukusatshalaliswa okubanzi ngangokunokwenzeka kukagwayi we-e. Njengoba bekhumbula ukuthi ugwayi ubangela ukufa kwabantu abangu-73 000 ngonyaka, bakubona njengethuluzi elingalindelekile lokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi. “Sekunezinyanga ezimbalwa sibona ukwehla kokuthengiswa kukagwayi,” kuphawula uProfesa Dautzenberg.
Selokhu kwethulwa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi emakethe yaseYurophu maphakathi nawo-2000, ochwepheshe baye bahlukaniswa ngokweluleka kokuwukhuthaza ngenkuthalo. Ngokocwaningo lwamuva nje, abantu baseFrance abangaphezu kwesigidi bayisebenzisa nsuku zonke. Kodwa-ke, abanye ososayensi bayangabaza ukukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwaleli thuluzi kuze kube yilapho sekunombono owanele wokubheka ukuphepha kwalo. Abanye baveza ukuthi ukumuncwa kwe-nicotine kubhebhethekisa ukulutheka okuyingozi. NgokukaDkt David Planchard, “kubalulekile ukuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi uthathwe njengethuluzi lokusiza ekunqandeni, ukusetshenziswa kwawo okufanele kunqunyelwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi”.
