ISITHIBELO EKUNCISISWENI KWEZINGOZI ZOBHUMAYO
Lapho le mithetho emisha iqala ukusebenza, ngokuvamile ngomhlaka-1 Julayi ozayo, bazomisa ngendlela exakayo izithiyo enjongweni eyinhloko: leyo yokwenza i-Ontario ibe isifundazwe “esingabhemi”.
Mhlawumbe iphuzu elikhathaza kakhulu le mithetho ezayo ukuvinjelwa kokusebenzisa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi endlini, okuhlanganisa nezitolo ze-vape zabantu abadala kuphela. Lokhu ngokusobala akuwenzi umqondo njengoba abasebenzisi kufanele bakwazi ukuzama kahle imikhiqizo. Nokho ukuvinjelwa kwe-vaping endlini kuzovimbela abantu abadala ababhemayo ukuthi bazame ugwayi we-e ezitolo ezikhethekile.
"Silawula ngokuqinile ugwayi we-elekthronikhi kodwa sigunyaza amagumbi okudubula"
Kwabanye lokhu kungase kungabonakali kuyinkinga yangempela kodwa ukushintsha kusukela ekubhemeni kuye kwababhemayo ngokusobala kudinga ulwazi oluningi. Esitolo se-vape, abasebenzi kufanele bakwazi ukukhombisa abantu ukuthi bazisebenzisa kanjani izinto zokusebenza, futhi amakhasimende kufanele akwazi ukuhlola amasistimu ahlukene nama-e-liquids ukuze athole umkhiqizo ofanele. Ngaphandle kwawo, ababhemayo bayothambekela ekulahlekeni nasekubuyeleni kugwayi.
Isizathu salokhu kuvinjelwa sisekelwe embonweni wokuthi i-vaping passive iwuhlupho, nokho cishe abukho ubufakazi obusekela lokhu “kuqiniseka”. Ngokuphambene nalokho, manje sekunocwaningo oluningi oluqinisekisa ukungabikho kobungozi mayelana ne-passive vaping.
"Ezinye izifundazwe zisebenzisa izindlela ezikhululekile"
Ngokubeka ogwayi be-elekthronikhi ezingeni elifanayo nelikagwayi, uhulumeni wase-Ontario ngokuyisisekelo uziba zonke izifundo ezikhona ngale ndaba. Ukuphikisana kwangempela lapho sazi ukuthi lo hulumeni ofanayo uwasekela ngokugcwele futhi uwaxhasa ngezimali amagumbi okudubula.
Ezinye izifundazwe, nokho, zithathe izindlela ezikhululekile: EBritish Columbia, abasebenzi besitolo se-vape bangakhombisa amakhasimende ukuthi asetshenziswa kanjani imishini yize kungasetshenziswa izinsimbi ezimbili kuphela ngesikhathi. I-Alberta neSaskatchewan ayinayo imithetho ye-e-cigarette, ngakho-ke i-vaping ivunyelwe ezitolo. Isifundazwe saseManitoba sivumela ukushushuluza ezitolo ezikhethekile kodwa hhayi ezindaweni lapho ugwayi unqatshelwe khona.
Khonamanjalo, e-Ontario, lapho osopolitiki becabangela ngokusobala ukuvumela izindawo zokuphumula ze-cannabis, uhulumeni ushaya imithetho yokuzenzisa ezokwenza kube nzima kakhulu ukuthi ababhemayo bayeke ukubhema.
