Noma yimuphi umthetho uzolimaza umthengi. Ngokwenza kube nzima ukuthi abakhiqizi bafinyelele emakethe.
Ukuthengiswa kukagwayi wendabuko kuyehla, kodwa i-vaping isiwumkhuba wamashumi ezigidi zabantu emhlabeni jikelele. E-United States, ukuthengiswa kwe-e-cigarettes kukhuphuke kusuka ku-500 million dollar ngo-2012 kuya ku-2 billion ngo-2014. EFrance, bamele ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-300 zama-euro. Ngakho-ke nakuba bekunephuzu elilodwa kuphela lokudayiswa eFrance ngo-2010, manje sekungaphezu kuka-2500 XNUMX. Lokhu kukhula okuphawulekayo kunemiphumela eminingana. Ikakhulukazi, kuye kwavusa inkulumo-mpikiswano mayelana nokulawulwa kwalezi zindlela ezintsha zokulawula i-nicotine.
Kodwa-ke, noma yikuphi ukukhetha kokulawula kungavuna abadlali abathile emakethe kunabanye. Ngakho-ke, ukuhlukanisa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi njengemithi (ngemvume yokumaketha) kunikeza inzuzo embonini kagwayi kodwa futhi kuyinzuzo embonini eyenza imithi. Isifiso siyakhula phakathi kwabadlali kulo mkhakha ukuze bathole imithethonqubo, ngenkathi ibonakala ikhuthaza ukuvikelwa kwabathengi, ingabahlinzeka ngokuvikeleka okuqinile kwabangenayo abasha. Njengakunoma iyiphi imboni esakhula, ugwayi we-elekthronikhi kanye nomkhakha kagwayi ubone ukudalwa, kancane kancane, kwethonya elinamandla.
Ake sithathe isibonelo sase-United States. Reynolds waseMelika (Buka) kanye Altria (I-MarkTen) inxenxa i-Food and Drug Administration ukuze bathole ukulawulwa okwengeziwe, okuhlanganisa nokugunyazwa kokumaketha. Isicelo ngasinye singabiza izigidi zamaRandi, sinciphise ikhono lamabhizinisi amancane lokusungula izinto ezintsha ukuze angene emakethe. Kufanele wazi ukuthi uhlelo lwe-VTM (“ama-vapors, tank, mods” ngesiNgisi) luvuliwe futhi lungasebenzisa izinhlobo eziningana zama-e-liquids. Ogwayi be-elekthronikhi abasebenzisa i-VTM bamele cishe amaphesenti angama-40 emakethe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, u-Reynolds no-Altria e-cigarettes, bathembele ezinhlelweni ezivaliwe ezingasebenzisa ama-cartridges awakhelwe wona ngokukhethekile. U-Reynolds no-Altria baphikisa ngokuthi i-VTM kufanele isuswe ngoba iyingozi kakhulu kubasebenzisi bayo abangasebenzisa, ikakhulukazi izinto ezibulalayo njengensangu. Iqiniso liwukuthi i-VTM iwuhlelo oluvela ngokushesha olungase luphazamise zombili izinkampani. Ukugunyazwa kuzovikela imakethe yabo.
Ukuncintisana nakho kunzima kubasabalalisi. EFrance, abanye abathengisi sebevele bezwakalisa isifiso sabo sokulawulwa ukuze benze umsebenzi wabo ungabi nzima. Ngokusho komphathi wesitolo sasePoint Smoke u-Anton Malaj, “Kunzima kakhulu. Awukho umthetho obambekayo, noma ngubani angavula isitolo sikagwayi kagesi, inkinga leyo. Izinkampani zikagwayi ziyangena kuwo futhi ezitolo eziningi ungathola ugwayi we-electronic.” Ngakolunye uhlangothi izitolo zikagwayi, zibona ingxenye yemakethe ibaleka. ILungu lePhalamende uThierry Lazaro umemezele umthethosivivinywa ngo-2013 wokunikeza abagwayi ugwayi oyedwa ekusatshalalisweni kukagwayi we-e eFrance. Kuze kube manje lokhu akubanga nemithetho emisha. Ekugcineni, abanye, njengoprofesa waseGeneva uJean-François Etter, bayamangala ukuphikiswa kukagwayi we-elektroniki ngoba lokhu kufana nokudlala ezandleni zemboni kagwayi. Kungaba ngenxa yezizathu zentela? Lokhu kungenzeka uma sicabanga ukuthi uMbuso WaseFrance waqoqa intela engaphezudlwana kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-12 zama-euro ekusetshenzisweni kukagwayi ngo-2013 - okuyisibalo esibalulekile uma sicabanga ukuthi phakathi nesikhathi sokuphila kwempilo yomuntu obhemayo zingaphansi komphakathi kunezindleko zezempilo. elomuntu ongabhemi ngenxa yokufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi kwalowo owandulelayo.
Imakethe yomhlaba wonke ye-e-cigarette ekugcineni ingabiza ngaphezu kwezigidigidi eziyikhulu zama-euro. Noma yimuphi umthetho ongakhuphula izindleko zokungena emakethe uzovumela abadlali bamanje ukuthi baqinise isikhundla sabo. Ngakho masingaphuthelwa ilitshe. Nakuba kungenasidingo, imithetho yokuvikela abathengi elawula ikhwalithi enhle nokuphepha kwemikhiqizo ingaba kuhle ekuthuthukisweni kwemakethe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, noma yimuphi umthetho ongenza ukungena emakethe kube nzima kakhulu (ngokufuna ukuqinisekisa ukuncintisana “okulungile” okwengeziwe, ngokwesibonelo, ukulawula inani lezitolo) kungaholela ekudaleni noma ekuqiniseni irenti yabadlali bomlando ( ikakhulukazi abakhiqizi bakagwayi) futhi kungaba yingozi kubathengi.
