Uma kuze kube yileso sikhathi, ukusetshenziswa kwemithethonqubo ebekwe yi-FDA (Food and Drug Administration) ku-e-cigarette kwakusenamafu ezitolo ze-vape, i-federal agency igcine inikeze imininingwane eshicileleni lakamuva. Ukucaciswa okungakhulula izitolo eziningi ze-vape.
INCAZELO YOKUTHI YINI EVUMELEKILE EZITHENGENI ZAMA-VAPE
Ngakho-ke i-federal agency isanda kushicilela iziqondiso eziphathelene nokulawulwa kwe-e-cigarettes, okuyinto okokuqala echaza ngokucacile ukuthi yimiphi imisebenzi egunyaziwe ezitolo ze-vape. Kusukela ekukhululweni kwemithethonqubo, abanikazi bamabhizinisi baye bazama kaningi ukuthola ukucaciswa okunjalo, leso sikhathi sesifikile ekugcineni.
Ngakho-ke sifunda ukuthi ezitolo ezingaqokwanga njengabakhiqizi bemikhiqizo kagwayi ngaphansi kwemithethonqubo, i-FDA izobavumela ukuthi bashintshe ukumelana, bahlanganise amakhithi futhi bagcwalise amathangi amakhasimende abo. Kusalinde lokhu kucaciselwa, izitolo eziningi bezilindele futhi zahumusha imithetho ngokufaka ukuvinjelwa kwemisebenzi yesevisi yamakhasimende.
Ngokusho kwe-FDA, noma yimuphi umthengisi "odala noma olungisa" noma yimiphi "imikhiqizo kagwayi" emisha (ehlanganisa wonke ama-e-cigarette kanye nemikhiqizo yokuphefumula) uthathwa njengomkhiqizi ngakho kufanele abhalise njengomkhiqizi. Kuzodingeka futhi ukuthi ifake ohlwini yonke imikhiqizo eyithengisayo, ithumele amadokhumenti esikhungweni, imemezele uhlu lwezithako zayo, futhi ibike izingxenye eziyingozi nezingaba yingozi ezifakiwe (i-HPHC). Ukwengeza, abakhiqizi kudingeka bathumele ku-Pre-Market Tobacco Application (PMTAs) ngokuphathelene nayo yonke imikhiqizo abayakhayo noma abayishintshayo.
YIZIPHI IZINGUQUKO NGEMPELA EZITHWENI?
Izitolo eziningi ze-vape zihumushe imithetho ukuthi ifaka phakathi ukuvinjelwa ekusizeni amakhasimende ukuthi ashintshe amakhoyili, alungise ikhithi yokuqalisa, enze ukulungisa okulula, noma achaze ngisho nemisebenzi yomkhiqizo. Naphezu kwezicelo eziningi, i-FDA kuze kube manje igweme ukuchaza ukuthi yini evunyelwe noma cha.
Ngaphandle kweziqu "zomkhiqizi" le misebenzi elandelayo ingenziwa :
- "Khombisa noma chaza ukusetshenziswa kwe-ENDS ngaphandle kokuhlanganisa umkhiqizo"
- "Ukugcina i-ENDS ngokuyihlanza noma ukuqinisa izinto zokubopha (isb. izikulufu)"
- “Faka izimbangi endaweni ethi ENDS ngeziphikisayo ezifanayo (isb. inani elifanayo nesilinganiso samandla)”
- "Hlanganisa ama-ENDS ezingxenyeni nasezinxenyeni ezihlanganiswe ndawonye kukhithi"
Ukwengeza, i-FDA ithi imisebenzi ethile eyichaza ngokuthi "ilungisa" imikhiqizo enedumela ngeke isebenze. Ngokwesitatimende sayo, i-FDAayihlosile ukuphoqelela izimfuneko ezinhlanu ezibalwe ngenhla zezitolo ze-vape uma zonke izinguquko zihambisana nezimfuneko zemvume yokumaketha ye-FDA noma uma umkhiqizi wangempela enikeza izincazelo kanye nokuthi zonke izinguquko ezenziwe zithobelana nalezi zici. »
Isitolo se-vape sizovunyelwa ukusiza ikhasimende ekugcwaliseni ithangi lalo, inqobo nje uma kungekho ukuguqulwa okwenziwa kudivayisi ngaphandle kwalokho okunconywe umenzi (nge-oda lokukhishwa noma emiyalweni ephrintiwe). Ukugcwalisa idivayisi evaliwe kunqatshelwe. (kweminye i-cartridge e-cigarettes, kungenzeka ukuqaqa uhlelo ukuze luphambukise ukuze lugcwalise, lo mkhuba ngakho-ke awuvunyelwe ezitolo!)
I-FDA ichaza ngokuqondile ukuthi ukushintshwa kwezithasiselo ngabanye kunalezo ezihlinzekwe kule modeli akuvunyelwe. Ngakho, abasebenzi basesitolo bazovinjelwa ekufakeni ama-atomizer kumakhasimende abo.
ITHUBA LOKUPHAWULA NGALEZI MIHLAHLANDLELA
Ngokushicilelwa kwaloluhlaka olusha lwesiqondiso kukhona ithuba lokuthi umphakathi ushiye imibono. Bonke abanikazi bezitolo kanye ne-vape kanye namakhasimende bangashiya izibuyekezo ezithile noma izeluleko zokuthi le mihlahlandlela ingabathinta kanjani okwenziwayo. Lokhu kungenziwa esizeni I-Regulations.gov ngaphansi kwenombolo yefayela I-FDA-2017-D-0120.
Mayelana nokubhaliswa kwabakhiqizi ne-ejensi, umnqamulajuqu unwetshiwe kusukela ngoDisemba 31, 2016 kuya kuJuni 30, 2017. Muva nje, i-FDA iphinde yelula umnqamulajuqu wokuthunyelwa kohlu lwezithako kusukela ngoFebhuwari 8 kuya ku-Agasti 8, 2017. Ekugcineni, i-FDA lapha imemezela ukuthi ngeke iphoqelele imfuneko yokuthi yonke imikhiqizo kagwayi “faka isitatimende esinembile sephesenti likagwayi wangaphandle nowasekhaya osetshenziswa emikhiqizweni. ”.
