E-United States, ochwepheshe besikhungo sokulawula ushevu basaqhubeka bekhathazekile ngokuchayeka kugwayi we-elekthronikhi nama-e-liquids, ikakhulukazi izingane. Kusukela ekuqaleni konyaka kuze kube ngu-Ephreli, i-AAPCC (American Association of Poison Control Center) isivele ibale ukuchayeka okungu-920 kuzo zonke izigaba zeminyaka.
UKUVEZWA KU-NICOTINE, UKUKHATHAZA OKUQHUBEKAYO!
Kusukela ngoJanuwari kuya ku-April 2018, I-AAPCC (Inhlangano YaseMelika Yesikhungo Sokulawula Ubuthi) uthi ukhonjiwe 926 ukuvezwa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi nama-e-liquids aqukethe i-nicotine. I-AAPCC nokho icacisa ukuthi igama elithi “exposure” lichaza ukuthintana nento (emuncwa, ehogelwe, emuncwe ngesikhumba noma ngamehlo, njll.) Kubalulekile ukusho ukuthi akukona konke ukuchayeka okuwushevu noma ukweqisa umthamo.
Ngo-2014, ngaphezu kwesigamu sokuchayeka kugwayi we-electronic kanye ne-nicotine e-liquids kwenzeka ezinganeni ezincane ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-6 ubudala. I-AAPCC ithi iwebhusayithi yayo esemthethweni ukuthi ezinye izingane eziye zahlangana ne-e-liquid equkethe i-nicotine ziye zagula kakhulu. Izimo ezimbalwa ziye zadinga ngisho nokuvakashelwa egumbini lezimo eziphuthumayo ngemva kokuhlanza.
Nakuba ochwepheshe abavela ezikhungweni zokulawula ushevu beqhubeka nokukhathazeka ngokuchayeka kugwayi we-elekthronikhi nama-e-liquids, kusenokwehla okuphawulekayo kwezibalo ezethulwe eminyakeni edlule. Ngo-2014, i-AAPCC yabala Amacala okuchayeka angu-4023 ngoba 2907 ukuvezwa futhi ngo 2016 2475 ukuvezwa e 2017.
ngaphezulu i-American Association of Poison Control Center nokho inikeza izincomo ezithile kubasebenzisi ezicacisa ukuthi abantu abadala kufanele bavikele isikhumba sabo lapho bephethe i-nicotine e-liquids. Ukuze ugweme noma isiphi isigameko, imikhiqizo ye-vaping kufanele igcinwe lapho izingane zingafinyeleleki futhi zingabonakali. Okokugcina, i-AAPCC ikhumbula ukuthi kubalulekile ukugwema noma yikuphi ukuchayeka kwe-e-liquids equkethe i-nicotine nezilwane ezifuywayo kanye nokuhlanza ngokuphelele iziqukathi okungenzeka ukuthi bezinale mikhiqizo ngaphambi kokusetshenziswa.
