E-United States ugwayi we-elekthronikhi cishe awusoze wayeka ukuphikisana... NgoMsombuluko odlule izigele ezimbili, UDick Durbin (D-IL) kanye ULisa Murkowski (R-AK) bamemezele inhloso yabo yokwethula umthethosivivinywa ohlose ukulawula ukunambitheka okuqukethwe ku-e-cigarette.
VIKELA IZINGANE EMIKHIQIZO EFUSHAYO!
Ngabe i-United States izobhekana nama-flavour aqukethwe ku-e-liquids? NgoMsombuluko odlule amaSenenja amabili, UDick Durbin (D-IL) kanye ULisa Murkowski (R-AK) ngempela banqume ukwethula umthethosivivinywa ohlose ukuwalawula. Abanye ochwepheshe sebevele bethi lo mthethosivivinywa uyigxathu eliya phambili ekuvimbeleni abantu abasha ukuthi bazame ugwayi we-e.
Lo mthethosivivinywa, onegama lika- I-SAFEKids kungadinga ukuthi abakhiqizi be-e-cigarette bafakazele ukuthi ama-flavour asetshenziswa kuma-e-liquid abo awayona ingozi futhi awakhuthazi izingane ukuthi zidle i-nicotine. Esimeni sokungathobeli lezi zidingo, imikhiqizo ngeke igunyazwe ukuthi ihlale emakethe.
« Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi i-e-cigarette imele "imvuselelo yokubhema", inhlangano ye-Big Tobacco ezobamba isizukulwane esisha.“USenator Durbin usho kanje esitatimendeni. Ngokusho kwakhe, izindlela zokupheka ezidumile ze-e-liquid zihlanganisa " ama-flavour ezikhanga ngokungenamahloni izingane".
Akukhona okokuqala abalawuli bephula ukunambitheka kwemikhiqizo kagwayi. Ngo-2009, i-Food and Drug Administration yavala yonke iminambithi kagwayi ngaphandle kwe-menthol. Ngokocwaningo olushicilelwe ku I-American Journal of Preventive Medicine, ukuvinjelwa kwasebenza: abasebasha babencane ngo-17% amathuba okuba babheme. Kodwa i-FDA yayingenalo igunya lokulawula ugwayi we-elekthronikhi kuze kube ngu-2016, futhi leyo mikhiqizo yawa ngenxa yokuvinjelwa kokunambitheka.
I-FDA AYIKABE NOMUGQA WESIKHATHI WOKUTHUTHUKISA IMITHETHO
Uma i-FDA nayo isiqala ukufunda ngokulawulwa kwama-flavour kagwayi we-elekthronikhi, kusekude nokuba nesixazululo. NgoMashi, i-ejensi yaqala ukucela ukuphawula komphakathi ngezihloko ezinjengokuphepha kwama-flavour asetshenziswa kuma-e-liquids kanye namandla isango umphumela".
« Iqiniso eliphazamisayo liwukuthi i-e-cigarettes ingumkhiqizo kagwayi osetshenziswa kakhulu abafundi. Ngokuphathelene namaphunga, zibhekwa njengenye yezizathu ezintathu eziyinhloko zokusetshenziswa kwazo", kusho ukhomishana UScott Gottlieb. Noma kunjalo kufanele kuqondwe ukuthi okwamanje, i-ejensi iqoqa ulwazi kuphela: alikabikho uhlelo lwezikhathi lokuthuthukiswa kwemithetho emisha.
Kodwa koDurbin nabanye ongoti bezempilo yomphakathi akusheshi ngokwanele futhi besaba ukuthi izingane zizokhangwa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ngenxa yephunga elimnandi elinikezwayo futhi zigcine seziwumlutha ngenxa ye-nicotine.
« Ugwayi ungumkhiqizo wokunambitha owesabekayo. Akuyona into oyithandayo ngokushesha ngemva kokuyidla "Kusho Ilana Knopf, umqondisi weSikhungo Sezempilo Yomphakathi kanye Nenqubomgomo Kagwayi eNortheastern University. " Kumele kuqondwe ukuthi ama-flavour ayimikhiqizo eyisisekelo ngempela“, esho engeza ngokuthi ungawuqhathanisa nesipuni sikashukela owufaka emuthini.
Enye inkinga ukuthi lawa ma-flavour aphephile yini. I-FDA, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ibheka ukuthi ama-flavour amaningi aqukethwe ku-e-liquid awayona ingozi ngaphandle kokuba nesiqinisekiso sokuthi angalungela ukuhogela.
Umthethosivivinywa ohlongozwe uSenator u-Durbin noMurkowski uzonikeza abenzi be-e-cigarette unyaka ukuze banikeze ubufakazi bokuthi ukunambitheka kwabo kuphephile, ukuthi basiza abantu abadala ukuba bayeke ukubhema futhi bangazami izingane. Siphinde siqonde ukuthi kufunwa enye inhloso: Eyokuphoqa i-FDA ukuthi ilawule ukuvuthwa kwemfucuza ngokushesha okukhulu.
