Ngemva kokuqaliswa kwemithetho emisha yemikhiqizo kagwayi e-United States, umuntu angalindela ushintsho. Yazi kahle ukuthi i-FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) ayizange ilinde isikhathi eside njengoba izinyathelo sezithathiwe ngokumelene nabathengisi abambalwa abadayisela izingane imikhiqizo kagwayi.
I-FDA ITHUMELE IZINCWADI ZISEXWAYISO KUBATHENGISI ABANGU-55
Ngakho-ke i-FDA isimemezele ukuthi isithathele izinyathelo 55 ngokuthumela izincwadi zokuqala eziyisixwayiso kulandela ukuthengiswa kwemikhiqizo kagwayi esanda kulawulwa (i-e-cigarettes, e-liquids, njll.) ezinganeni. Lezi zenzo zenzeka esikhathini esingangenyanga ngemva kokuqaliswa kwalo mthethonqubo omusha wenhlangano owenqabela ukudayiswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi, izigwayi, ugwayi we-hookah kanye nayo yonke eminye imikhiqizo esanda kulawulwa kagwayi kubantu abangaphansi kweminyaka engu-18.
Kwakungesikhathi sokuhlolwa kokuthotshelwa kwemithetho emaketangeni amakhulu okusabalalisa kuzwelonke lapho kwatholakala ukuthi izingane zikwazi ukuthenga imikhiqizo kagwayi “enambithekayo” (cishe sikhuluma nge-e-liquid).
