Ukuze uphendule engxabanweni yamanje ememezela ukuthi i-vaping "iyingozi ngokungangabazeki", i- I-FIVAPE (Inhlangano ye-Interprofessional federal ye-vape) esanda kwethulwa ukukhululwa kwezindaba esikunikezayo ukuze sisatshalaliswe. Kulokhu, i-La Fivape igxeka ngokuqinile izikhundla zakamuva zeNhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba mayelana "nokulimala okungenakuphikwa" kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi, okwenziwa ukuthi iningi lezincwadi zesayensi nezokwelapha zingavunyelwe.
KWENZEKANI UMA UBANI EYEKA UKUBHEMA ABANGAGAMAYO?
I-Fédération Interprofessionnelle de la Vape, engazimele embonini kagwayi, igxeka ngokuqinile izikhundla zakamuva zeNhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba mayelana "nobungozi obungenakuphikwa" bukagwayi we-elekthronikhi, obungavunyelwe iningi lezincwadi zesayensi. Ukuphumula okukhulu nokungapheli ngamaphephandaba nomabonakude, le fomula ikhombisa i ukungazi okumangazayo kokuphathwa kokubhema ngamathuluzi okunciphisa ubungozi okuyingxenye yawo ukuhwamuka, ngaleyo ndlela kusiza ukugcina ababhemayo bewumlutha obulalayo.
Ukuntuleka okuphelele kwendlela yesayensi
Lo mbiko ukhombisa ezikhathini eziningi ukuthi awukwazi ukukhipha umbono oqondile ngezinga lengozi elimelelwa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi, ubala ukushoda kobufakazi besayensi. Ngaphezulu kwe ukuphika okusobala kwezifundo eziningi ezizimele ezibonisa izinga eliphansi kakhulu lobuthi okushiwo yilesi sixazululo sokulunyulwa, umbiko uzoziphikisa futhi uqinisekise ngaphandle kokungabaza “ubungozi obungenakuphikwa” bukagwayi we-elekthronikhi.
Ukuze kufinyelelwe lesi siphetho esiwumgomo, i-WHO izisekela emthonjeni owodwa kuphela ekuyona imvelaphi yawo: a umbiko "ngamadivayisi okulethwa kwe-nicotine kagesi" kusukela ngo-2014 (1). Kakade ephikiswana kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi ngochwepheshe bezempilo kanye ososayensi (2), lo mbiko wabe usubonisa “imvelo elinganiselwe yedatha ye-electronic nicotine inhalers” etholakala ku-WHO.
Futhi, i-WHO yenza isinqumo ngamabomu ungabunaki ucwaningo lweminyaka engaphezu kwemi-5 olusekelwa amakhulu ezincwadi zesayensi kanye nezifundo zezokwelapha ku-vaping, okubonisa ngokulandelana izinga layo eliphansi lengozi nokusebenza kwalo. Iphinde yakhetha ukungacabangi nge intuthuko ebalulekile yezobuchwepheshe okutholwe umkhakha kusukela ngo-2014, inhloso yawo bekulokhu kuwukunciphisa izinga lobungozi kwababhemayo kanye nama-vaper ngangokunokwenzeka.
Ababhemayo baseFrance abangenalwazi
NgoJuni 26, 2019, safunda ekuhlanganiseni "Ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi, ukubhema kanye nemibono yabantu abaneminyaka engu-18-75 ubudala" (3), eshicilelwe ngabakwa-Santé Publique France, ukuthi umbono wokuba yingozi empilweni yemikhiqizo eshisayo uma uqhathaniswa nogwayi ubulokhu ukhula njalo kusukela ngo-2014. Ngamanye amazwi, amaFulentshi aya ngokuya ebona ugwayi we-elekthronikhi njengoyingozi - noma ngisho nangaphezulu - kunogwayi.
Leli yiqiniso okufanele lazise iziphathimandla zezempilo kanye nabezindaba ezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu! IFrance ayikwazi ukukhokhela lolu hlobo lokuhlehla lapho ibhekene nesimo esiphuthumayo sezempilo ukuyeka ukubhema, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokwanda kwabantu ababhemayo eYurophu, cishe ngama-27%. Ugwayi uhlala eFrance imbangela ehamba phambili yokufa okungagwemeka, nokufa kwabantu abangaphezu kuka-73 unyaka ngamunye.
I-Vaping: indlela esebenzayo nephephile yokuyeka ugwayi
I-Vaping yindlela ebizwa ngokuthi "ukunciphisa ukulimala". Ngakho-ke umbuzo uphezu kwakho konke ukuthi ingabe i-vaping iveza ubungozi obunciphe kakhulu, obuvumela ukuthi inconywe njengosizo kubabhemi abangathanda ukuyeka ukubhema. Impendulo yalo mbuzo ithi YEBO: i-vaping iyithuluzi elehlisa kakhulu ubungozi bezempilo uma kuqhathaniswa nogwayi.
Lapho izifundo ezenziwayo zingaxhaswa ngezimali izinkampani zikagwayi noma amalabhorethri emithi, ukuvumelana kwesayensi nezokwelapha kuyavumelana, futhi i-synthesis etshela kakhulu yileyo ekhiqizwa yi- Umnyango Wezempilo wase-UK (4) futhi okuyinto ehlolayo - ngokucophelela - lokhu ukunciphisa ingozi engaphezu kwama-95% uma kuqhathaniswa nogwayi.
Ngakho-ke, umuntu obhemayo ophenduka i-vaper unciphisa kakhulu ubungozi bokuthola izifo ezibucayi ezixhumene nogwayi. Ababhemayo kumele basizwe ngazo zonke izindlela, ikakhulukazi labo ababhemayo. I-vape iyithuluzi le-pragmatic okufanele likhuthazwe futhi livikelwe. Ithwalwa abasebenzisi, abadlali bokuzithandela ekuyekeni kwabo ugwayi, nangolwazi lochwepheshe abazimele, i-vaping iwukusungula okusha okufanele kucatshangelwe ngevelu yakhona efanelekile: indlela yokuphuma ekuphileni ngaphandle kogwayi.
Ngakho-ke, singakwazi kanjani, ochwepheshe abanomthwalo wemfanelo, abathwali abashisekayo bempumelelo enkulu yezempilo yomphakathi, singalwa kanjani nolwazi olungamanga, ikakhulukazi uma luvela esikhungweni esisemthethweni njenge-WHO? Umkhakha wethu, osemusha kodwa oqaphela kakhulu, uqondiswa izimiso zokuziphatha. Impi yethu ngeyezempilo yomphakathi. Ngaphandle kwemboni kagwayi futhi emzabalazweni oqhubekayo cishe iminyaka eyishumi ngokumelene namaqhinga abakhiqizi bakagwayi, singamelana kanjani uma izwi lethu lichotshozwa izinhlangano zomhlaba wonke? Umqondo ophusile, sinawo. Isayensi nesibindi futhi. Kodwa izwi lethu lidinga ukudluliswa futhi lisekelwe ochwepheshe bezempilo abasemthethweni, ngosopolitiki abanesibindi futhi ekugcineni izintatheli eziqaphela umthelela wamazwi azo empilweni yababhemi abayiziboshwa zikagwayi.

Izimele ngokuqinile embonini kagwayi kanye nemboni yezemithi, i-Fivape izinikele nsuku zonke kanye nabo bonke ochwepheshe be-vaping.
