UNgqongqoshe Wezwe Wezempilo Yomphakathi, Wezenhlalakahle kanye Nesu Likazwelonke Lezidakamizwa, UFrank Feighan , namuhla wethule umbiko we-Irish European Schools Alcohol Project 
nezinye izidakamizwa (ESPAD). I-ESPAD inhlolovo yaseYurophu eyenziwa njalo eminyakeni emine ngokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa phakathi kwabafundi abaneminyaka eyi-15 nengu-16 emazweni angama-39. Iqapha izitayela ekusetshenzisweni kotshwala nezidakamizwa, ukubhema nokugembula, ukugembula nokusetshenziswa kwe-inthanethi.
Umbiko nge-Ireland ukhiqizwe ngabakwa I-TobaccoFree Research Institute yase-Ireland yoMnyango Wezempilo futhi ihlanganisa idatha yenani labafundi base-Ireland abayi-1 abazalwa ngo-949 ngesampula engahleliwe yezikole zamabanga aphezulu ezingama-2003.
Phakathi kokutholwe okuyinhloko kombiko we-ESPAD ka-2019 nge-Ireland, kuvezwa ukuthi Ama-32% abaphendulile bake bazama ukubhema futhi abangu-14% babengababhemi bamanje (kubikwe ukuthi bayabhema ezinsukwini ezingu-30 ezedlule) kanti u-5% ubhema nsuku zonke). Mayelana ne-e-cigarettes, 39% wabafundi abaphendula bathi sebevele basebenzise i-e-cigarette; U-16% wabo uthe usebenzise eyodwa ezinsukwini ezingama-30 ezedlule.
Mayelana neziphetho mayelana nokusetshenziswa kukagwayi nogwayi we-elekthronikhi, uNgqongqoshe u-Feighan uthumele umlayezo oqinile entsheni:
Uma ufuna ukuphila impilo enempilo nephumelelayo esikhathini esizayo, ungaqali ukubhema noma ukufutha. Lokhu ngikusho ngoba kuyiqiniso elibuhlungu ukuthi ingane eyodwa kwezimbili ezama ukusebenzisa ugwayi igcina isibhema. Siyaqaphela ukuthi oyedwa kwababili ababhemayo uzofa ngaphambi kwesikhathi ngenxa yesifo esihlobene nokubhema. Ngakho-ke kumelwe sigcizelele ngokuqinile ezinganeni zethu nakubazali bazo ukuthi ukubhema kuholela ekulahlekelweni okuningi okungadingekile nokudabukisayo kokuphila.
Ukubuyekezwa kwakamuva kwedatha ye-e-cigarette okwenziwa yi-Health Research Board kuthola ukuthi ukusebenzisa kwentsha ugwayi we-elekthronikhi kuhlotshaniswa namathuba akhulayo okuthi kamuva izoba ababhemayo. Lokhu kugqamisa ukubaluleka kwempilo yethu yomphakathi. Ngakho-ke umthethosivivinywa uzokwenqabela ukudayiswa kwama-nicotine inhalers, okuhlanganisa nogwayi we-electronic, kubantu abangaphansi kweminyaka engu-18. Lokhu kuzophinde kwethule uhlelo lwamalayisense okuthengiswa kwemikhiqizo kagwayi equkethe i-nicotine.
Lo mthethosivivinywa uzophinde uqinise ukuvikelwa kwezingane ngokuvimbela ukudayiswa kwemikhiqizo kagwayi ezindaweni nemicimbi ehloselwe izingane. Izophinda ivimbele ukuthengiswa kwayo emishinini yokuzithengisa kanye namayunithi esikhashana noma eselula, kuqhubeke kwehlisa ukutholakala nokubonakala kwayo. Ngizimisele ukwengamela ukwethulwa kwalo mthetho obaluleke kangaka. "
