I-Quebec: I-E-cig kulula ukuyifinyelela futhi ithandwa ngabantu abasha!

Ukushicilelwa kwepheshana elivela ku-National Institute of Public Health yase-Quebec

I-Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) - I-Quebec Division ikhathazeke kakhulu ngeIdatha eshicilelwe izolo yiNational Institute of Public Health yaseQuebec (INSPQ). Ngempela, akubona nje kuphela ngaphezu kwengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yabafundi abangu-2 basesekondari asebebheme ugwayi we-elekthronikhi (EC), kodwa cishe uhhafu wabafundi basesekondari abawusebenzisile (46%) abakulahli ukuzama ugwayi wendabuko (ngogwayi). Ngaphezu kwalokho, ekupheleni kwesikole samabanga aphansi, cishe oyedwa kwabayi-1 useke wazama i-EC.

Ngo-2012-2013, ingxenye yesithathu yabafundi basesikoleni esiphakeme base bevele beyisebenzisa ekuphileni kwabo. Ngokusho kwe-INSPQ, le miphumela iphezulu uma iqhathaniswa naleyo etholwe e-United States futhi iphakamisa ukuthi abaseQuebecers abasha banokufinyelela okulula kakhulu kulo mkhiqizo. “Kuyakhathaza, kodwa akumangazi. Kungani abantu abasha bengazincisha ukuthenga umkhiqizo osemfashinini, onephunga elimnandi, othengekayo abangawufinyelela? Njengoba uhulumeni enamandla okuvala ukudayiswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi ezinganeni, amehlo manje asethe njo kubona ukuze kuvikelwe abantu abasha bakithi. Lesi sinyathelo kumele sifakwe ekubuyekezweni koMthetho Kagwayi owathenjiswa uNgqongqoshe uLucie Charlebois,” kukhumbula uMélanie Champagne.” Esinye isici siphakamisa ukukhathazeka: ukunambitheka kukagwayi kanye naku-EC. “Ukunambitheka kugcwele yonke indawo: ugwayi ovamile, ugwayi omncane, ugwayi we-electronic. NgoJanuwari 2014, bekukhona ama-flavour angaphezu kuka-7000 atholakalayo, ogwayi we-elekthronikhi kuphela. Ngokusobala, imboni isizwile ukukhanga kwama-flavour kubantu abasha futhi isebenzisa leli qhinga ukuqasha amakhasimende amasha,” kugcizelela uGeneviève Berteau, Umhlaziyi Wenqubomgomo, CSC - Quebec Division.

Ngokusho kwe-INSPQ, "naphezu kokuhlukana kwemibono yochwepheshe bezempilo mayelana nezingozi nezinzuzo zikagwayi we-elekthronikhi empilweni yomphakathi, kuyavela ukuvumelana mayelana nesidingo sokulawula ukukhangisa nokukhuthazwa okuhlobene, nokuvimbela ukufinyelela kwalabo abangaphansi kweminyaka yobudala. ngo-18”. I-SCC ivumelana nalo mbono futhi ikholelwa ukuthi lezi zinyathelo ngeke zikhawulele ukufinyelela kubantu abadala abafuna ukusebenzisa ugwayi we-elekthronikhi, oyingozi kakhulu kunogwayi ovamile.

Ngesonto eledlule, i-CCS yethulwe eSishayamthetho Sikazwelonke, kanye ne-Quebec Coalition for Tobacco Control, umkhankaso we-10 kweyi-10, ophakamisa njengezinga elihlosiwe lokubhenywa kwe-10% eminyakeni eyi-10. Ugwayi unembangela yokufa komdlavuza oyedwa kwabathathu. Ukubhekana nayo kuyindlela eyinhloko ye-CCS yokusindisa izimpilo eziningi.

Ugwayi we-elekthronikhi kanye nentsha

- Abafundi abangu-5000 bonyaka we-6 wesikole samabanga aphansi sebevele bazama ugwayi we-elekthronikhi

- I-31% yabafundi besikole samabanga aphakeme abangakaze basebenzise ugwayi we-elekthronikhi, cishe abafundi abangama-84, abawashiyi ngaphandle amathuba okuwasebenzisa esikhathini esizayo

- Abafundi abangaphezu koyedwa kwabathathu basesikoleni samabanga aphezulu sebesebenzise ugwayi we-elekthronikhi, okusho ukuthi abafundi abangaba ngu-143

- Ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ukhanga kubafana: Amaphesenti angama-41 abafana bawusebenzisile, uma kuqhathaniswa nama-28% amantombazane.

- Abafundi abangaba ngu-48 besikole samabanga aphezulu abangakaze babheme ugwayi basebenzise ugwayi we-electronic (000%)
