Ucwaningo lwakamuva olwenziwa yisikhungo socwaningo lwezokwelapha i-QIMR Berghofer luveza ukuthi ukuvinjelwa kwe-vaping e-Australia kungaholela engxenyeni eshaqisayo yama-vaper aphendukela ekubhemeni kwendabuko, okufaka ingcindezi eyengeziwe ohlelweni lwezempilo lwase-Australia. Lolu shintsho olusuka ku-vaping luye kugwayi phakathi kwamaphesenti angu-13 ama-vaper angakaze abheme ngaphambili lungabiza i-Australia imali engaphezu kuka-$180 wezigidi ngonyaka, ngenxa yokwenyuka kokwelashwa kwezifo zokuphefumula, zenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi nezinye.
Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi abanye ogwayi be-elekthronikhi, abaqukethe ubuthi, izinsimbi ezisindayo njenge-nickel ne-chromium, kanye nemikhiqizo yamakhemikhali efana ne-formaldehyde ne-acetone, babone ukwanda okumangalisayo kokuthandwa, njengoba cishe isigidi sabantu base-Australia asebasebenzisa. Imiphumela eyingozi ye-vaping, okuhlanganisa ukulutheka, ubuthi, ubuthi obunamandla be-nicotine, ukusha kanye nokulimala kwamaphaphu, kuya ngokuya kubhalwe phansi.
Uma abantu abangasakwazi ukuthenga ama-vape ngenxa yokuvinjelwa okusha bekhetha ukushintshela kugwayi ngaphandle kokufuna ukuyeka ukubhema, lokhu kungandisa ingozi yezifo zesikhathi eside. USolwazi uLouisa Gordon, umcwaningi kwa-QIMR Berghofer, uveza ukuthi uhlelo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo oseluvele luntekenteke lungase luwohloke nakakhulu, ngokwanda kwenani labantu abaphethwe yizifo ezibangelwa ukubhema kanye nokulutheka kulandela lolu shintsho lusuka ekubeni umhwamuko luye kugwayi.
Izindleko ezengeziwe ohlelweni lwezempilo lwase-Australia zingafaka cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-37 ngaphezulu komdlavuza wamaphaphu futhi cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-54 wezifo eziphansi zokuphefumula unyaka ngamunye. Njengamanje, izifo zokuphefumula eziphansi kakade zibiza i-Australia amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1,5 ngonyaka.
I-Lung Foundation yase-Australia, ngoMqondisi Ophethe Wenqubomgomo, Ukumela Nokuvimbela, u-Paige Preston, ibambisene kulolu cwaningo futhi isekela isenzo sikahulumeni sokuvimbela nokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwama-vapes. Kudinga ukuqaliswa okuseqhulwini kanye nokuphoqelelwa kwezinguquko kuzo zonke izindawo, kanye nemizamo yemfundo ethuthukisiwe kanye nendlela yozwela yokusiza abantu banqobe ukuluthwa kwe-vaping kanye ne-nicotine ngaphandle kokucwaswa.
Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yokuthi i-vaping iwumkhiqizo omusha uma kuqhathaniswa, imiphumela eyingozi yokusetshenziswa kwayo ayiqondwa ngokugcwele, futhi kunobufakazi obuncane obumayelana nezimo zempilo ezingamahlalakhona ezibangelwa ukufutheka. Ucwaningo luthi ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka ukuze kuhlolwe umthwalo wangempela wokusetshenziswa kwe-e-cigarette empilweni yomuntu ngamunye kanye nomthelela wawo emkhakheni wezempilo wase-Australia kanye nomnotho wezwe.
