Ngaba i-e-cigarettes ingathatha indawo yecuba ukunceda ukuyeka ukutshaya?

Iwebhusayithi esemthethweni yorhulumente wase-Bhritane ikhuphe "i-Vaping eNgilani: isishwankathelo sobungqina bowama-2021" ngoMatshi walo nyaka.Ingxelo yabonisa ukuba i-e-cigarettes iyona nto isetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo ukuyeka ukutshaya ngabantu ababhemayo e-UK ngo-2020. E-United Kingdom, i-27.2% yabantu ababhemayo basebenzisa i-e-cigarettes ukunceda ukuyeka ukutshaya.

Ngokumalunga nokusebenza kwe-e-cigarettes ekuncedeni ukuyeka ukutshaya, isigqibo esithembekileyo sivela kwintlangano yezonyango yamazwe ngamazwe i-Cochrane.Lo mbutho ungenzi nzuzo ogama lingu-Archiebald L. Cochrane, umseki weyeza elisekelwe kubungqina, yasekwa ngo-1993. Lelona qumrhu linegunya elizimeleyo lezemfundo leyeza elisekelwe kubungqina kwihlabathi.Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, inabasebenzi bokuzithandela abangaphezu kwama-37,000 kumazwe angaphezu kwe-170.

Ngo-Okthobha wama-2020, uCochrane wenze izifundo zonyango ezisekelwe kubungqina obungama-50 kubantu abadala abatshayayo abangaphezu kwe-10,000 kwihlabathi liphela.Ngokwahlukileyo kumayeza emveli asekwe kumayeza asebenzayo, amayeza asekwe kubungqina agxininisa ukuba ukwenza izigqibo zonyango kufuneka kusekwe kobona bungqina bubalaseleyo bophando lwezenzululwazi.Ngoko ke, uphando lweyeza olusekelwe kubungqina aluyi kuqhuba kuphela isampula enkulu yovavanyo lwekliniki olulawulwa ngokungahleliwe, ukuphononongwa okucwangcisiweyo, kunye nohlalutyo lwe-meta, kodwa lwahlula inqanaba lobungqina obufunyenwe ngokwemigangatho, engqongqo kakhulu.

Kolu phononongo, uCochrane ufumene izifundo ezingama-50 ezisuka kumazwe ali-13 kuquka iUnited States neUnited Kingdom, ezibandakanya abantu abadala abayi-12,430 abatshayayo.Isiphelo sibonisa ukuba i-e-cigarettes inefuthe lokunceda ukuyeka ukutshaya, kwaye umphumo ungcono kunonyango lokutshintshwa kwe-nicotine.

Ngapha koko, kwangoko ngo-2019, iYunivesithi yaseLondon yaseLondon yachaza ukuba i-e-cigarettes inokunceda abantu abangama-50,000-70,000 ababhemayo baseBrithani ukuba bayeke ukutshaya minyaka le.Abaphandi abavela kwiYunivesithi yezoNyango yaseVienna eOstriya baye babonisa ukuba izinga lempumelelo yabantu abatshayayo abasebenzisa i-e-cigarettes ukuze bayeke ukutshaya liphezulu ngamaxesha e-1.69 kunalawo atshayayo asebenzisa unyango lokubuyisela inikotini.
