Ucwaningo olusha olushicilelwe ku-Journal of Harm Reduction evela e-University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School lusikisela ukuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ungasiza ababhemayo ukuba bayeke futhi kungase kube ngcono ukuhlala bengabhemi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Ababhali bocwaningo benza izingxoxo ezijulile nabasebenzisi be-e-cigarette be-40, behlanganisa umlando wokubhema wombambi qhaza ngamunye, izilungiselelo ze-e-cigarette (kuhlanganise nezintandokazi zejusi), ukuthi bathole kanjani i-e-cigarettes, kanye nemizamo yokuyeka yangaphambilini.

Phakathi kwabasebenzisi be-e-cigarette abangama-40 ekupheleni kocwaningo:

Abangu-31 basebenzise ugwayi we-elekthronikhi kuphela (amaphutha amancane abikiwe angu-19),
6 ukuphinda okubikiwe (5 ukusetshenziswa okukabili)
Abahlanganyeli abathathu bayeke ngokuphelele ukubhema nokubhema
Lolu cwaningo luphinde lunikeze ubufakazi bokuthi ababhemayo abazama ugwayi we-e-cigarette bangase bagcine beyekile, ngisho noma bebengenayo inhloso yokuyeka kwasekuqaleni.

Iningi lama-vaper okwaxoxwa nawo lathi lalishintsha ngokushesha lisuka ekubhemeni liye ekubhemeni, kuyilapho iphesenti elincane lalishintsha kancane kancane lisuka ekusebenziseni okukabili (ugwayi kanye ne-vaping) liye ekuvuseni kuphela.

Nakuba abanye ababambiqhaza ocwaningweni babuye babuyela emuva, mhlawumbe ngenxa yezizathu zomphakathi noma ezingokomzwelo, ukubuyela emuva akuzange kuholele ekutheni ababambiqhaza babuyele ekubhemeni isikhathi esigcwele.

Ogwayi be-elekthronikhi bayingozi okungenani ngo-95% kunokubhema futhi manje sebewusizo oludume kakhulu lokuyeka ukubhema e-UK.

Kodwa-ke, umqondo wokusebenzisa i-e-cigarettes ukuyeka ukubhema, ikakhulukazi ngokusetshenziswa isikhathi eside, uhlala uphikisana.

Sithole ukuthi i-e-cigarettes ingase isekele ukuyeka ukubhema isikhathi eside.

Akugcini nje kuphela ngokuthatha indawo yezinto eziningi ezithinta ugwayi, ezingokwengqondo, ezingokwenhlalo namasiko, kodwa ngokwemvelo kuyajabulisa, kulula kakhulu futhi kumbi eqolo kunokubhema.

Kodwa esikuthole kuthakazelisa ngempela ukuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ungase futhi ukhuthaze abantu abangafuni ngisho nokuyeka ukubhema ukuthi bagcine bewuyekile.
UDkt. Caitlin Notley uyaqhubeka nokuphawula

Nasi isiphetho socwaningo, esikufingqa konke:

Idatha yethu iphakamisa ukuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ungase ube into entsha ehlukile yokunciphisa ukulimala evimbela ukuphinda ubheme.

Ogwayi be-elekthronikhi bahlangabezana nezidingo zabanye ababekade bebhema ngokushintsha izici zomzimba, zengqondo, zezenhlalo, zamasiko, kanye nolwazi oluhlobene nokuluthwa ugwayi.

Abanye abasebenzisi baka-e-cigarette babika ukuthi bathola i-e-cigarette ijabulisa futhi ijabulisa—hhayi nje enye indlela, kodwa empeleni bakhetha ukubhema ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Lokhu kukhombisa ngokusobala ukuthi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi uyindlela esebenzayo yesikhathi eside yokubhema enemithelela ebalulekile yokunciphisa ukulimala kukagwayi.

Ngifunda imiphumela yocwaningo kanye nezingcaphuno ezivela kubahlanganyeli, ngathola izitatimende ezihambisana nokuhlangenwe nakho kwamanye ama-vaper, zinanela izitatimende ezazivame ukuzwakala, ngisho nezinye ezami zizama ukushintsha kusukela ekubhemeni kuya ekuphefumuleni.
