IUKi-e-cigaretteI-Industry Association (UKVIA) ivakalise inkxalabo malunga nezicwangciso ezivuzayo yiKomishoni yaseYurophu ekuhlawuleni irhafu yeemveliso zomphunga kunye nefuthe elibi elinokuba nalo kwimpilo yoluntu.Inqaku langaphambili elivela kwi-Financial Times liqaphele ukuba iKhomishini yaseYurophu iceba "ukuzisa iimveliso ezintsha zecuba, ezifana ne-e-cigarettes kunye necuba elivuthayo, ngokuhambelana neerhafu ze-cigarette".
Ngaphantsi kwesindululo esiyidrafti esibekwe phambili yiKhomishini yaseYurophu, iimveliso ezinomxholo ophezulu we-nicotine ziya kuba phantsi kwerhafu yerhafu ye-40 ubuncinane, ngelixa i-e-cigarettes enamanqanaba aphantsi aya kujongana nerhafu ye-20 yeepesenti.Iimveliso zecuba ezishushu nazo ziya kurhafiswa kuma-55 ekhulwini.IKhomishini yaseYurophu kule nyanga ikwabeke isithintelo ekuthengisweni kweemveliso zecuba ezinencasa, ezishushu kumzamo wokuphelisa ukwanda kwemfuno yemveliso phakathi kwabathengi abancinci.
UMichael Randall, umongameli weWorld Vape Users' Federation (WVA), uthe irhafu ephezulu kwiimveliso zevape iya kuba nefuthe elibi kwabo banqwenela ukuyeka ukutshaya kwaye iya kudala imakethi enkulu emnyama yeemveliso zevape.
“IKomishoni yaseYurophu ithi irhafu ephezulu iya kuyiphucula impilo yoluntu, kodwa okuchasene noko kuyinyaniso.Ezinye izinto ezingeyongozi kangako ezifana ne-e-cigarettes kufuneka zifikeleleke kumntu otshayayo ozama ukuwuyeka.Ukuba ibhunga lifuna ukunciphisa umthwalo wempilo yoluntu wokutshaya, into abafanele bayenze kukwenza i-e-cigarettes ibe nexabiso eliphantsi kwaye ifikeleleke ngakumbi.”
Iirhafu ezahlukeneyo kwicuba kunye neemveliso zomphunga zibalulekile kubantu abaninzi, kunye neerhafu eziphezulu kwiimveliso zomphunga zilimaza abo bahlelelekileyo ngokwezemali kuba kunzima kubo ukutshintshela kwi-cigarettes ukuya kwi-e-cigarettes, iqela elenza eyona nxalenye inkulu ye abatshayayo ngoku.
“Irhafu ephezulu ibethe abona basengozini kakhulu.Ngexesha leentlekele ezininzi kunye nabantu abazama ukuziphilisa, ukwenza i-e-cigarettes ibize kakhulu kuchasene noko sikudingayo.IKomishoni kufuneka iqonde ukuba irhafu kwi-e-cigarettes iya kunyanzela abantu ukuba babuyele ekutshayeni okanye kwimarike emnyama, engayifuniyo.Ngexesha lentlekele, abantu akufuneki bohlwaywe ngakumbi ngumlo ongekho ngokwesayensi kunye neengcamango ezichasene ne-vaping, ekufuneka iphele. ”“Utshilo uRandall.
Ukuba sifuna ukunciphisa umthwalo wokutshaya kwimpilo yoluntu, iWorld Federation of Vaping Users ibongoza iKhomishini yaseYurophu kunye naMazwe angamaLungu ukuba alandele ubungqina besayensi kwaye aphephe irhafu ephezulu kwiimveliso zomphunga.Ukufikeleleka kunye nokufikeleleka kweemveliso ze-e-cigarette kufuneka kuqinisekiswe.
URandall wongeze wathi: “Endaweni yokucaphukai-e-cigarettes, i-EU ekugqibeleni kufuneka yamkele ukunciphisa ingozi yecuba.Into esiyidingayo lulawulo olusekelwe kumngcipheko."I-e-cigarettes inobungozi obungaphantsi kwe-95% kunecuba, ngoko ke akufanele iphathwe ngendlela efanayo ne-cigarettes yendabuko."
