Iimbaleki ze-Ultra, iibhayisekile zeentaba, kunye nezinye iimbaleki zonyamezelo azikho abantu abangaziwayo kwi-vaping, kwaye ngaphandle kwe-hippie stoner stereotype yakudala, abantu abasebenzisa i-vape badla ngokusebenza. Enyanisweni, i-82% yabasebenzisi bathi baye batshaya kwiyure enye ngaphambi okanye kwiiyure ezine emva kokuzivocavoca.
Nangona uninzi lusithi kunokwenzeka ukuba bavape emva koqeqesho kunangaphambili, ama-67% bathi bazenze zombini. Kwabo bathe benza olu qheliselo kunye nokuzilolonga, i-70% yathi inyuse ukonwabela ukuzilolonga, i-78% yathi iphucule ukuchacha, kwaye i-52% yathi inyuse inkuthazo.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, uninzi lwaba basebenzisi basebenzayo baye batshintsha ukusuka kwicuba ukuya kwiipeni zevape njengoko yayikhuthazwa njengendlela “esempilweni” yokusela umsi. Nkqu nenzululwazi ibinomdla ekuxhaseni izidima ezihambelana ne-vaping phezu kokutshaya. I-Vaping iyingqondi kwaye ayibangeli umsi omninzi, nto leyo eyenze yanomtsalane ngakumbi kubasebenzisi abasebenzayo.
Into esenokubonakala ngathi liyeza ekuqaleni ngoku ikhokelele kubhubhani. Iingcali zempilo zilumkisa ngolu qheliselo, apho abantu abaninzi babelane ngemidiza ye-elektroniki nabahlobo okanye intsapho. Ukuba ukwicala le-hysteria, sifuna ukubeka ingqondo yakho ngokukhululeka ngokukwazisa ngayo yonke into enxulumene ne-vaping.
Yintoni umphunga?
Xa “uvape,” uphefumla umphunga ukuze ufumane umphumo oyifunayo. Izixhobo zokufaka umphunga zidla ngokuba ziiatomizer ezisebenza ngebhetri, njengee-cigarettes, ezishushu izinto ezifana nenikotini, intsangu (kumazwe apho kusemthethweni), CBD kunye nezinongo ezahlukeneyo zokwenza inkungu okanye umphunga abasebenzisi abawuphefumlelayo. Ezi zixhobo ziqhele ukusetyenziselwa ukufudumeza ioyile, kodwa zisenokusetyenziswa ukwenza umthwebeba ube ngumphunga okanye iintyatyambo.
Ngaba ngumkhwa ombi kuwe?
Masiqale apha: Ayintle kuwe. Ngenxa yokuba iyinto yamva nje kwaye imveliso yomphunga ifana ne-Wild West, phantse akunakwenzeka ukutsho ukuba yintoni ebangela lo bhubhani okanye umbi kangakanani umphunga. Le nyaniso okwangoku ikwindawo yokulawula. I-FDA ayizilawuli njengemveliso yecuba okanye isixhobo sokuhanjiswa kweziyobisi njengoko zenza ii-inhalers. Akukho mntu unoxanduva lokuqinisekisa ukhuseleko apha. Kwaye ukunqongophala kommiselo kukwathetha ukuba abantu banokuvapa zonke iintlobo zezinto eziqingqiweyo.
Kubonakala ngathi ubhubhani esijongene nawo ngoku unxulumene nokusetyenziswa kwezinto ezisetyenziselwa ukuxutywa kwe-THC kunye ne-CBD oyile ngeenzame zokuzenza zibenengeniso ngakumbi kubavelisi. Izinto ezifana ne-vitamin E acetate zisetyenziselwa ukuhlambulula i-oyile kuba zixabiso eliphantsi kwaye zinokufana okufanayo kunye nombala. Oku mhlawumbi bekusenzeka ngesantya esicothayo kangangexesha elithile, kodwa kuhlala kungaziwa luluntu lwezonyango. Ngoku yinto esiyaziyo sonke kwaye ke ngoko sichonge kakhulu.
Noko ke, ngaba kubhetele kunokutshaya?
Uxolo kakhulu, andiqondi ukuba sinokutsho ngokuqinisekileyo. Ikhuselekile ngokwendalo okanye ikhuseleke kancinci. Ndingathanda mhlawumbi oku "njengendoda embi eyahlukileyo." Ukubeka nantoni na emiphungeni yakho ngaphandle kwamayeza omoya okanye achazwe ngugqirha ayilombono ilungileyo ukuba ufuna ukwandisa impilo yemiphunga yakho. Andicingi ukuba kukho idatha eyaneleyo okwangoku yokuthetha ukuba i-vaping "ikhuselekile" xa ithelekiswa nokutshaya.
Ingxaki isekutsalweni kweoli emiphungeni. Ioyile yeVaping ye-THC okanye ioyile ye-CBD ibonakala ibeka umngcipheko kubasebenzisi. Oku kunxulumene nenyaniso yokuba imiphunga yethu inovelwano kakhulu kuyo nayiphi na into ephefumlelweyo. Imiphunga yethu ayinayo indlela enkulu yokususa i-oyile kwimizila yethu yomoya okanye i-alveoli, ezi ziingxowa zomoya ezincinci ezisasazwe kuyo yonke imiphunga yethu apho kwenzeka khona utshintshiselwano lwegesi.
Ukuveza imiphunga kwezi zinto kunokubangela ukudumba kunye nobunzima bokuphefumla. Ngelishwa, asinalo idatha yexesha elide yokucebisa ukuba oku kuya kukhokelela kwisifo semiphunga esingapheliyo, kodwa into esiyaziyo kukuba ayikhuselekanga. Nangona uphando lusaqhubeka, okwangoku, asikaqiniseki ngokhuseleko lwazo naziphi na ezi mveliso. Ingcebiso yam kukuba ndithandabuze ngokhuseleko lwabo bobabini okwangoku.
Ukuba ingxaki ioli, kukhuselekile ngakumbi kwi-vape, akunjalo?
Kuxhomekeke ekubeni ubuza bani. Ezinye izazinzulu zithi ewe; abanye bathi hayi.
I-vaping njengendlela yokusetyenziswa isempilweni kakhulu kunokutshaya icuba, ngokusengqiqweni. Ingxaki kukuba uninzi lwabantu lugxile kwi-vaping substance, ehamba ngenkqubo yeekhemikhali ukuze ikhuphe kwaye igxile. Ke ukuthelekisa oko nokutshaya kufana nokuba uthelekisa ii-apile neeorenji.
Ngaba ezinye izixhobo zomphunga zikhuselekile okanye zikhuselekile?
Sibona izigulana ezinomonzakalo omkhulu wemiphunga ezisebenzise intaphane yeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokufunxa, kuqukwa neepeni zevape Akukho ndlela ibonakala inomngcipheko omkhulu kunenye.
Ngaba idosi kunye/okanye amaxesha amaninzi ibalulekile ngokomngcipheko?
Zombini zibonakala zibalulekile. Okukhona usenza i-vape, kokukhona le nto inamafutha ikhula kwimiphunga yakho. Sendiyithethile loo nto, kukho abantu abavapayo ngamaxesha athile, ngoko ke akubonakali ngathi lixesha elide lokwenzakala emiphungeni.
Ngaba kukho nayiphi na imingcipheko ekhethekileyo eyayanyaniswa ne-vaping phambi, ngexesha okanye emva komthambo?
Oku akwenziwanga uphando kakuhle, kodwa ngokungathandabuzekiyo, iingcali zemiphunga ziyayichasa le nkqubo. Nangona kungekho lwazi lwawo nawuphi na umngcipheko okhethekileyo kubasebenzisi abavape ngaphambi, ngexesha okanye emva komthambo; Umngcipheko wokulimala ngokusetyenziswa kwezi mveliso kubonakala ngathi yingcamango embi. Imiphunga ayenzelwanga ukuphefumla ezi zinto.
Wazi nini ukuba ixabisa impilo yakho?
Kwiminyaka emihlanu, ingaba "yintlekele epheleleyo," okanye iimveliso ziya kulawulwa ngcono kwaye siya kuqonda yonke into engcono.
Okwangoku, akukho datha yokhuseleko yexesha elide malunga nokuba i-vaping ichaphazela njani izicubu zemiphunga. I-FDA ayikavavanya izixhobo zomphunga, ngoko konke kusemoyeni (i-pun yenzelwe).
Ukuba uvape rhoqo, kubalulekile ukwazi iimpawu ze EVALI (umonzakalo emiphungeni ngenxa yokukhupha umphunga):
- Ukukhohlela, ukuphefumla kancinci, okanye intlungu esifubeni.
- Isicaphucaphu, ukugabha okanye urhudo.
- Ukudinwa, umkhuhlane okanye ukunciphisa umzimba.
Ukuba ngoku uvape kwaye unokhohlokhohlo, ubunzima bokuphefumla, okanye ukubetha kwentliziyo okonyukayo, bonana nogqirha wakho. Ukuba ezi zimpawu ziba mandundu okanye uziva ugula kakhulu, balekela kwigumbi likaxakeka. I-Vaping iye yanxulunyaniswa ne-acute respiratory distress syndrome, imeko apho ukugcwala kolwelo emiphungeni kuthintela ioksijini ukuba ijikeleze ngokufanelekileyo, enokuthi ibulale.
