ZYN 101: He aha ka mea e ʻike ai e pili ana i ka mea hoʻohui hou o ka paka nui
Me ka emi ʻana o ka puhi paka ma muli o ka holomua o ka hoʻoikaika kino olakino, ke ʻimi nei ka ʻoihana paka i nā ala hou e hoʻopaʻa ai i nā ʻōpio. ʻOiaihua paka pakaaia ma ka mākeke no nā makahiki, ua hoʻomaka nā ʻeke nicotine hou "smokeless and spitless" e loaʻa i ka kaulana ma muli o ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka lehulehu. ʻO Zyn, ka mea i komo i ka mākeke ma 2014, ua loaʻa iā TikTok-fueled kaulana a ua hoʻomaka ka lehulehu e ʻike. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi he 641% ka piʻi ʻana o ke kūʻai aku o nā huahana ma waena o 2019 a me 2022, akā ʻo 2.9% wale nō o nā pākeke US i hoʻohana i kahi ʻeke nicotine. Hōʻike kēia i ka piʻi nui a weliweli o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻōpio. Eia ka mea e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike e pili ana i kēia mau huahana a me ke ʻano o ka pōʻino.
ʻO ka hoʻomohala ʻana o nā huahana paka hiki ʻole ke puhi
ʻO nā ʻeke nikotina ka mea hou loa o nā huahana non-combustible. Hoʻohana likesnus, he ʻeke waha kuha ʻole i loko o ka lau paka i ʻoki ʻia, ma ke kau ʻana ma waena o ka lehelehe a me ka ʻōpala, aia i loko o kēia mau ʻeke ka pauda nicotine ma kahi o ka lau paka. Hele mai lākou i nā ʻono like ʻole a loaʻa i nā ʻano ikaika nicotine like ʻole. Ua kūʻai ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano he mea ʻoluʻolu no ka kuha ʻana i ka paka no ka mea ʻaʻohe pono e kuha (e like me ka nau ʻana i ka paka), a ʻaʻole hoʻopuka nā ʻeke i ke ala, ka uahi a me ka mahu. He mea maʻalahi kēia e hūnā a hoʻohana i nā ʻeke ma nā wahi i hiki ʻole ke hoʻohana ʻia nā mea paka e like me ke kula.
Ma muli o ko lākou mau hiʻohiʻona ʻaʻohe, ʻaʻala ʻole, manaʻo nui ka poʻe he ʻoi aku ka palekana o kēia mau ʻeke nicotine i ka paka. Mai hoʻopunipuni ʻoe. Ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi 2022 o nā huahana ʻeke nicotine he 26 o nā mea hoʻohālike i loaʻa i nā kemika kumu a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e like me: ammonia, chromium, formaldehyde, nickel, pH adjusters, a me ka paʻakai nicotine. ʻO ka hapa nui e pili ana, aia nā ʻeke nicotine i nā pae kiʻekiʻe o ka nicotine he mea hoʻohui a hōʻino i ka poʻe ʻōpio i kēlā me kēia ʻano.
Loaʻa i nā ʻeke ʻo Nicotine ke kaulana o nā ʻōpio
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia e ka leka uila ʻo kēia mau ʻeke nicotine "i manaʻo ʻia no nā poʻe 21+ makahiki e kōkua iā lākou e haʻalele i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā huahana paka kahiko." Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole lākou he lāʻau lapaʻau i ʻae ʻia e FDA, a ke hōʻike nei nā noiʻi i kēia manawa ʻo ka piʻi nui loa o nā mea hoʻohana ma waena o nā ʻōpio. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo nā poʻe ʻAmelika e hoʻohana nei i nā ʻeke nicotine i kēia manawa, ma kahi o 35% wale nō i puhi i ka paka ma mua a ʻo ia mau mea, he 10% wale nō i hiki ke hoʻōki i ka puhi a hoʻololi i nā ʻeke. ʻAʻole kēia e haʻalele, ke hoʻololi wale nei kēia i kahi huahana paka/nikotine ʻē aʻe i kūʻai ʻia e ka ʻoihana paka e mālama i nā mea kūʻai aku i ke ola.
Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā poʻe mākua i hoʻohana i nā ʻeke nicotine he 21-24 mau makahiki, akā ma luna o ka hapaha o ka poʻe e hoʻohana nei i kēia huahana he poʻe ma lalo o ka makahiki - 18-20 mau makahiki. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina hou i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 2023 he 400,000 mau ʻōpio i ka US i hōʻike ʻia i kēia manawa e hoʻohana nei i nā ʻeke nicotine, ʻo ia ka pālua mai 2021. ʻO kahi ʻano e pili ana i nā ʻeke nicotine he mea addicting, 73% o ka poʻe ʻōpio i hoʻāʻo i nā ʻeke nicotine ke hoʻohana nei lākou i kēia manawa. Hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka mea hoʻohana maʻamau e ʻai i ka ½ hiki i kēlā me kēia lā a i ʻole 8-12 mau ʻeke nicotine. Ma muli o ka nicotine maʻiʻo o ka ʻeke e ʻai ʻia ana, e ʻōlelo kākou he ʻeke Zyn 6 mg, ʻo ka nicotine i ʻai ʻia e like me ka puhi ʻana ma kahi o 3 mau ʻeke cigareki a i ʻole 1 ½ e-cigarette pods o 2% wai vape i kēlā me kēia lā.
