Abathengisi be-Synthetic Nicotine Vapes kwi-Instagram baSkirting FDA Rules

Izinto eziphambili zokuThatha

I-FDA ibambe phantsi kwiintengiso zemidiya yoluntu kwiivapes ezine-nicotine yokwenziwa.

Amashumi asibhozo anesixhenxe eepesenti ezi ntengiso ziqulethe ubuxoki malunga neevapes ezikhobokisayo

Iinguqulelo ezithandekayo zeemveliso zevape nazo zikhuthazwa kakhulu, zonyusa imingcipheko kubathengi abancinci

LWESITHATHU, Oct. 9, 2024 (IiNdaba zoSuku lweMpilo) -- Ulawulo loKutya kunye neziyobisi lwaseMelika ngoku lugunyazisa izilumkiso zempilo ezomeleleyo xa iivapes ezine-nicotine yokwenziwa zibhengezwa kwi-Instagram nakwamanye amajelo asekuhlaleni.

Ingxaki kukuba, uninzi lwabathengisi abathobeli loo mithetho yenzelwe ukukhusela abantwana, uphando olutsha lufumanisa.

Yinto entsha, utshilo umbhali wesifundoUTraci Hong, unjingalwazi wezonxibelelwano kwiYunivesithi yaseBoston.

“Ngenxa yokuba inikotini eyenziweyo ayisuki ecubeni, yabaleka amagunya olawulo e-FDA de kwaba ngu-Epreli ka-2022,” utshilo uHong kwingxelo yeendaba zaseyunivesithi. “Esi sikroba silawulayo savumela abavelisi ukuba bazalise imarike ngeemveliso ezenziweyo zenikotini ezinencasa ebezivaliwe ngaphambili kwiimveliso zecuba lemveli ngenxa yomtsalane wazo kulutsha.

“Ukongeza, ezi mveliso bezisoloko zithengiswa 'njengenikotini engenacuba,' ikhuthaza iimbono ezakhayo kunye novavanyo olunokubakho kulutsha," wongeze watsho.

Uphononongo lwalukhokelwa yiYunivesithi yasePennsylvania postdoctoral umfoJiaxi Wukwaye ipapashwe kutshanje kwijenaliI-JAMA Network Open.

Kuphononongo, uWu kunye noogxa bahlalutya umxholo wezithuba ezingaphezu kwe-2,000 ze-Instagram ezithengisa iintlobo ezahlukeneyo ze-nicotine e-cigarette brand.

Umahluko kuphela phakathi kwe-nicotine yokwenziwa kunye neyendalo kukuba eyokuqala idalwe kwilebhu ngelixa le yokugqibela ivela kwisityalo secuba.

"Nangona kuncinci okwaziwayo malunga neziphumo zempilo ezinxulumene nokusetyenziswa kwe-nicotine yokwenziwa, ifana ngokwesayensi ne-nicotine ephuma kwicuba kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba ineempawu ezifanayo zokukhobokisa," ngokutsho kweendaba ze-UPenn.

I-Nicotine kulo naluphi na uhlobo inokuba yingozi ngakumbi kubantwana nakulutsha, ichaphazele kakubi ukukhula kwengqondo kunye nempilo yengqondo, abaphandi bongeza.

Ikhuthazwe lolo lwazi, i-FDA ngo-2022 yayalela ukuba zonke iimveliso ze-nicotine zevape "zibandakanye isilumkiso sezempilo esithatha i-20% yendawo yentengiso kwaye sivele kwindawo ephezulu yentengiso," ngokutsho kweendaba ze-UCSF.

Kodwa kuhlalutyo lwabo olutsha olusekwe ku-Instagram, uWu noHong bafumanise ukuba kuphela yi-13% yeentengiso ezinezilumkiso ezihambelana nezigunyaziso ze-FDA.

Umzekelo, izilumkiso zempilo zinokubekwa kude nenxalenye ephezulu yentengiso, nangona "izithuba [zevape] ezinencasa ezinezilumkiso zezempilo ezibekwe kwindawo ephezulu yomfanekiso zifumana ukuthandwa ngakumbi kunezithuba ezinezilumkiso kwindawo esezantsi," abaphandi baphawule.

Abavelisi bee-vapes zokwenziwa baye bathengisa i-e-cigarette enencasa enencasa eyenziweyo, kunye neentengiso "zihlala zibonisa iziqhamo ezibukekayo okanye izimuncumuncu," ngokutsho kwabaphandi.

"Iinkampani zikwavelisa iimveliso kwiincasa ebezivaliwe ngaphambili kwiimveliso zecuba zemveli kunye ne-e-cigarettes esekwe kwi-cartridge, njenge-cotton candy kunye ne-bubblegum, ulutsha olutsalwa kakhulu kuyo," utshilo u-UPenn weendaba.
