"Abantu abadala abaninzi abafuna ukuyeka ukutshaya abanako ukuyenza," utshilo uWarner kwingxelo."I-e-cigarettes sisixhobo esitsha sokuqala sokubanceda kumashumi eminyaka. Nangona kunjalo, kuphela inani elincinci labantu abatshayayo kunye nabaqeqeshi bezempilo abanolwazi ngexabiso labo."

Kuphononongo olupapashwe kwiphepha le-Nature Medicine, uWarner kunye noogxa bakhe bajonga i-e-cigarettes kwimbono yehlabathi, kwaye bafunda amazwe akhuthaza i-e-cigarettes njengendlela yokuyeka ukutshaya kunye namazwe angazange akhuthaze i-e-cigarettes.

Ababhali bathi nangona i-United States kunye neKhanada yaqaphela iingenelo ezinokuthi zisebenzise i-e-cigarettes, bakholelwa ukuba akukho bungqina obaneleyo bokucebisa i-e-cigarettes ukuyeka ukutshaya.

Nangona kunjalo, e-UK naseNew Zealand, inkxaso ephezulu kunye nokukhuthazwa kwe-e-cigarette njengokhetho lokuqala lokuyeka ukutshaya unyango.

UWarner uthe: Sikholelwa ukuba oorhulumente, amaqela eengcali zonyango kunye nabaqeqeshi bezempilo e-United States, eCanada nase-Australia kufuneka banike ingqalelo ngakumbi kwi-e-cigarettes enokubakho ekukhuthazeni ukuyeka ukutshaya.I-e-cigarettes ayisona isisombululo sokuphelisa umonakalo obangelwa kukutshaya, kodwa inokuba negalelo ekufezekiseni le njongo yezempilo yoluntu ehloniphekileyo.

Uphando lwangaphambili lukaWarner lufumene ubungqina obuninzi bokuthi i-e-cigarettes sisixhobo esisebenzayo sokuyeka ukutshaya kubantu abadala baseMelika.Nyaka ngamnye, amakhulu amawaka abantu eUnited States abulawa zizifo ezinxulumene nokutshaya.

Baphinde bakhankanya ukutyunjwa kwe-FDA kwezinye iimpawu ze-e-cigarette njengezilungele ukukhusela impilo yoluntu, umgangatho ofunekayo ukufumana imvume yokuthengisa.Abaphandi bathi eli nyathelo ngokungangqalanga lithetha ukuba i-FDA ikholelwa ukuba i-e-cigarettes inokunceda abantu abathile ababengeke benze njalo ukuba bayeke ukutshaya.

U-Warner kunye noogxa baphetha ukuba ukwamkelwa kunye nokukhuthazwa kwe-e-cigarettes njengesixhobo sokuyeka ukutshaya kunokuxhomekeka kwimigudu eqhubekayo yokunciphisa ukubonakaliswa kunye nokusetyenziswa kwe-e-cigarettes ngabantu abatsha abangazange babheme.Ezi njongo zimbini zinokubakho yaye zifanele zihlale ngaxeshanye.
