Ocwaningweni olwanyatheliswa kumagazini i-Nature Medicine, uWarner nozakwabo babheka ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ngokombono womhlaba wonke, futhi bacwaninga amazwe akhuthaza ugwayi we-elekthronikhi njengendlela yokuyeka ukubhema kanye namazwe angawukhuthazi ugwayi we-elekthronikhi.

Ababhali bathi nakuba i-United States neCanada beqaphela izinzuzo ezingaba khona zokusebenzisa i-e-cigarettes, bakholelwa ukuthi abukho ubufakazi obanele bokuncoma i-e-cigarettes ukuyeka ukubhema.

Nokho, e-UK naseNew Zealand, ukwesekwa okuphezulu nokukhuthazwa kogwayi we-elekthronikhi njengendlela yokuqala yokwelapha yokuyeka ukubhema.

U-Warner uthe: Sikholelwa ukuthi ohulumeni, amaqembu ochwepheshe bezokwelapha kanye nabasebenzi bezempilo ngabanye e-United States, eCanada nase-Australia kufanele bacabangele kakhulu amandla kagwayi we-e-cigarette ekukhuthazeni ukuyeka ukubhema.Ugwayi we-elekthronikhi awusona isixazululo sokuqeda umonakalo obangelwa ukubhema, kodwa ungaba neqhaza ekugcwalisekeni kwalomgomo omuhle wezempilo womphakathi.

Ucwaningo lwangaphambili lukaWarner luthole isamba esikhulu sobufakazi bokuthi i-e-cigarettes iyithuluzi eliphumelelayo lokuyeka ukubhema kubantu abadala baseMelika.Unyaka ngamunye, amakhulu ezinkulungwane zabantu e-United States abulawa izifo ezihlobene nokubhema.
