ʻO ka hopena hoolaha e Kauka Brian King e lawe ana i ka mana o ke alakaʻi ma ka Food and Drug Administration's Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) i Iulai i mea kāhāhā i nā mea he nui i loko o ke kaiāulu Vaping. ʻO kēia no ka mea ʻo Kauka King He maikaʻi ʻole ka nānā ʻana i ka e-cigarettes a ʻaʻole lawa kona ʻike no ka vaping, e alakaʻi ana iā ia e hana i nā hoʻoholo liʻiliʻi.
ʻO ka lua, pono ka FDA e hoʻoponopono i kāna mau lula e pili ana i ke kālā no ke kikowaena e hoʻoponopono ana i ka ʻāpana paka. ʻOiai ʻo nā kikowaena FDA ʻē aʻe e hoʻolako kālā ʻia e ka mea ʻauhau ma o ka waihona kālā o ka ʻaha kūkā, ʻo ka Loaʻa kālā ʻia ʻo Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) e nā uku hoʻohana i uku ʻia e na mea hana paka. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, loaʻa kēia mau uku mai nā papa ʻeono o nā huahana paka, a ʻaʻole i waena o kēia mau mea ʻeono ka e-cigarettes a me ka hapa nui o nā huahana vaping.
ʻO ke ʻano o ia mea, pono ka CTP e hoʻohana i nā kālā mai ke kūʻai ʻana aku i kekahi o nā huahana paka maikaʻi loa e like me ka cigakeke e noiʻi a hoʻoponopono i nā huahana liʻiliʻi e like me ka e-cigarettes. ʻAʻole pili kēia mau huahana liʻiliʻi i kēia manawa i kekahi o nā uku e hāʻawi pololei i ka CTP. ʻOiai ke manaʻo ʻia nei he ʻokoʻa ka CTP, ua kānalua kēia hoʻonohonoho kālā i nā mea he nui i ke kaiāulu vaping inā hiki ke hoʻokō ʻia. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hiki ʻana mai o kekahi mea i manaʻoʻiʻo ʻole i kēia mau huahana paka liʻiliʻi i ka pōʻino o ka CTP e paʻakikī hou i nā mea e pili ana i ke kumu kālā nui no ke kikowaena.
Ma waho aʻe o kēia lā, loaʻa iā mākou nā kaukani o nā huahana paka liʻiliʻi i ka FDA e kali ana i ka ʻae. ʻO ka pilikia me Kauka King, ʻoiai ʻo ia e hana ana ma nā Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ua ʻōlelo ākea ʻo ia e kūʻē i ka e-cigarette a me nā huahana paka liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe me ka hilinaʻi ʻana i kekahi mau haʻawina hilinaʻi ʻole. Eia kekahi laʻana, ma 2017 a 2019, Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka King i kēia i nā manawa he nui e pili ana i ka e-cigarettes:
“Ke lawe nei ka hoʻolaha i ka lio i ka wai. Ke inu nei nā mea ʻono iā lākou a ke mālama nei ka nicotine iā lākou e hoʻi hou mai.
Eia hou, oiai e kamailio ana mea ʻāpana ultrafine i loko o ka e-cigarette Ua alakaʻi ʻo Kauka King i nā moʻolelo wahaheʻe a me ka ʻike hewa ʻole e pili ana i ka e-cigarette a me nā huahana vaping ʻē aʻe. Ua hui pū ʻo ia me nā anti-vapers i ka wā ma mua. Eia kekahi laʻana,ʻo ia nā haʻawina i kākau pū ʻia ma ka vaping i hoʻokumu ʻia e Michael R. Bloomberg nāna i hāʻawi i nā miliona miliona i nā hana e ʻimi nei e pāpā i nā huahana ʻono liʻiliʻi e like me ka paka paka a me ka e-cigarettes. ʻO kēia ka mea i emi iho ai ʻo Dr. King ma mua o ka maikaʻi e alakaʻi i ka CTP.
ʻO ka mea ʻoi aku ka weliweli no ka poʻe he nui i ka ʻoihana vaping ʻo ia ka hana a ke Aliʻi i ka huikau i ka lehulehu e pili ana i nā hihia ākea o nā ʻeha ʻeha.

Akā ʻo ka nānā ʻana i kāna mau hana i hala, ʻo ia ke kanaka kūpono loa no ka hana CTP. ʻAʻole hilinaʻi ʻo ia i nā huahana liʻiliʻi i manaʻo ʻia e hoʻoponopono ʻia. No laila ua hana pū ʻo ia me ka poʻe e hana nei e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kēia mau huahana. Akā, ʻoi aku ka makaʻu i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he moʻolelo kāna o ka mālama ʻole ʻana i ka ʻikepili ʻepekema. Hōʻike kēia i ka pōʻino no ke kaiāulu vaping.

Hiki ke loaʻa kēia ma ka haʻawina āna i kākau pū ai i ka makahiki 2016 i ʻike ʻia he 84.5% o nā mea hoʻohana e-cigarette e hoʻohana ana i ka e-cigarette no ka hoʻomaha a i ʻole nā kumu olakino. Hāʻawi kēia i kahi manaʻolana i hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Dr Kingi i nā mea hana kūpono e kōkua i nā pākeke e makemake e haʻalele i ka puhi paka e loaʻa i nā huahana paka kūpono e pono ai lākou ma kā lākou huakaʻi.
