Ua hoʻokuʻu ka Food and Drug Administration i ka noi a kahi mea hana e kūʻai aku i ka menthol-nā vape ʻono ma ka Pōʻakolu, e hōʻike ana i ka nele o nā pōmaikaʻi olakino i ka lehulehu a me ka hoʻoweliweli paha nā vapers ʻōpio.
Wahi a ka FDA, ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻo Logic Technology Development i kāna mau waiwai menthol i ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe ma mua o nā huahana non-flavored e kōkua i ka poʻe e hoʻōki a hōʻemi i ka puhi paka. Ua pāpā ke keʻena i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka hui i ka Logic Power a me Logic Pro menthol wai-e nā huahana ma muli o ka hiki ke hoʻowalewale i ka poʻe puhi puhi ʻōpio e makemake i nā vape menthol.
"I kēia manawa, ʻaʻole i hāʻawi ka mea noi i ka ʻikepili ʻepekema kūpono e hōʻike ai i ka pōmaikaʻi hiki i nā vapers makua ma mua o nā pōʻino i nā ʻōpio," wahi a Brian King, ke poʻo o ka FDA's Center for Tobacco Products.
Ua pāpā ka FDA i nā pahu pahu hoʻohana i hoʻohana ʻia i loko nā peni vape hāʻawi nikotine i 2020, ʻoiai ua ʻae ʻia nā waiwai menthol. Ma muli o ke kaohi ʻana o ka FDA i nā ʻono nicotine, ua hoʻololi nui ʻia nā mea kūʻai liʻiliʻi i ka menthol vaporizers a i ʻole nā huahana paka synthetic. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā huahana paka synthetic disposable a kūʻai ʻia i nā mea ʻono kaulana i waena o nā vapers ʻōpio.
Wahi a ka 2022 National Youth Tobacco Survey, 14.1 pākēneka o nā kula kiʻekiʻe a me 3.3 pākēneka o nā kula waena i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i hoʻokahi manawa i nā lā 30 i hala. Ma kahi o 85 pākēneka o ka poʻe puhi puhi ʻōpio i ʻai i nā e-cigarette ʻono, aʻo kahi o 27 pākēneka i makemake i nā e-cigarette me ka menthol-flavored.
Wahi a Matthew Myers, ka pelekikena o ka Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, ʻo ka neʻe ʻana o ka FDA e hoʻopau i ka palapala noi a kekahi mea hana e hoʻohele i nā vape menthol-flavored he hana koʻikoʻi i ka pani ʻana i kahi "loopole nui" e hiki ai i nā huahana menthol ma ka mākeke.
Eia nō naʻe, ua paipai ʻo ia i ka FDA e hoʻihoʻi i nā vape synthetic a me ka menthol-flavored i hana ʻia e nā mea hana ʻē aʻe mai ka mākeke.
"Inā hahai ka FDA i kēia hoʻoholo ma ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe hope ʻana i ka mākeke o nā mea ʻono, disposable, a me nā e-cigarettes nicotine synthetic," i hoʻohui ai ʻo Myers, "e hana ʻo ia i kāna hana nui loa i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka e-cigarette ʻōpio a hiki i kēia lā."
Ua kākoʻo pū ka American Society of Clinical Oncology a me ka American Association for Cancer Research no ka moratorium ma waena o nā e-cigarettes a me nā mea vaping i ka Pōʻakolu. ʻO ka ʻōlelo hoʻolaha, i paʻi ʻia i loko o nā nūpepa olakino ʻo Journal of Clinical Oncology a me ka Medical Clinical Cancer Research, ua hoʻohālikelike i ka pono o ka "hana koke e kāpae i nā hana predatory o ka paka a pale i ke olakino lehulehu."
ʻO nā hopohopo olakino lōʻihi, e like me nā hui, e mau ʻole a hiki i ka wā e hana ʻia ai ka noiʻi hou.
ʻOiai ke hoʻokuʻu nei nā peni vape i nā mea liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka cigakeke, ʻōlelo nā hui e pili ana ka ʻikepili mua i nā hāmeʻa vaping i ka "pōʻino DNA a me ka mumū, ʻo ia mau mea ʻelua he mau hana koʻikoʻi i ka ulu ʻana o ka maʻi kanesa."
Wahi a nā hui, hiki i ka paka ke alakaʻi i ka addiction, hoʻonāwaliwali i ka ʻōnaehana pale, a hoʻonui i ke koko.
Eia kekahi, ua hōʻike nā hui e hōʻike ana ka noiʻi ʻana he 2.9 a 4 mau manawa ʻoi aku ka puhi ʻana o kahi ʻōpio ma mua o ka poʻe ʻaʻole vape.
"ʻO ka laha ʻana o (vaping) i waena o nā ʻōpio a me ka poʻe ʻaʻole puhipuhi he pilikia olakino olakino e hiki ke hoʻohuli i nā makahiki he nui i mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka paka," wahi a ka Pelekikena AACR ʻo Lisa Coussens ma kahi ʻōlelo.
