Ke lilo mālie nei ka vaping ʻōpio i pilikia ma Nova Scotia. No ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka pilikia, ua hui pū ka Lung Association of Nova Scotia me nā haumāna o ka UPEI's Faculty of Nursing e hoʻonaʻauao i nā ʻōpio ma ka ʻāina i ka pōʻino o ka vaping.
Ua mākaʻikaʻi nā haumāna kahu hānai a me nā loea mai ka hui i nā kula 19 ma ka ʻāina i kēia hāʻule e kamaʻilio me nā keiki kula waena e pili ana i nā pilikia e pili ana i ka e-cigarettes. Ua kamaʻilio lākou i nā haumāna papa 7 e pili ana i nā pilikia e lawe ai i ka vaping i nā keiki.
Wahi a ka Luna Hoʻokele o nā ʻoihana o ka Lung Association of Nova Scotia, ʻo Julia Hartley ka pahuhopu o kēia hana e kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka ʻōpio mai ka lawe ʻana i ka vaping ma ke ʻano he maʻamau. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e like me ka Lung Association Study, ʻo ka awelika makahiki no Nova Scotia e hoʻomaka ai i ka vaping he 151/2. Hoʻokumu ʻia i kēia mau ʻike i hui pū ai ka hui me nā haumāna kahu hānai e ʻimi i nā ʻōpio ʻōpio ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana e vape.
Ua hōʻike hou aku ʻo Hartley i kahi noiʻi hou i hana ʻia e ka Lung Association ma 2018 ua ʻike ʻo 40% o nā ʻōpio Nova Scotia ma waena o nā papa 7 a me 12 i vape i loko o nā lā 30 i hala o ke aʻo ʻana. Akā ʻaʻole ʻo vaping wale nō ka pilikia āna e hopohopo nei. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia aia ʻo Nova Scotia ka nui loa o ka poʻe puhi puhi ʻōpio ma ka ʻāina.
Manaʻo ʻo ia aia kahi pilina ma waena o nā pae kiʻekiʻe o ka vaping a me ka puhi paka. He 2018 Kanaka Kanaka Kanaka Paka, Alcohol and Drugs Survey ua ua 16% o Nova scotia nā ʻōpio ua puhi. He ʻelua paha kēia o ka awelika aupuni.
Wahi a Alyssa Cahill, he haumāna kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Nova Scotia ma mua a he haumāna kahu hānai ʻehā makahiki i kēia manawa he ʻāpana o ka hui e kipa ana i nā kula, ua lilo ka ʻāina i ka pōʻino loa. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i kona wā i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻaʻole i laha ka vape e like me ia i kēia lā ʻoiai ua hoʻomaka kekahi o kāna mau hoa papa i ka vape i kekahi manawa.
Manaʻo ʻo ia ʻo ka pilikia nui i kēia lā ʻo ka manaʻo o ka poʻe ʻōpio he hiki iā lākou ke vape i nā hopena pule a i kekahi mau hola ʻē aʻe a ʻaʻole ia he pilikia no lākou. ʻAʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia no ka mea aia kekahi mau huahana vape i nā pae kiʻekiʻe o ka nicotine kahi mea hoʻohui. ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia mau huahana i nā manawa liʻiliʻi e hoʻohuli i kekahi i mea hoʻohui i kēia manawa i ka vape mau.
I ka huakaʻi hui i nā kula, ua mālama lākou i nā papa papa kahi i kūkākūkā ai lākou i nā kemika i loaʻa i nā huahana vaping a me kā lākou hopena lōʻihi i ke olakino o nā mea hoʻohana. Wahi a Hartley, ʻoiai ʻaʻole maopopo ka hopena lōʻihi o ka vaping, hāʻawi ka puhi paka i nā hōʻike kūpono e pili ana i nā huahana vaping e hana ai no ka mea he nui nā kemika like.
Manaʻo ka hui e hoʻopau kēia mau kau me nā haumāna i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka vaping. Ua hoʻohiki ʻo 76% o nā haumāna i komo i nā papa papa ʻaʻole e hoʻāʻo i ka vaping. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo 85% o ka poʻe i komo i kēia manawa ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā huahana vaping a ke hana nei lākou i nā hoʻoholo maikaʻi aʻe. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o nā hopena i manaʻolana ʻia e nā mea hoʻonohonoho o ka papahana. Wahi a Hartley, e nānā ka hui pūmāmā i ka hana hou ʻana me nā keiki kula i ka wā e hiki mai ana inā loaʻa iā lākou ke kālā.
