ʻO kahi noiʻi hou i paʻi ʻia ma ka Ka PepaʻAiʻAiʻAmelika o ka Medicine Preventive hōʻike i ka lāhui a me ka moe kolohe he mau mea nui i ka hoʻoholo ʻana i ka laha o hoʻohana e-cigarette i waena o nā ʻōpio ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ke ʻimi nei i ka ʻikepili i hōʻiliʻili ʻia ma waena o 2015 a me 2019 mai 38,000 mau haumāna kula kiʻekiʻe ma waena o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻokoʻa o ka lāhui, ka lāhui a me ka moe kolohe i ka hopena o ka poʻe ʻōpio.
Manaʻo nā haʻawina mua ma kahi o ka hapalua o nā haumāna kula kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻāina i hoʻāʻo i ka vape ma ka liʻiliʻi hoʻokahi. Ma ka manawa like e pili ana i kahi hapakolu o nā ʻōpio āpau i ka ʻāina i hoʻāʻo i ka vaping e hoʻohana mau i ka e-cigarettes. Wahi a ka CDC, ua ulu ka nui o nā haumāna kula kiʻekiʻe e hoʻohana ana i ka e-cigarette ma luna o 1000% i 2020 a i 26.5% mai 2.4% i 2019.
ʻO ka pilikia me kēia mau helu helu, ʻo ka nicotine i loaʻa i loko o nā huahana paka me ka e-cigarettes he mea hoʻohui nui. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o nā ʻōpio me ka e-cigarettes hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohui maʻalahi i kēia mau huahana a aia i kahi ʻoi aku ka nui o ka lilo ʻana i mea puhi paka maʻamau. ʻO kēia ka mea i hoʻomaopopo i nā mea noiʻi e nānā hou aku i ka pilikia vaping a ʻike i nā kumu pilikia no nā hui ʻōpio like ʻole.
ʻO ke aʻo ʻana i hana ʻia e Yale University School of Medicine's postdoctoral fellow Juhan Lee a me Annenberg School for Communication associate professor Andy Tan i nānā e hoʻopiha i ka ʻike hou aku e pili ana i ka "vaping prevalence among. opiopio ka poʻe ma ke kuʻekuʻe ʻana o nā ʻano ʻike liʻiliʻi ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi". ʻOiaʻiʻo i kāna ʻoihana ua hāʻawi ka haʻawina i nā ʻike koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ka laha ʻana o ka e-cigarettes ma waena o nā ʻōpio heterosexual a me nā lesbian i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā hui lāhui.
Ua ʻike ka haʻawina ʻoi aku ka nui o ka e-cigarettes i nā kaikamahine lesbian ʻeleʻele (18.2%) ma mua o nā kaikamahine heterosexual ʻeleʻele (7.1%). Pēlā nō, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka e-cigarette i nā kaikamahine lesbian multiracial (17.9%) ma mua o nā kaikamahine heterosexual multiracial (11.9%). Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka e-cigarette ma waena o nā kaikamahine lesbian keʻokeʻo (9.1%) ma mua o nā kaikamahine heterosexual keʻokeʻo (16.1%). ʻAʻohe ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o nā hui keikikāne ʻokoʻa.
Ua ʻae kēia mau ʻike me nā noiʻi mua i hōʻike ʻia ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka e-cigarettes ma waena o nā lesbians. Manaʻo ʻia ua hoʻohana lākou i nā huahana e-cigarette ma ke ʻano he hana hoʻopiʻi no ke koʻikoʻi e pili ana i kā lākou moe kolohe. ʻO ka mea maʻamau, ʻoi aku ke koʻikoʻi o ka ʻōpio kāne kāne i ke kaiāulu. ʻO kēia ke kumu no ka hoʻokae ʻia a hoʻoweliweli paha lākou.
Aia kekahi ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā pae prevalence ma waena o nā keikikāne a me nā kaikamahine. Aia ka ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o nā kaikamahine a me nā keikikāne. Manaʻo nā mea kākau o kēia noiʻi ma muli o ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā huahana e-cigarette e kuhikuhi ana i nā wahine queer. Nā haʻawina i hala hōʻike i ka hōʻike ʻana o nā wahine bisexual ʻeleʻele a me Hispanic i nā hoʻolaha huahana paka ma mua o nā wahine heterosexual keʻokeʻo. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Tan, kekahi o nā mea kākau o nā haʻawina, "No nā makahiki, ua manaʻo ka ʻoihana paka i ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā hui i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia, inā ma nā hui, nā kaola, nā hanana Pride, a i ʻole ma nā nūpepa." Manaʻo ʻo ia e hoʻohana ʻia ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia haʻawina ma ke ʻano he puna no nā haʻawina hou e kōkua ai i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā pilikia e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka baka ma waena o nā ʻōpio.
