I-ASH ibika ukuba malunga ne-2.4 yezigidi zabasebenzisi be-e-cigarette base-UK babekade betshaya, i-1.5 yezigidi zisatshaya kwaye i-350,000 ayizange itshaye.

Nangona kunjalo, i-28% yabantu abatshayayo bathi abazange bazame i-e-cigarettes - kwaye omnye kwabalishumi kubo boyika ukuba abakhuselekanga ngokwaneleyo.

Uninzi lwee-vapers zinika ingxelo zisebenzisa iisistim zomphunga ezinokuphinda zizaliseke, kodwa kubonakala ngathi kukho ukonyuka kokusetyenziswa kwe-vaping enye - ukusuka kwi-2.3% kulo nyaka uphelileyo ukuya kwi-15% namhlanje.

Kubonakala ngathi abantu abancinci baqhuba ukukhula, phantse isiqingatha sabantu abaneminyaka eyi-18 ukuya kwengama-24 ubudala bathi basebenzise izixhobo.

Iincasa zeziqhamo ezilahlwayo zevape elandelwa yi-menthol zezona zikhetho zidumileyo zokufunxa, ngokwengxelo-uphando lwe-YouGov lwabantu abadala abangaphezu kwe-13,000.

U-ASH uthe ngoku urhulumente ufuna iqhinga eliphuculweyo lokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwecuba.

USekela Mlawuli we-ASH uHazel Cheeseman uthe: “Ngoku kukho abantu abasebenzisa i-e-cigarette ngokuphindwe kahlanu kunabo ngo-2012, kwaye izigidi zabantu bazisebenzisa njengenxalenye yokuyeka ukutshaya.

Njengomkhokeli owaziwayo kwihlabathi jikelele kwinkalo yokhathalelo lwempilo, iNkonzo yezeMpilo yeSizwe (i-NHS), inkqubo yenkonzo yezempilo yendalo yonke yamahhala eyadalayo, idunyiswa ngamazwe emhlabeni jikelele ngenxa "yeendleko zempilo eziphantsi kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwezempilo".

I-Royal College of Physicians ixelele ngokucacileyo oogqirha ukuba bakhuthaze i-e-cigarettes ngokubanzi kunokwenzeka kubantu abafuna ukuyeka ukutshaya. Ingcebiso evela kwiMpilo yoLuntu yaseNgilani yeyokuba imingcipheko yokufunxa umphunga iliqhezu nje lemingcipheko yokutshaya.

Ngokutsho kwe-BBC, e-Birmingham, enyakatho yeNgilani, amaziko amabini amakhulu ezonyango awathengisi kuphela i-e-cigarettes, kodwa aphinde amise iindawo zokutshaya i-e-cigarette, abazibiza ngokuba "yimfuno yempilo yoluntu".

Ngokwezibalo ezivela kwiBritish Health Organization, i-e-cigarettes inokunyusa izinga lempumelelo yokuyeka ukutshaya malunga ne-50%, kwaye inokunciphisa ingozi yempilo ubuncinane nge-95% xa kuthelekiswa ne-cigarettes.

Urhulumente waseBrithani kunye noluntu lwezonyango luxhasa i-e-cigarettes kakhulu, ngokukodwa ngenxa yengxelo ezimeleyo yokuhlaziywa kweMpilo yoLuntu yaseNgilani (PHE), i-arhente elawulayo phantsi koMphathiswa wezeMpilo waseBrithani kwi-2015.
