Kule minyaka embalwa edlule, ugwayi we-elekthronikhi ukhule ekudumeni—kanjalo nedumela lawo lokuba “ngcono kuwena” kunogwayi wangempela. Ingxenye yalokho kungenxa yokuthi ababhemayo abaqinile bayawasebenzisa ukuze banciphise umkhuba wabo, futhi ingxenye yalokho kungenxa yokumaketha okuhle. Ngemuva kwakho konke, ngama-e-cigs, ungavota noma kuphi ngaphandle kokukhanyisa noma ukubuza i-nicotine ngemuva kwalokho. Kepha i-e-cigarettes, futhi ikakhulukazi iJuul — enye yemikhiqizo yakamuva kagwayi we-e-cigarette - kungenzeka ibhekele lokhuOkuningi abantu babanjwa i-nicotine. Ngakho-ke zonke izinto ezicatshangwayo, ingabe uJuul mubi kuwe?

Kuyini uJuul?

UJuul ungugwayi we-elekthronikhi owafika emakethe ngo-2015, futhi umkhiqizo ngokwawo ufana kakhulu namanye ama-e-cigarette noma ama-vapes, kusho uJonathan Philip Winickoff, MD, uprofesa osizayo wezingane e-Harvard Medical School kanye nochwepheshe wezempilo yomndeni. kanye nokuyeka ukubhema eMassachusetts General Hospital. Inezithako ezifanayo: uketshezi olugcwele i-nicotine, izincibilikisi nezinongo.

Kodwa ukuma kwe-USB kwale divayisi yikhona okwenza ikwazi ukuthandwa kakhulu yintsha nentsha, okuyibona abakha iningi labathengi bakaJuul, kusho uDkt Winickoff. Idizayini yenza kube lula ukufihla, futhi ixhuma ngqo kwikhompyutha yakho ukushisa nokushaja. Kube nemibiko yezingane ezizisebenzisayo ngemuva kothisha, futhi ezinye izikole zize zivimbe ama-USB ngokuphelele ukuze kukhishwe uJuul emakilasini. Futhi nokho, kulo nyaka, uJuul usevele ubhekele ngaphezu kwengxenye yakho konke ukuthengiswa kwezimakethe ze-e-cigarette eMelika, ngokusho kombiko wakamuva wedatha waseNielsen.

Esinye isizathu sokuthi uJuul athande isixuku esincane: Iza ngama-flavour afana ne-Crème Brulee, umango, nekhukhamba elipholile. Hhayi ngqo ukuthanda umuntu obhema ugwayi onzima okungenzeka ukuthi ukufuna, akunjalo? Eqinisweni, uSenator wase-US u-Chuck Schumer empeleni wamlahla uJuul encwadini ka-2017 eya ku-Food and Drug Administration ngokugqugquzela "ama-flavour akhangayo kubantu abasha." NgoSepthemba 2018, i-FDA yafuna ukuthi uJuul nezinye izinkampani eziphezulu zikagwayi we-e-ugwayi zenze izinhlelo zokunqanda ukusetshenziswa kwentsha. Eziphendulela, uJuul umemezele kuleli sonto ukuthi uzohlinzeka kuphela ngezinongo zeminti, zikagwayi nezama-menthol ezitolo. Amanye ama-flavour azotholakala ku-inthanethi kuphela, futhi amakhasimende kuzofanele aqinisekise ukuthi aneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-18 ngokunikeza izinombolo ezine zokugcina zenombolo yakhe yokuphepha komphakathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inkampani ivale ama-akhawunti ayo e-Facebook naku-Instagram, futhi izosebenzisa i-Twitter yayo kuphela "ukuxhumana okungezona ezokukhangisa."

IJuul ayibizi ncamashi; "ikhithi yokuqala," okuhlanganisa i-e-cigarette, ishaja ye-USB, nama-flavour pods amane, ithengiswa cishe ngama-dollar angu-50, kuyilapho ama-pods abiza cishe u-$15.99. Kepha lokho kuyanezela: Isilinganiso sokubhema kukaJuul sisebenzisa u- $ 180 ngenyanga kuma-pods kaJuul, ngokusho kocwaningo olwenziwe yiLendEDU, inkampani yezemfundo yezezimali. Leyo yinani elingaphansi kwenani labaphenduli bocwaningo lwemali abebelichitha ngaphambili kwimikhiqizo yendabuko ye-nicotine njengogwayi (isilinganiso esingu- $ 258 / ngenyanga) —kodwa lo mkhuba namanje awushibhile. Kuyacaca ukuthi umkhiqizo ngeke wenzele i-akhawunti yakho yasebhange noma yini, kepha ingabe uJuul mubi kuwe nasempilweni yakho?

Ingabe uJuul Mubi Kuwe?

Kunzima ukwedlula ugwayi ngokwezingozi zezempilo, futhi yebo, zimbalwa izinhlanganisela ezinobuthi ezitholakala kuJuul kunakugwayi, kusho uDkt. Winickoff. Kodwa kusenziwa nezinye izithako ezimbi kakhulu kuwe. “Akuwona nje umusi nokunambitheka kwamanzi okungenangozi,” kusho uDkt Winickoff. "Ayenziwa nje kuphela nge-N-Nitrosonornicotine, i-carcinogen eyingozi ye-Group I (futhi into edala kakhulu i-carcinogenic esiyaziyo), ubuye uhogele i-Acrylonitrile, okuyinhlanganisela enobuthi kakhulu esetshenziswa kupulasitiki nakuma-adhesives nakuma-rubbers okwenziwa."

I-nicotine eseJuul nayo yakhelwe ngokukhethekile — neqembu le-proton elinamathela kuyo — ukunambitha kamnandi nokuhogela kalula (okungenzeka ukuthi kungesinye isizathu sokuthandwa kwayo yintsha). Futhi ingakanani i-nicotine ekuJuul ezokushaya ingqondo yakho. UDkt. Winickoff uthi: “Ungadonsa i-nicotine yonke ebiza yonke iphakethe ngaphandle kokucabanga kabili.

Lokho kwenza uJuul abe umlutha omangazayo, ngakho-ke akuyona into ofuna ukuyidlala noma uzame ngayo — uDkt. UWinickoff uthi, ngenani le-nicotine kudoti ngayinye, ungaxhuma kalula kungakapheli isonto. "Empeleni, uma umncane, yilapho usheshe ube umlutha," uyanezela. "Kushintsha ubuchopho bakho ukuba bulambele i-nicotine ngokuphakamisa ukulawulwa kwama-receptors esikhungweni somvuzo sobuchopho, futhi kunobunye ubufakazi obuhle bokuthi ukulutha kwe-nicotine ngokwako kunamandla, noma kuyanda, ukulutheka kwezinye izinto." Okusho ukuthi kuzoba nzima kakhulu ukuyeka, omunye wemiphumela emibi kakhulu yeJuul. (Okuhlobene: Imiphumela Yokubhema I-DNA Yakho Ngisho Namashumi Amashumi Eminyaka Ngemuva Kokuyeka Kwakho.)

Imiphumela emibi yeJuul

Umkhiqizo we-e-cigarette ubusemakethe iminyaka emithathu kuphela, ngakho-ke njengamanje odokotela nabaphenyi abayazi imiphumela emibi yeJuul nokuthi yini ingozi engaba yingozi kumkhiqizo. "Amakhemikhali asogwayi bakagesi, ngokuvamile, awakahlolwa," kusho uDkt Winickoff.

Sekushiwo lokho, kunemiphumela emibi eyaziwayo yokuhogela i-nicotine. "Kungadala ukukhwehlela nokuhefuzela, kanye nokuhlaselwa yisifuba somoya," kusho uDkt Winickoff. "Futhi ingabangela uhlobo lwe-pneumonia eguliswayo ebizwa ngokuthi i-acute eosinophilic pneumonitis." Ukungasho, ukukhukhumeza njeeyodwa I-e-cigarette ixhunyaniswe nengozi eyengeziwe yesifo senhliziyo, ngokusho kocwaningo olushicilelwe kulo magaziniI-JAMA Cardiology (abacwaningi bathole ukuthi kwenyusa amazinga e-adrenaline enhliziyweni, okungaholela ezinkingeni zesigqi senhliziyo, ukuhlaselwa yinhliziyo, ngisho nokufa).

Muva nje, umfana oneminyaka engu-18 obesenomoya cishe amasonto amathathu wenze izindaba lapho egcina esibhedlela ngenxa yokwehluleka ukuphefumula. Odokotela bamthole ukuthi une-hypersensitivity pneumonitis, noma "iphaphu elimanzi," okuyilapho amaphaphu evutha khona ngenxa yokungezwani nothuli noma amakhemikhali (kulokhu, izithako ze-e-cigarette). "Lonke leli cala liyasho ukuthi izinhlanganisela ezikumakhemikhali nakugwayi kagesi akuphephile," kusho uDkt Winickoff. (Kuhlobene: Ingabe i-hookah iyindlela ephephile yokubhema?)

Enye enye inkinga enkulu? Ungase ucabange ukuthi uvutha iJuul, kepha ngoba kunemithetho emincane kakhulu ezungeze i-e-cigarettes, ungahle ungazi ukuthi yini oyihogelayo. "Kunenani elikhulu labantu abaphuma ngaphandle, futhi njengoba izingane zihweba ngama-pods ngaso sonke isikhathi, awuwazi ngempela umthombo womkhiqizo wakho," kusho uDkt. Winickoff. "Kucishe kufane nokuthi udlala iRussia Roulette ngengqondo yakho."

Ekupheleni kosuku, ayikho impendulo ecacile yokuthi "ingabe uJuul mubi kuwe?" Uma ubhema isikhathi eside ozama ukuyeka, iJuul noma i-e-cigaretteskungenzeka ube inketho yokukusiza ekulunyuleni. Kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi baphephile. “Ngeke ngituse noma ubani ongakabhemi ngaphambili ukuthi azame uJuul,” kusho uDkt. Winickoff. "Namathela ekuphefumuleni okuhle, umoya ohlanzekile."
