• Uphengululo lwe

Kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo, uJuul wenza izihloko eziphambili xa ebhengeza ukuba iya kumisa amaphulo eendaba ezentlalo phakathi kokugxekwa okubanzi, kubandakanya ne-FDA, yokuthengisa kulutsha. Kuvakala njengenyathelo kwicala elungileyo, akunjalo? Ewe, ngoku, inkampani ithi iphuhlisa ipod entsha eya kuba nenicotine encinci kunye nomphunga ngakumbi kuneenguqulelo ezikhoyo, ngokuka INew York Times ingxelo. (Idibeneyo: Ngaba i-E-Cigarettes ayilunganga kuwe?) Kodwa ngaba oko kuyabenza babe sempilweni?

Ukuhlaziya: I-E-cigarettes efana neJuul zizixhobo ze-elektroniki ezinomxube wenicotine, ukunambitheka, kunye nezinye iikhemikhali abasebenzisi abanokuzifaka-kwaye eziye zadibaniswa nokwanda komngcipheko womhlaza. IJuul yeyona nkampani ithengisa kakhulu i-E-cigarette eMelika kwaye ithengisa ii-e-cigs ezifana ne-USB kwaye ziza kwiincasa ezifana nemango kunye nekhukhamba.

Basenokuza kwiincasa ezimnandi ezilingayo, kodwa iJuul pods iphezulu inikotini. Uninzi lweepod ziqulethe i-5 ekhulwini yenikotini, isixa esifanayo kwi-cigarettes engama-20, ngokwe-CDC. UJuul akatyhilanga ukuba ingakanani inicotine encinci okanye ungakanani umphunga ohlaziyiweyo.

Kodwa eyona nto, inicotine encinci ayisiyompumelelo. Umzamo omtsha kaJuul wokuphuhlisa i-pod-nicotine pod ekugqibeleni unokwenza imveliso yawo ixhaphake. Ngokwe- INew York Times, I-pod ye-nicotine ephantsi kakhulu ye-Juul ineemiligram ezingama-23 ze-nicotine nge-millilitre enye ye-fluid, engeke ihlangabezane nomda we-European Union we-20 milligram nge-milliliter.

Inicotine esezantsi kunye nomxholo ophezulu womphunga ngekhe uzenze iipods zingabi ngumlutha, ngokuka-Bankole Johnson, MD, D.Sc. "Umxholo wokulutha unokuba mkhulu kakhulu," utsho. "Ukuthatha umsi ngeempumlo zakho kunye nomlomo okunene kwandisa ugxininiso, okanye izinga lokuziswa kwayo kwingqondo yakho. Kwaye loo nqanaba lokunikezelwa lihambelana nokunokwenzeka okukhulu kokulutha." Ngaphezu koko, ukukhupha umphunga ongakumbi kunokwenza umsi wecuba ube lula, utsho.

Ezi ndaba azizukunceda uJuul ukuba abe kwicala elilungileyo le-FDA, engakhange ihambelane ne-brand kangangexesha elithile ngoku. Iarhente ibizama ukuqhekeza ukuthengisa i-e-cigarettes kulutsha e-US Ngo-Epreli, umkhomishina we-FDA uScott Gottlieb wenza ingxelo ebiza uJuul ukuba athathe amanyathelo ukunciphisa isibheno kulutsha. Ngokudibene nesitetimenti, i-FDA ithumele isicelo sokuba uJuul angenise ingqokelela yamaxwebhu ngoJuni, kubandakanya ulwazi kuthengiso lwabo kunye nendlela iimveliso zabo eziyichaphazela ngayo impilo yabathengi abancinci.

Emva koko ngoSeptemba, walandela, ngeli xesha ebiza uJuul ukuba anike isicwangciso sokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kweJuul phakathi kwabantwana. Kule nyanga, umphathi weJuul uKevin Burns wakhupha ingxelo esithi le nkampani iza kuthengisa kuphela i-mint, icuba kunye ne-menthol flavour ezivenkileni, ngelixa iincasa zayo ezinjenge-dessert ziya kuthintelwa ekuthengweni kwe-Intanethi. Inkampani iphinde yavala iiakhawunti zayo ezise-US ezisekelwe kwi-Facebook kunye ne-Instagram. (Funda ngakumbi: Yintoni iJuul kwaye ingcono kuwe kunokutshaya?)
