Ngo-2020, abenzi bomthetho baseCalifornia bawisa isithintelo kuzo zonke iimveliso ze-nicotine ezinencasa - kubandakanya i-e-cigarettes kunye necuba - ngaphandle kwemibhobho yamanzi, amagqabi avulekileyo.icuba(esetyenziswa kwimibhobho) kunye ne-premium cigars, ngokweengxelo zeendaba zangaphandle.Iimveliso zeMenthol nazo zigutyungelwe ngumthetho.

Abachasi bokuvalwa baqokelele ngaphezu kwe-1 yezigidi zeesignesha kwaye banyanzelisa urhulumente ukuba abambe ireferendamu yokuvalwa.Lo mthetho wawucwangciselwe ukusebenza nge-1 kaJanuwari 2021 kwaye emva koko wanqunyanyiswa de kube nge-8 kaNovemba.

Ukuba abavoti bayawuxhasa umthetho kwiveki ezayo, iCalifornia iya kujoyina amazwe athintele ukuthengiswa kweemveliso ezithile zenikotini.IMassachusetts yavala ukuthengiswa kweemveliso zenikotini ezinencasa (kubandakanywa ne-menthol) ngo-2019;INew Jersey, iRhode Island kunye neNew York zonke ziyakuthintela ukusetyenziswa kweemveliso zevape ezinencasa.

Umthetho ocetywayo waseCalifornia wahlukile kuba ukwavala izinto ezibizwa ngokuba zii-flavour enhancers, ukuthintela abantu ekuthengeni i-e-liquids enencasa engeyo-nicotine kwaye bongeze inikotini engaqholwanga ekhaya.

Abakhi-mkhanyo balindele ukuba umthetho waseCalifornia wamkelwe.

I-Oct. 4 Berkeley Institute of Government poll yafumanisa ukuba i-57 ekhulwini yabaphenduli bacetywayo ukuxhasa ukuvinjelwa kwe-flavour, ngelixa kuphela iipesenti ze-31 ziza kuvota ngokuchasene nayo kwaye kuphela i-12 ekhulwini yayingaqinisekanga.

Abaxhasi bokuvalwa komsebenzi babonakala bebaninzi kunabachasi.Phakathi ku-Okthobha, i-billionaire echasene nokutshaya kunye ne-anti-vaping activist uMichael Bloomberg wayebonelele nge-15.3 yezigidi zeedola kwi-17.3 yezigidi zeedola ikomiti eyayiphakamisile ukuxhasa ukuvalwa, ngokutsho kweSan Francisco Chronicle.

Ngokwahlukileyo koko, inkcaso inyuse ngaphezu kwezigidi ezi-2 zeerandi, phantse iphelele kwiminikelo evela kuPhilip Morris waseMelika (i-1.2 yezigidi zeerandi) noRJ Reynolds (iidola ezingama-743,000).Abagxeki boyika ukuba ukuba ukuvalwa komsebenzi kuyadlula, kuya kubangela imarike enkulu engekho mthethweni, njengoko yenzekile kumazwe anezithintelo ezifanayo.

Ukuvalwa umlomoincasa yecubaeMassachusetts, ngokomzekelo, kubonakala ngathi iye yakhuthaza abantu abatshayayo nabasebenzisa i-e-cigarette ukuba bafumane iimveliso zabo kumazwe angabamelwane.
