Ngo-2020, abenzi bomthetho baseCalifornia bagunyaza ukuvinjelwa kuyo yonke imikhiqizo ye-nicotine enongiwe - okuhlanganisa nogwayi we-elekthronikhi nogwayi - ngaphandle kwamapayipi amanzi, amaqabunga avulekile.ugwayi(esetshenziswa emapayipini) nogwayi baphambili, ngokwemibiko yabezindaba yangaphandle.Imikhiqizo ye-Menthol nayo ihlanganiswe nomthetho.
Abamelene nokuvinjelwa baqoqe amasignesha angaphezu kwesigidi futhi baphoqa umbuso ukuthi ubambe inhlolovo mayelana nokuvinjelwa.Lo mthetho wawuhlelelwe ukuthi uqale ukusebenza ngoJanuwari 1, 2021 futhi wabe usumiswa kuze kube umhla ziyisi-8 kuNovemba.
Uma abavoti besekela umthetho ngesonto elizayo, i-California izojoyina izifundazwe ezivimbele ukuthengiswa okungenani kwemikhiqizo ethile ye-nicotine enongiwe.IMassachusetts ivimbele ukuthengiswa kwemikhiqizo ye-nicotine enongiwe (kuhlanganise ne-menthol) ngo-2019;I-New Jersey, i-Rhode Island ne-New York zonke ziyakwenqabela ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo ye-vape enongiwe.
Umthetho ohlongozwayo waseCalifornia uhlukile ngoba uphinde uvimbele lokho okubizwa ngokuthi izithuthukisi ukunambitheka, uvimbela abantu ekuthengeni uketshezi olungenayo i-nicotine e-flavour bese belungeza ku-nicotine engaqholwa ekhaya.
Izibukeli zilindele ukuthi umthetho wase-California uzovunywa.
Inhlolovo yango-Okthoba 4 yaseBerkeley Institute of Government ithole ukuthi amaphesenti angu-57 abaphendulile ahlele ukusekela ukuvinjelwa kwe-flavour, kuyilapho amaphesenti angu-31 kuphela azovota ngokumelene nakho futhi amaphesenti angu-12 kuphela ayengenaso isiqiniseko.
Abasekeli bokuvinjelwa babonakala bebaningi kunabamelene nabo.Maphakathi no-Okthoba, isishoshovu sebhiliyoni esimelene nokubhema kanye ne-anti-vaping uMichael Bloomberg wayesenikeze u-$15.3 wezigidi zamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-17.3 ikomiti elaliyiqoqile ukweseka ukuvinjelwa, ngokusho kweSan Francisco Chronicle.
Ukuphikiswa, ngokuphambene, kunyuse ngaphezudlwana kwezigidi ezimbili zamaRandi, cishe ngokuphelele emnikelweni ovela kuPhilip Morris USA (amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-1.2) no-RJ Reynolds (amaRandi angu-743,000).Abagxeki besaba ukuthi uma ukuvinjelwa kudlula, kuzodala imakethe enkulu engekho emthethweni, njengoba kwenzekile ezifundazweni ezinemikhawulo efanayo.
Ukuvinjelwaukunambitheka kukagwayieMassachusetts, ngokwesibonelo, kubonakala sengathi iye yakhuthaza ababhemayo nabasebenzisa ugwayi we-elektroniki ukuba bathole imikhiqizo yabo emazweni angomakhelwane.
