〔記者羅碧/台北報導〕全台電子煙回收桶啟用逾1個月;國健署副署長林莉茹今(15)天表示,目前全國共有432處回收點,累計回收633公斤,以每支電子煙50公克估算,約相當於1萬2660支,其中六都回收量占全國約7成,回收服務將持續開放,鼓勵民眾將家中電子煙送往回收點妥善處理。
林莉茹指出,初步統計,六都回收量約占7成,非六都約占3成;若依北、中、南、東區分,北部與中部合計約占8成,其餘地區約占2成。不過,回收採匿名、不記名方式,民眾也可能因工作或居住地跨區投遞,因此回收地點未必能直接反映持有者的居住縣市。

國健署自9月8日起開放全台431處電子煙回收點,後續新增1處,目前共432處。回收點以各縣市衛生局、衛生所為主,部分設於心理衛生中心、成癮防治機構、警察局或環保局,民眾可於各設置點上班時間前往,免具名自主投遞,也不必提供個人資料。
回收桶採「只進不出」設計,針對首波回收電子煙是否已銷毀,林莉茹表示,目前先進行回收,後續將統一處理。國健署也鼓勵各縣市視需求及適合地點持續增設回收桶,方便民眾投遞。
至於回收服務何時結束?林莉茹表示,將持續至「菸害防制法」修法完成後約1個月。她也呼籲,家中仍有電子煙的民眾踴躍回收,並善用免費戒菸服務,及早戒菸、促進健康。
「菸害防制法」部分條文修正草案已於6月25日經行政院院會通過,送立法院審議,擬將「持有」電子煙納入禁止及處罰範圍。依草案規劃,修正條文施行後將提供1個月緩衝期,期間持有電子煙遭查獲者不處罰鍰,但相關物品仍會沒入;緩衝期結束後,持有者擬處3萬元以上、10萬元以下罰鍰,並沒入相關物品。目前修法尚未完成,持有電子煙尚未適用上述罰則。

Nutritionist Zhang Xinfang cited research and pointed out that men with higher sodium intake declined faster in episodic memory, but the same significant association was not found in the overall study group and women. The study tracked more than 1,200 middle-aged and elderly people with normal cognitive function for 6 years. Another study published in "Neurobiology of Aging" also reached a similar conclusion. Zhang Xinfang emphasized that current human research results are inconsistent and cannot directly determine that a high-salt diet will accelerate brain aging or increase the risk of dementia. However, she reminded that salt should still be reduced in daily diet to protect the brain and maintain blood vessel health.

As the flu season approaches, influenza vaccination across the country has begun. Experts point out that September and October are the golden periods for vaccination. It takes 2-4 weeks for antibodies to develop and the protective effect lasts for 6-8 months. This year, the H3N2 subtype of influenza A and the Victoria lineage of influenza B are prevalent across the country, and the proportion of H3N2 is increasing. The vaccine was converted from quadrivalent to trivalent because the Yamagata B strain has not been monitored globally since March 2020 and the WHO has removed it. People aged six months and above can be vaccinated. Patients with chronic diseases can be vaccinated when their condition is stable. Symptoms such as body temperature exceeding 37.3°C during colds should be postponed. You need to stay for 30 minutes after vaccination, and you can use your personal medical insurance account to pay. In some areas, it is free or reimbursed by medical insurance. If you were vaccinated or had influenza last year, you still need to get vaccinated again that year because the virus mutates frequently and antibodies weaken over time.
