近日,桃園某國小教師發現學生在網路上購買電子煙,並將之帶入校園。(國健署提供)桃園市有名國小老師在網路上PO文,很難過的指出從開學到現在,他的班上就有七名小朋友攜帶電子煙到學校。根據我國「菸害防制法」規定,電子煙目前是被禁止的類菸品,國小發現學生隨身攜帶到校,的確是件值得注意的教育警訊。
不僅是教育警訊,也是社會問題,更是國家危機。因為電子煙可以在網路上購得,目前對於網路購物並沒有任何限制,所以才會發生國小學生輕易在網路上購買電子煙的現象。小學生攜帶電子煙到學校,當然除了炫耀,自然也會使用。一個班級就發現七位小朋友攜帶,按此類推購買並使用電子煙的國小學生,數量恐怕超出想像。
電子煙的危害其實不比一般的菸品輕微,小朋友基於新奇,以及同儕的慫恿,從網路就可以輕易購買電子煙,卻無法深刻理解電子煙對幼年身體的傷害;情境照。(圖取自freepik)。電子煙的危害其實不比一般的菸品輕微,小朋友基於新奇,以及同儕的慫恿,從網路就可以輕易購買電子煙,卻無法深刻理解電子煙對幼年身體的傷害,加上若平時有使用電子煙的習慣,往往就更容易染上毒品,因為物以類聚,煙品跟毒品常常都有很密切的社會脈絡關係。
單靠校規很難遏止學生使用電子煙,需要家庭與國家機制的投入關心,父母對孩子的金錢使用及網路購物要多多關心,政府對於網路購物的審核機制要儘速擬定法律,對商家給予嚴重的法律制裁,不該放任兒童或未成年人可以任意在網路上購買到違法商品。
