<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Murashige, Laura <br /> <br /> From: Donna Chalmers [markheritage19@msn.com] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 8:00 AM <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: Please vote to support Bill 224. <br /> <br /> To: Hawai?i County Council <br /> Re: TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OF BILL 224 <br /> Relating To Prohibition of Smoking In Certain Places Council hearing: February 21, 2008 <br /> I support Bill 224, which would prohibit using tobacco products at all Hawai'i County <br /> parks and beaches. <br /> I have two major reasons: <br /> 1) Cigarette smoking exposes children and adults to hazardous second hand smoke and the <br /> butts can be hazardous to young children who pick them up and ingest them. <br /> <br /> 2)Discarded cigarette butts litter our beautiful parks and beaches. <br /> I had family visiting from the mainland. At two of the beaches we went to smokers would <br /> light up right in front of us and then put their cigerette out in the grass and sand. <br /> <br /> I have grown up in Hawaii since I was 11 and can't believe anyone would treat our <br /> beautiful environment in that manner. <br /> Passing Bill 224, will make visiting all our parks and beaches more enjoyable for our <br /> residents as well as visitors who bring much needed income to our state and island. <br /> Please accept this as written testimony in support of this bill. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Donna Chalmers <br /> HCR 3 Box 11074 <br /> Keaau, HI 96749 <br /> ao <br /> <br /> ~ <br /> Q (7 <br /> C M. <br /> 0) I <br /> Z M M <br /> 0 <br /> 3 <br /> Sir f~ <br /> a {j7 <br /> C.J7 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Gomm: <br /> Ref.
