<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In conclusion, with these dynamics, we can confidently understand that more <br /> and more of our visitors from Japan desire, and even expect, smoke-free <br /> environments when they come to Hawaii. Bill 224 will not only protect our public <br /> from the dangers of tobacco smoke exposure, it should make our state more <br /> attractive to a substantial and growing majority of Japanese people. <br /> <br /> I am attaching the above-mentioned chart and some additional sheets that illustrate <br /> the points raised here. Mahalo for your consideration. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mark A. Levin <br /> (For identification purposes only) <br /> t_ <br /> Associate Professor <br /> The William S.
