Hi, thank you for taking the time to read my testimony for Bill 102. I strongly
support Bill 102. I am a 8th grader attending Honoka'a High & intermediate.
Every day I see so many of my peers vaping. It seems so normal like its
legal for them to be walking down the street puffing away on these pods.
They think it is safer then cigarettes because it smells and taste like candy.
They are so addicted to vaping they end up taking hits right in the middle of
class. I see friends of mine struggling to focus on school and sports
because they are so addicted. I believe if we ban flavors in the state of
Hawai'i our youth would not be interested in vaping.
Mahalo,
Adam Valera
