Testimony for Bill #365 (No Smoking at Kahalu'u Beach Park)
Devyn M. Park
Age 13, 8s' Grade
West Hawaii Youth Fisheries Council
I FULLY support the ban of smoking at Kahalu'u Beach Park because of the facts
listed below:
1. Cigarette filters are the most common trash found on beaches worldwide.
2. Scientific tests prove that only 0.125 filters per liter (one filter for two gallons of
water) of water can be deadly to the sea fleas, (Daphnia manga) and affect the number of
ghost crab holes in the area with the most cigarette filters.
3. Cigarettes and other tobacco products are the cause of secondhand smoke and in
extreme cases can lead to lung cancer.
Thank you very much for your time and support, Devyn M. Park
