I strongly support Bill 385, which would prohibit smoking at iCahalu'u Beach Park.
I must commend the Council for addressing this important issue.
As you already know, smoking is hazardous to health. Because of this health
risk, the State enacted one of the strongest secondhand smoking-law in the
nation prohibiting smoking in virtually all workplaces and in enclosed and partially
enclosed public places. However, smoking is still permitted in nearly all parks
and beach parks within the State, thus our keiki continue to be endangered to the
hazards of secondhand smoke. Additionally, discarding cigarettes and cigar butts
onto our beaches is unsightly, unclean and particularly hazardous to small
children who handle and sometime ingest them. Finally, I am personally repelled,
not only by people who smoke on our beaches, but also by the sight of cigarette
butts accumulating in the sand.
It is for the reasons I have noted above that I strongly encourage the Council to
pass this ordinance. Let's have at least one beach on the Big Island that is
smoke-free and can be enjoyed not only families but also everyone.
Please accept this as written testimony in support of this bill.
