I want to support this law to stop smoking from happening around children. I believe this because
millions of adults die every year around the world from tobacco.

Aloha County Council,
My name is Mariya Protopopora. I am 13 years old and attending Kealakehe Intermediate School. I am
also a part of Jumpstart.
I want this smoke-free law to pass so that less people would be smoking and the community would be
healthier. Every year people die because they have been exposed to secondhand smoke. I care about
the community so I care about this law.

Aloha.
My name is Manu Vete and I'm in 7e" grand from the Jumpstart Program at Kealakehe Intermediate
School. I am a good healthy boy in strong support of Bill 224 that would prohibit the use of tobacco
products at all Hawaii County Parks and Beaches.
As you may know smoking is a dangerous thing and a bad thing especially for our health. I think that
people should stop exposing our keiki to second hand smoke. Additionally, we should not have smoking
on our beaches because it's unclean with all the cigarette butts all over the place.
I encourage the council to vote yes to pass Bill 224 so we can have all the beaches smoke-free.
Mahalo,
Manu Vete

Please consider passing the legislation for smoke free beaches. No one should have to
breathe in someone else's smoke, especially when trying to relax in nature/on the beach.
