Last month, City Councilman Stanley Chang had proposed Bill 72, which sought to ban smoking at Kapiolani Park and 4 other of the most popular beach parks on the island of Oahu. In a 4 to 1 vote, the Safety, Economic Development and Government Affairs Committee voted moved to advance Bill 72 and will hold a public hearing on December 5th. Chang was delighted about the City Council Committees’ support and stated, ”Cigarette butt litter is by far the No. 1 source of litter on our streets, our beaches, in our parks, our public places.” Chang added that approving the ban “would send a strong signal and help enhance Hawaii’s appeal as a tourist destination.”
