Proud of Hawaiʻi’s youth for standing up and organizing against Big Tobacco. Mahalo to the Youth Council of the Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawaii for your work and dedication to protecting the health of our keiki. In 2015, you were instrumental in passing legislation to make Hawaiʻi the first state to adopt 21 as the legal minimum age to buy tobacco products. Today, you fight to raise awareness to increase support for local and state policies to end the sale of candy-flavored tobacco products in Hawaiʻi and address the urgent need to stop the youth vaping epidemic. Kudos to you all. I am excited to proclaim March 20, 2019 KICK BUTTS DAY. #flavorshookkids

As an island state, Hawai‘i is uniquely impacted by the threat of invasive species. Our endemic species and distinctive ecosystems evolved over millions of years in isolation from the rest of the world’s biota, creating a delicate balance that continues to be at risk from the arrival of non-native plants, animals, and fungi. We need to protect and our island state and prevent the spread of invasive species to Hawaiʻi.
