Maui’s coastline and marine life continue to face alarming destruction from the careless littering of cigarette butts on our prized beaches; especially since the 2006 statewide indoor smoking ban brought smokers out of the restaurants and onto our once pristine beaches. Please help us in saving our exclusive beaches and precious marine creatures that continue to suffer from this growing problem. Please sign our online petition so that we can pass legislation to end this threat to our beaches.
The cigarette companies and their irresponsible customers are trashing our coastline while they treat our golden sand like a giant personal ashtray. I am currently reaching out to local officials to demand they quit ignoring this poison and start enforcing a total ban on beach smoking.

The momentum behind this push is proof that people are finally sick of watching the tobacco industry turn our coastlines into ashtrays. We have reached a point where the local officials can no longer pretend this pollution does not exist.

Every time I go to the beach I find at least a dozen in the sand. It is gross and killing our reefs. Fix this now.
