  5. Native Hawaiians Affected The affect of asthma from smoking (as shown in the graph), is easily affecting all ages of Native Hawaiians. Native Hawaiians before were so healthy some things still affect us more than other ethnicities.

  6. Relation to Ke Ala Pono The lung diseases that are caused by smoking, directly and second hand, are related to both Malama and Ho’ihi. Malama because it shows that you don’t care enough about yourself and others around you to not smoke. Ho’ihi because it shows that you are not respectful to yourself your body and other people.

  7. Conclusions • Obviously, smoking has affected many people especially Hawaiians greatly. The asthma and emphysema numbers on Hawaiian are inflated way more than other ethnicities. • Also that smoking has a great effect on people that are just exposed to smoking and not just the smokers.
