We are glad you are here. As health officials, we're doing everything we can to educate children through parents, educators and healthcare professionals, but your influence as a member of the media is vitally important, too. Keeping the public up to date on the risks and consequences of using chewing tobacco or snuff can help persuade children (and parents) to choose to live tobacco-free.
This site, designed for young boys (under age 14, who are not permitted on YouTube or MySpace), features a crazy but educational game that aims to dissuade kids from ever trying chewing tobacco or snuff.
For more information on this initiative, please check out our press release and an overview of the WhereIsPete.org advertising geared toward Pennsylvania's youth at risk for trying, or already using, spit tobacco.
