We are glad you are here. As health officials, we're doing everything we can to educate children through their teachers, healthcare professionals and the 
media, but it's your influence as a parent that can make the biggest impact…positive or negative. Staying involved in your child's life reduces the chance that he or she will ever pick up the tobacco habit, and it's important that you lead the way by living a tobacco-free life, too.
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 WhereIsPete.org overview. There are also resources for you, including facts on smokeless tobacco, tips for talking to your children about it and links to other related sites.
