Here are some questions from the people at STAT about situations you might end up in. Get together with your friends when youve got a few minutes, talk about these questions and see what everybody thinks. Remember, situations like this might come up at any time -- it pays to think FIRST when it comes to tobacco!

What should you do?

You are at a baseball game and your friend passes you a can of smokeless tobacco. He tells you its okay to use "snuff" because its not as bad for you as cigarettes.
What should you say to him?

What should you do?

You and your friends are hanging out behind the school one day when another friend walks up to your best friend and offers him/her some snuff. You know that they have never used snuff before, but he/she reaches for the can anyway.
What would you do? What if your friend tells you that it's okay because his/her dad uses snuff too?

Your friend's mom is driving you to school and she is smoking with her car windows shut.
