Parent Resource Center
Parents can be the greatest influence on their children's decision not to smoke. Kids whose parents repeatedly talk to them about not smoking are significantly less likely to smoke. That's why Philip Morris USA Youth Smoking Prevention has supported the development of this online Parent Resource Center to help parents talk to their kids about not smoking.
Here you'll find tips and advice on starting the conversation, what to say, and how to say it. Sections in the Parent Resource Center come from the Raising Kids Who Don't Smoke parent brochure series as well as from content developed by parenting and child development experts.
The Parent Resource Center has been created in consultation with an advisory board of psychologists, psychiatrists and public health professionals who are committed to youth smoking prevention and positive youth development. For more information on the members of the board and other contributors, click here.
As the manufacturer of a product intended for adults who smoke, Philip Morris has a responsibility to help prevent kids from smoking. We take that responsibility seriously. Please visit the Youth Smoking Prevention section of www.philipmorrisusa.com for more information. We hope that the Parent Resource Center will encourage and help you to talk to your kids about not smoking.
