Parents need to know that this award-winning site teaches kids about the evils of smoking and how to quit by making carefully weighed choices. It's part of a media campaign that's funded by Colorado's 2004 tobacco tax and takes kids through a virtual town called C-Ville where the message of owning those educated choices (choices being the "C" in all this) is presented in a hip and non-preachy way. There are no advertisements and there's nothing to buy with cash on the site.

Families can talk about which kind of choices are easy and which are hard. What was the last choice you had to make that defines who you are? What did it show other people about you? Were there other options that were easier, but not the right choice for you? Have there recently been choices where options had to be carefully weighed before acting?
