Description

In the award-winning Donnie Dinosaur’s Tobacco Trouble Video, Donnie and his puppet friends use music and funny characters to teach all children to keep a healthy body free from tobacco.

While on a walk through the forest, Sandy leads Milo into a cave and pressures him to smoke a cigarette. Donnie Dinosaur creates an understanding among children by teaching them the dangers of tobacco use, including short- and long-term health effects and secondhand smoke, as well as spotting lies in tobacco advertising.

Children learn of the harmful effects that cigarettes can have on a person’s body even after just one puff. They discover the addictive nature of the drug nicotine. Young people also learn that smoking can make you smell bad and your teeth turn yellow. These messages are important and are backed up with a message that all drugs are bad and you should avoid them and help others do the same.

Children also learn about other forms of tobacco, ways to fight peer pressure, and the importance of healthy foods and exercise. The fun puppets, bright colors and repetitive nature of the songs help children remember the important information presented in the video. Show children that it is not cool to smoke or use any form of tobacco with Donnie Dinosaur’s Tobacco Trouble Video!
