This young persons video explores how peer pressure leads Joey Fingerhead (finger puppet) to begin smoking even though he knows it is not good for him. Billy the Bully and his gang tease Joey and try to convince him that smoking will help him look “cool”. Even though Joey’s friend Wilbur and his teacher warn him about the dangers of smoking, Joey just wants to stop the teasing. But when Grandpa Fingerhead catches Joey practicing smoking in the basement he is soon given something else to think about. A wonderful resource for reaching very young children with a message on the dangers of smoking and the possible effects of peer pressure.
