Barb Tarbox Video and Discussion Guide

Available from Centre for Addiction Research BC (CARBC) at www.silink.ca

A new video about Barb Tarbox – a courageous 41-year-old mother who lost her battle with lung cancer caused by cigarette smoking – is now available in B.C. This video is an excellent companion tool for bc.tobaccofacts. It is strongly recommended that teachers/facilitators preview the material, as the emotional content is very strong.
