The Barb Tarbox Story

Tuesday November 4, 2003
"It's easier to quit than to say goodbye." Barb Tarbox tells us. At the age of 41, Barb was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal lung cancer. Her daughter was 9 years old at the time.

On Tuesday, Nov 4th, 2003, The Montel Williams Show will feature her story and interview those she left behind when she lost her life on May 18, 2003.

I wish that this show could be seen time and again until EVERY smoker could see it! I want you to know how grateful I am that this story was shared. I smoked for most of 33 years and tried 100 times to quit. Since I saw this show Nov. 4, 2003, I have not had one cigarette since! That has been 2 yrs., 7 mos., 24 days! Thank you again and again!
