I'll never forget when she came to my high-school... She passed about 2 months after... I quit pretty soon after that, I just could not stop seeing her face in my mind every time I lit a cig. Best thing I ever did was QUIT THAT SHIT. She scared the living fuck out of me and my friends, and that's why I love this woman. Rest in peace Barb
What’s amazing about her is that she could have just ended up so bitter and resentful at the fact that she was dying so early. She could have wallowed in guilt and self-regret, but instead, used her own story to warn others. It gave her no reward or relief, and yet she still did it. Just amazing and an inspiration
What is your reason and motivation to stop 🤔 no matter if you stop or continue as long as you're doing it for God I pray that she gave her life to Jesus before she died
@@matthewmcalister2165 good think he quit! He might not have lived as long as he did had he not. I’m now 14 years smoke free! Just quit drinking too thanks to Allen’s alcohol book!
gail LeDuc ..I quit when I was 35 . I had difficulty breathing, and I can't tell you how much money, literally, went up in smoke, I am now 77 I know that if had not stopped I would be long dead by now.
We lost my dad, Jesse, his dad his mom, Terri and her. I wish the government would crush all cigarettes companies, give everyone who smokes 100% treatment paid by the former cigarette companies. But... We don't have to be their SLAVES in smoking. Don't smoke... Ever. Please😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
changing the way we look at tobacco and the industry got me through smoking, i always had that atitude (They are smoking and enjoying themselves and i cant) and i always fall back, now i have a new vision i dislike the poison , i pity people who use it and look at them as sick and dependant while i gain health and save money
Not sure if I ever would have started, but Barb visiting my junior high school ensured that I would never light up. She's one of those people that sticks in your memory for life.
Good, don't ever pick up a damn cigarette ever! It's disgusting 🤢 I was a smoker for 15 years and now I'm going on about 3 almost 4 years smoke free. Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my entire life and I'm so glad I did it. But those 15 years have definitely taken a tole on my health, it definitely made my skin age a lot faster than normal as I look older than what I actually am. It also helped progress my gingivitis to periodontal disease and due to lack of dental insurance I have significant bone loss in my lower mandible and I'm at risk of losing several of my teeth and now have to go through extensive deep cleanings and possibly surgeries as well 😞
I've seen her face on my cigerette packs for the last few years, I'm so glad I saw this. I have been quit for a little over 3 weeks now, and this is just so powerful. There is no way i can go back. I have athsma , and Its just brutal.
They have a heart, hon. But it's hard for them because they are not happy to be confronted with their mortality. It's more comfortable to be in denial and to pretend that you can quit when you want. It's also associated with pleasure for others, so they are not ready yet to accept Barb's message (no matter how amazingly brave she was). But they know that it kills them. One day, they will come back to this video and change their thumb down for a thumb up - and quit for good!
I'm wishing I had watched this sooner, for some reason her picture on the cigarette pack I bought here in Canada today led me to watch this right now. I've seen her picture on the packages before and never paid them any mind even though I've known about her since this was all filmed. It's scary, It's a wake up call for sure and a good motivator... What really gets me is the limited amount of views this has, It's sad when people are more concerned weather Kim kardashian lost her cell phone or not, but I'm not here to rant and rave about popularity. I have 13 smokes left in the package with her picture on them and I hope they're my last.... I'm planning to keep that empty package as a reminder. God bless you Barb, I'm sure you've added more years to peoples lives than anyone could possibly imagine. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.. P..S... If you can hear me Barb? wish me luck...... A fellow Edmontonian,,,, Jimmy
Oh my. Hey guys. This post was when I was in active addiction and a heavy smoker. Thanks for your interest. I'll be happy to let you guys know that I quit smoking on August 8th, 2017. That is the date I went into rehab for my drinking issues. I've also been sober since then as well. Life is good. I've saved a tonne of money not smoking and drinking. If I can quit? Anybody can. I had it in my mind that I was going to die still smoking. Good luck guys.
My neighbour was smoke free for 3 years too. Butt new years eve 2015/2016 she had a puff and got hooked again. Now I see her smoking heavily on her balcony every day. So whatever you do, NEVER SMOKE A SINGLE PUFF EVER AGAIN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
When I was a kid, I remember seeing Barb's ads on TV. I was 7 years old when I first saw them, and it sure scared me out of smoking. It is a trip down memory lane at age 28 to see this. R.I.P. barb and thank you for sharing your story and influencing me never to smoke.
25 years smoke free, i would never return to cigarettes,thanks to barb tarbox watching her video, keeps me strong. sadly in the uk, i still regularly see schoolchildren [mostlygirls] in their early teens walking home from school smoking cigarettes,they are so stupid,as they have so much education ,in biology lessons/antismoking assemblies, this video should be shown in every uk school.
Thank you Barbara I am quitting for good after starting up again briefly and your story motivates me to stay strong when I'm craving a cigarette. Many blessings to you and your family and for the lives you have saved with your story, possibly even mine.
I smoked for 10 years - from when I was 16-26. I was getting chest pains and had to go to the hospital because I had trouble breathing. I found the easiest way to quit was to keep yourself occupied doing something else. I took up running (having a running partner helps keep you mmotivated as well). also, tell your friends who smoke not to do it around you. it's REALLY hard not to smoke if you see someone who is.
After the death of my grandpa who died from smoking and watching this I will never touch a cigarette in my life. They should show this to everyone around the world to show them how dangerous smoking is.
I've been bullied all my life during school and back when I was a Senior in high school I let peer pressure get to me by smoking with a group of girls who told me that I could hang out with them if I smoked and since I didn't have any friends I did and after I graduated I kept smoking every now and then but, decided to quit cold turkey which I'm glad I did and after watching Barb talk about what happened to her I will think about her words before I ever decide to start smoking again. Thank you Barb for being able to speak to everyone and may you RIP and I will share your video with those who smoke
RIP Angel ...It’s 3 months since I quit smoking after 11 years ...I feel better than ever Cold turkey ....first 2 weeks sting and hurt after that it gets much easier I promise! I wish you all luck on your journey Please don’t give up ✨
Brand names on cigarette packs should be replaced with a picture of her on her deathbed. I had seriously considered smoking when I was 15, and I'm so glad I chose not to start smoking.
I quit smoking and I will never go back. She is truly a beautiful woman to warn all those people it's sad her life was cut short. I was thinking that could of been me
One time me, mom and nanny went to get something at a store. Nan went inside and I stayed in the car with mom. I watched outside and I saw a girl about 23 get out of the car next to ours. And she took out a cigarette and started smoking. A while later she got in the car and the drivers window rolled down, and a man was smoking inside and he threw the cigarette on the ground. It was probably the most shocking thing I ever saw. It was frightening on how many people smoked because they're family members smoke. But to everyone out there, whether your a teenager or a adult, please do not smoke. You may think that it won't hurt but it will. It will not be worth the money. You work hard to stay healthy, please do not hurt yourself with smoking. I want to thank you for taking the time to read this. 🚫🚬
I've tried to quit 4 times but relapsed and failed in all of them. Every time I relapsed I watched this video to remind me to quit, when I'm mentally ready again. My life is already hectic and it's a bit hard right now. I'm in so much denial again after my last relapse, that smoking helps me. But I'm aware it affects me badly in so many ways. But I'm still in a positive mindset to quit later on this year, I hope to succeed doing so. The "Smoking affects YOU and those that YOU LOVE" always gets me in tears, but being in denial is so difficult. My left lung already feels damaged and painful. But I'm sure I'll be okay. :) I love you angel Barb Tarbox, rest in peace. Your influence upon others will always be remembered, regardless of what you've gone through and did so yourself. ❤️
UPDATE: I'm smoke free for 6-7 months already. I've stopped smoking successfully. I sometimes come to this video to remind me, to NEVER go back to smoking/cigarettes. To refresh my mind, sometimes I do have my obstacles. Sometimes smoking thoughts resurface, and I manage to knock them down like a champ. And these kind of videos reinforce the non-smoker thoughts, after quitting smoking successfully. No one deserves to suffer from smoking. I don't blame people though, it isn't their fault. It's the TOBACCO COMPANIES. Everyone can quit, it is POSSIBLE. Good luck to whoever goes through their battle of quitting smoking, you can DO IT. I BELIEVE IN YOU! If I made it, so CAN YOU. ❤
My grandma died in 2018 at age 63 due to chain smoking two to three packs a day right up until the end of her life. Seeing these prevents me from ever starting.
I HAVE NEVER SMOKED, AND THIS WHY, I WILL NEVER SMOKE BECAUSE, IT COULD VERY EASILY KILL ME BY CANCER OR MANY WAYS THANKYOU BARB TARBOX FOR HELP TRYING TO PUT A STOP TO THIS DEADLY ADDICTION WHICH IS SO FATAL FOR SO MANY PEOPLE
The undisputed queen of smoking 👸🚬 really is. Her name has the words “tar and box,” in it, like a pack of cigarettes. From what I understand she smoked to the end. She keeps me smoke free, she really took one for the team.
That was I have been thinking exactly because her name and her smoking 🚬 history is pretty much matching. I wish someone would have cured her and again let her enjoy her rest of life healthy with her husband and daughter 😏
To choose your last month or so of your life giving the LAST of your ever fleeting energy, you are an ANGEL. I can sincerely say that this woman goes on my top 10 of most influential and strong women of our time. Wow. The pain she must have felt wrecking through her body during her speeches. God bless her soul, she taught me something. Thank you for that. Xo 🙏🏼🤍
Thank you Barb you have saved me from smoking as being shown this video in school in grade 6 traumatized me so bad I never started, you have saved many people from suffering the same fate as yourself and you're in heaven for that
Getting cancer is no joke, last person I lost 2 it was my uncle in 2014. He was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in the summer of 2014, and tragically passed away in November of that same year, he was 56. He was smoking cigarettes 4 as long as I can remember. In 2011, I smoked cigarettes 4 a few months and I quit b4 I ended up addicted, I will never go back 2 them. R.I.P. Barb
I lost both of my paternal grandparents because of smoking. My grandfather, who was an outdoors man suffered from COPD for several years, and was chained to an oxygen machine, hardly able to get around, hardly saw the outside for the last 6 1/2 years of his life. My grandmother died about 7 years later from lung cancer. I watched that healthy strong willed woman in her 70's wither away into nothing in less than a year. I wouldn't touch a cigarette with a ten foot pole after seeing them die the way they did. I love that Barb didn't spare any details, because the diseases that come from smoking sure as hell don't.
My dad was 33 when my grandfather died of emphysema at 57. I couldn't imagine losing my dad in 10 years (I'm 23), I'm glad my dad doesn't smoke at all.
I am watching this video in 2021. An unknown person suggested me this video. I have cried a lot while watching this. Give me strength to quit smoking 🙏 Suggest me something better everyday ❤️
My grand uncle, an attorney and father of three, died in the 50s I believe, from heavy smoking, at 45. We should remember people such as him and Mrs Tarbox. Rest in peace and rise in glory.
As a former smoker, eveytime I want to buy a pack I look at this video fully and when its at 13:57 I cry Eveytime because losing your life due to smoking for some stress is just ain't worth it. I met her in her final days tho which really affects me I still remember when I left her and lit that cigarette how of a cruel person I was. Glad I stoped smoking.
Welp, here I go. Been seeing your face on my pack for weeks now and I'm going to do you proud. July 7, 2021. I'd say wish me luck, but I don't need it. It won't even be hard after watching this. I have so many good things in line to replace this nasty habit. Going to hug my soulmate extra tight tonight and never look back. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my soul.
i work in a petro canada ( student job ) and seeing mother of young baby ask for their cigarets, ... each time i feel a litle guilty. Hope her message won't be forgotten.
She was exquisite....beautiful....some one needs to cure lung diseases all of them.....they are far behind the rest of the diseases.....This is a human travesty.....cigarettes are horrible...let's stop the stigma....the opioid addicts get sympathy, empathy and help....think about that...it's the way smokers should be too....why not.....
I lost my last living maternal uncle 2 advance stage 4 prostate cancer. He was 56 in 2014, he smoked cigarettes since I was little in the 90s but I am sure he has got further b4 I was born. I used 2 smoke 4 awhile and I am glad I quit and I only did it 4 one month in my mid 20s. Cancer is a beast, it can affect any1. R.I.P. Barb Tarbox. He was diagnosed in the summer of 2014 and he unfortunately passed away in Nov 2014 after losing the battle.
Sad. And great message to the younger generation. Weirdly, and unfortunately, lung cancer doesn’t afflict just smokers. And, also, my lifelong smoker of a great grandmother lived to 95. Just live your life.
Barb,i dpnt know you but i never started smoking.my parents smoked my whole childhood.myself,husband,and my child i hope will not smoke.i am so glad because of you i can go into a restaurant and eat without smelling it,and people cannot do it in their cars with kids.you made a big difference lady,and i respect you immensely
I quit smoking almost 6 years ago I watched my mom die from COPD stage 4 and I quit on the first try because I watched how my mama suffered she passed away November 1st 2018 rest in peace Mama💜
i'm sorry :( :( did your dad pass away from smoking ? my uncle had lung cancer, also caused by smoking .. he left behind 1 daughter aged 5 years old :( ...
Poor lady. Tarbox is an apt yet horrible name. Rest in peace and rise in glory. This inspires me to continue as a non-smoker and use cognitive defusion for my anxiety.
I'll never forget when she came to my high-school... She passed about 2 months after... I quit pretty soon after that, I just could not stop seeing her face in my mind every time I lit a cig. Best thing I ever did was QUIT THAT SHIT. She scared the living fuck out of me and my friends, and that's why I love this woman. Rest in peace Barb
+Colin Fitzgerald You are living proof that she did not die in vain.
She will be so proud of you that is exactly what she wanted

Thanks to Barb and Allen Carr I'm almost 10 years clean of smoking. I'll never go back. I owe my life to them, literally.
It’s a shame that Allen eventually succumbed to a smoking-tested death, but at least he had many years smoke free to enjoy. Barb died at just 42.
@@matthewmcalister2165 good think he quit! He might not have lived as long as he did had he not. I’m now 14 years smoke free! Just quit drinking too thanks to Allen’s alcohol book!
That is EXACTLY how I did it! Barb & Allen Carr. Amazing!
@@michelecarlson6262 they are angels in heaven now for sure.
@GT -R Definitely, he almost certainly wouldn’t have lived until 72. Congrats! I hope that you have many many more smoke-free years ahead of you :)
Its been 7mos now and i still wacth this to keep me smoke free R.I P barb I love you
I quit smoking after over 40 years, sometimes two packs a day. It's not easy and it took me three times. It's now been three years and four months.
Good job friend now my turn :)
gail LeDuc ..I quit when I was 35 . I had difficulty breathing, and I can't tell you how much money, literally, went up in smoke, I am now 77 I know that if had not stopped I would be long dead by now.
Good job
gail LeDuc amen
Congratulations!
6 years smoker, 5 month tobaccos free.
Everytime i crave for a cigg, i watch this video
Good to hear. Hopefully now two years later you’re still smoke free.
I really actually cried while watching this... My dad died 4 years ago when i were 12... This reminds me of him :-(((
We lost my dad, Jesse, his dad his mom, Terri and her. I wish the government would crush all cigarettes companies, give everyone who smokes 100% treatment paid by the former cigarette companies. But... We don't have to be their SLAVES in smoking. Don't smoke... Ever. Please😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Tobacco companies are mass war criminals and should be tortured hung and shot.
Same just smash em all especially MARLBORO my dad smokes those I’m not letting my dad die of the, but still destroy them all
1 month cigarette free! Hopefully many more to come. God bless barb tar box and her family.
is that you ?
Good job! Are you 2 tears free now?
CONGRATULATIONS LAYLA ADDOW KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I AM 19 YEARS SMOKE FREE MYSELF
@@randomperson-po1ss NOPE I AM 19 YEARS SMOKE FREE RANDOM PERSON I QUIT BEFORE THE TURN OF THE CENTURY
I pray you didn't relapse
Barb Tarbox was amazing to use her pain and illness to try to save others. Her daughter must be so proud.
This woman is doing a huge service for these kids. That was heartfelt and must have been tough for her. I hope the kids listen.
been quit almost 2 months so far so good.
Bit late but keep going!
Never too late if you are not sick.
changing the way we look at tobacco and the industry got me through smoking, i always had that atitude (They are smoking and enjoying themselves and i cant) and i always fall back, now i have a new vision i dislike the poison , i pity people who use it and look at them as sick and dependant while i gain health and save money

Without smoking u can enjoy life much much better.its like a blessing believe me.i know what its like to be smoke free.

Getting cancer is no joke, last person I lost 2 it was my uncle in 2014. He was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in the summer of 2014, and tragically passed away in November of that same year, he was 56. He was smoking cigarettes 4 as long as I can remember. In 2011, I smoked cigarettes 4 a few months and I quit b4 I ended up addicted, I will never go back 2 them. R.I.P. Barb
10:44-12:47 is one of the most painful reminders of what smoking can do. It's because of people like Barb that I never want to smoke a day in my life.
I cried sitting on my couch for a while after watching that scene
I lost both of my paternal grandparents because of smoking. My grandfather, who was an outdoors man suffered from COPD for several years, and was chained to an oxygen machine, hardly able to get around, hardly saw the outside for the last 6 1/2 years of his life. My grandmother died about 7 years later from lung cancer. I watched that healthy strong willed woman in her 70's wither away into nothing in less than a year. I wouldn't touch a cigarette with a ten foot pole after seeing them die the way they did. I love that Barb didn't spare any details, because the diseases that come from smoking sure as hell don't.
I quit smoking 10 years ago and lost 80 pounds and became a marathon runner and I love my life
This video made me cry, I need my parents to quit smoking so badly! they are 47 years old and have been smoking 20 years+ :'(
My dad died of lung cancer 5 years ago and I still miss him.
My dad was 33 when my grandfather died of emphysema at 57. I couldn't imagine losing my dad in 10 years (I'm 23), I'm glad my dad doesn't smoke at all.
They have to want to stop! U cant help them.
Its been 12 years and I still watch her, shes the reason I quit smoking 😢 rip amd thank you
Courageous lady. Very powerful and moving. Kind wishes and condolences to her family and friends.
I am watching this video in 2021. An unknown person suggested me this video. I have cried a lot while watching this. Give me strength to quit smoking 🙏 Suggest me something better everyday ❤️

July 10 2015
I HAVE BEEN QUIT 19 YEARS JUST BEFORE THE TURN OF THE CENTURY MARY GONNELLO
@@robmoir7524 Do you still get cravings sometimes?
Quit January 2017. It is possible!
God i am crying at this...may Barb rest in peace.
My grand uncle, an attorney and father of three, died in the 50s I believe, from heavy smoking, at 45. We should remember people such as him and Mrs Tarbox. Rest in peace and rise in glory.
This video is so heart touching
As a former smoker, eveytime I want to buy a pack I look at this video fully and when its at 13:57 I cry Eveytime because losing your life due to smoking for some stress is just ain't worth it.
I met her in her final days tho which really affects me I still remember when I left her and lit that cigarette how of a cruel person I was. Glad I stoped smoking.
This woman is saving many lives.
She's a hero God bless his family.
I WILL NEVER SMOKE NEVER
I feel like crying when I see this.its so painful
Welp, here I go. Been seeing your face on my pack for weeks now and I'm going to do you proud. July 7, 2021. I'd say wish me luck, but I don't need it. It won't even be hard after watching this. I have so many good things in line to replace this nasty habit. Going to hug my soulmate extra tight tonight and never look back. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my soul.
People need to take this in not say we all got to die of something when this happens to you you will wish you never had that attitude.
i work in a petro canada ( student job ) and seeing mother of young baby ask for their cigarets, ... each time i feel a litle guilty.
Hope her message won't be forgotten.
What year was this from?
So saddened by this video 😞
diz0973ify yes it’s difficult to watch but you can’t hide from the truth.
i'am still smokefree its not easy but i keep looking forward
She was taken too soon! Such a brave woman! Rest In Jesus
She was exquisite....beautiful....some one needs to cure lung diseases all of them.....they are far behind the rest of the diseases.....This is a human travesty.....cigarettes are horrible...let's stop the stigma....the opioid addicts get sympathy, empathy and help....think about that...it's the way smokers should be too....why not.....
This is so sad..
I lost my last living maternal uncle 2 advance stage 4 prostate cancer. He was 56 in 2014, he smoked cigarettes since I was little in the 90s but I am sure he has got further b4 I was born. I used 2 smoke 4 awhile and I am glad I quit and I only did it 4 one month in my mid 20s. Cancer is a beast, it can affect any1. R.I.P. Barb Tarbox. He was diagnosed in the summer of 2014 and he unfortunately passed away in Nov 2014 after losing the battle.
Sad. And great message to the younger generation. Weirdly, and unfortunately, lung cancer doesn’t afflict just smokers. And, also, my lifelong smoker of a great grandmother lived to 95. Just live your life.
I hate smoking because when I gave it up I put on 70lbs of solid fat..DAMN YOU SMOKING
You may be overweight but damnit you're ALIVE! And overtime you will become healthier and stronger again! Congratulations! Here is to your new life!!!
TheLadyssnape i'll never pick it up again i'll tell you that, I can't even stand the smell of it..

Happy 55th birthday =D forgot to leave ya from jun 23 2016
That's so sad. When I think about what's in cigarettes and to think people are breathing that in, it makes me want to throw up.
She has a little girl of 9years old.its hard to just leave the world just because of smoking.everything is just over .its really sad sad sad.
I've been a non-smoker for life!
I quit smoking almost 6 years ago I watched my mom die from COPD stage 4 and I quit on the first try because I watched how my mama suffered she passed away November 1st 2018 rest in peace Mama💜
❤
I wish the British teens would HAVE to watch this.
I have been smoke free for going on 9 years now. You can do it!!.
Like, even though your lungs were hosed and you were doomed, you were still gorgeous. Now we all miss you. You go, girl!
Rest in power, Barb! May your memory be a blessing 😿 I’m so glad I don’t smoke.
i'm sorry :( :( did your dad pass away from smoking ? my uncle had lung cancer, also caused by smoking .. he left behind 1 daughter aged 5 years old :( ...
The most ironic name in history.
Poor lady. Tarbox is an apt yet horrible name. Rest in peace and rise in glory. This inspires me to continue as a non-smoker and use cognitive defusion for my anxiety.
My mum had something similar. This women was very attractive looking to how sad.
Very brave and heroic, she will surely have saved some of those kids from a similar fate i'm sure
Happy 50th birthday barb
I remember her giving a talk at my school in elementary.
