“Tar Wars offers a unique opportunity for family physicians to interact with young children on the perils of tobacco use at the most appropriate age. It’s easy, takes only one hour of one day, requires minimal pre-presentation work, and most of all, its fun!”
Patrick B. Harr, MD, Past President, American Academy of Family Physicians

“The first time that a family doctor signs up is often from a sense of duty to help the lives of their patients. The second time they do Tar Wars is because of how much fun they had with the kids the first time. Doing Tar Wars helps keep me fresh. Seeing and hearing the kids enthusiastically respond to the Tar Wars message helps bring energy back to my practice of medicine.”
Jeff Cain, MD, Chair, Department of Family Medicine at Children’s Hospital, Denver, Colorado

“It’s excellent! This was my first time presenting – the curriculum was well organized and prepared. It was easy to follow – and the kids seemed to love it.”
Kathy Gorski, APN, Nurse Practitioner, University of Nevada Las Vegas Health Center

“Tar Wars has allowed me to reach out to and interact with the people that need tobacco education the most…kids. We can talk with them before they are faced with the pressures of middle school, and if we can help just one student stay away from tobacco, we have helped save lives.”
2LT Christopher W. Bunt, USAFR, USU Class of 2003

“Tar Wars has been an excellent program for residents. It provides an opportunity for involvement in the community for the residency as a whole and for each of the individual residents who participate. We’ve all gone into medicine with the goal of helping people. Students and residents have the energy and enthusiasm to really get across to our young audiences.”
Jason R. Kessler, MD, Kids Health Pediatrics, Fort Smith, Arkansas
