In high school, between the ages of 14 and 16, she was a model for fashion companies and joined many sports in her school. She wanted to be popular, and being a model was not enough; so she then became a smoker{{Citation needed|reason=According to the CBC obituarty (http://www.cbc.ca/news2/obit/tarbox_barb), she had been smoking since age 11, prior to her becoming a model|date=January 2016}}. During the last months of Tarbox's life she went around Canada teaching young adults the consequences of smoking.[1] Perhaps most memorably, she emphasized how she was unable to quit smoking even after she found out that she had cancer.[2] Tarbox died at a hospital in Edmonton on May 18, 2003 at the age of 42 from brain cancer and lung cancer.[1] On December 5, 2003, Barb Tarbox was posthumously awarded the Meritorious Service Medal[3] by Her Excellency, the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, Governor General of Canada, for devotion to the anti-smoking cause. The decoration was accepted in Ottawa by her daughter, Mackenzie. On December 30, 2010, the Government of Canada unveiled tougher anti-smoking images on their cigarette packaging including two images that feature Barb Tarbox during her last days.[4] See also
