Tar Wars is a tobacco-free
education program for fourth- and fifth-grade students. The program is
designed to teach kids about the short-term, image-based consequences of
tobacco use, the cost associated with using tobacco products, and the
advertising techniques used by the tobacco industry to market their
products to youth.

Tar
Wars program to 4th graders of the
Spencer Borden, Greene, N.B. Borden, Osborne, Watson, Laurel Lake,
