Episode 1: Who is Dr. Jack Dillenberg?

Who is Dr. Jack Dillenberg? And why are we doing this podcast about him?

If you were a kid in the early 90s, especially if you grew up in Arizona, you might remember a series of public service announcements/television ads with the slogan, “Tobacco: The Tumor-Causing, Teeth-Staining, Smelly, Puking Habit.”

That slogan came from the mind of Dr. Jack Dillenberg, who was the Director of the Arizona Department of Health at the time. The slogan inspired an award-winning public health campaign that became a national sensation. And it actually achieved the goal of preventing youth tobacco use.

It’s just one example of the many ways that “Dr. Jack” has impacted global public health--maybe even yours.

You Don’t Know Jack!

But you should. And that's why we are launching this podcast!
