Congratulations on taking the first step towards quitting smoking and cleaning your lungs! Here's a comprehensive solution to help remove tar from your lungs: Natural Remedies 1. Drink plenty of water: Hydration helps flush out toxins, including tar. 2. Steam inhalation: Inhale steam from a bowl of hot water or a steam humidifier to loosen mucus and tar. 3. Ginger and turmeric: Consume ginger and turmeric tea or add them to your meals to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. 4.
