No. The "tar" is a sticky residue left when smoke dissolves in the fluid of the lungs. It is not an addictive substance like nicotine, and is only slowly removed from the tissues. Because it can prevent the cilia from cleaning the air in the lungs, and allow toxic substances to reach the alveoli, it is one of the most carcinogenic ingredients in tobacco smoke.
