What kind of "tar" are you asking about? I'm sure you don't mean "Nicotine tar"....but there are many kinds of tar which are the byproduct of burning any substrate to the the point of melting it. Tar is the residue left behind after burning.

"Coal tar", has the medicinal property of soothing eczema and other itchy skin rashes. It was the medicine of choice before Cortisone was discovered.
