Unfortunately for smokers, there are no vitamins-or anything else for that matter!-capable of removing the tar from inhaled cigarette smoke from the lungs. Once it's in there, it's pretty much there to stay. This is why smoking is so detrimental to health. Each puff of a cigarette adds another layer of carcinogenic tar onto the lungs sensitive tissue, making it harder for the underlying alveoli-sacs to perform their task of absorbing oxygen and excreting carbon dioxide.
