Can a whole lung lavage remove nicotine or tar from the lungs?

How exactly does this work? I’ve heard celebrities undergo this procedure due to their smoking habits but can it really reverse the effects?

No idea about the tar, but nicotine doesn’t get stuck in your lungs. Its a chemical (actually a natural pesticide) that is absorbed into your blood stream via your lungs.

Contrary to the common messaging nicotine in and of itself in the doses contained in cigarettes isn’t really harmful. It is addictive, extremely so. And other things in cigarettes are extremely harmful.
