First off, congratulatins on breaking one of the strongest addictions there is.
As far as loosening up the tar in your lungs, I wouldn't agree with that. It will, however, loosen up any secretions you have in there. Help you cough up some goop maybe.
Steam is generally good for you unless you have any upper respiratory infections, like croup or one of those. The heat will increase swelling and there's not a lot of room there.
Keep with it! You've made a wonderful choice to get your health in check.
Oh yes! He's absolutley right!Or you can just go in the bathroom shut the door turn the shower on really hot and breath in that steam.This works too.
