How to remove tar from my lungs?

I wanted to know if there is any way to rinse of, flush down, or may be suck the tar out of my lungs every once in a while, to keep them tuned up. I do not plan to quit smoking, i just want to get my lungs cleaned every once in a while so i can maintain their health to some extent. May be you can suggest a way that deals with reducing tar on daily basis. some breathing exercises may be, that will cut off the accumulated tar slowly but regularly. I know such a solution would not help me entirely regenerate my lungs but it could at least keep them in a better shape than now. I need an ongoing process that keeps my lungs in a comparatively healthier condition without totally quitting smoke. although i already have reduced my smoking habits to a great extent.

Hi!
I know this is something you do not want to hear but the only way to keep your lungs healthy is to quit smoking. Deep breathing exercises, blowing into a balloon, yoga, brisk walking etc all make your lungs strong. Along with this you need to quit smoking, avoid second hand smoke, avoid polluted areas with smoke and dust, and eat healthy and drink 6-8 glasses of water every day. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
