Clearing both Heat and dirt from the Lungs will aid tobacco withdrawal.
Tobacco tar is very sticky and heavy…it cannot be removed by the Lung
easily, and it is also Hot, which makes it worse (the Heat tends to Dry the
Lung, concentrating the tar, which increases the Heat locked in the tar, so
this imbalance requires a ‘contradictory’ herbal formula that can Cool Heat
without increasing Damp as Heat-clearing herbals tend to, and Dry Damp
without increasing Heat, as Drying herbals tend to).

Such formulas do exist, however. During the 16th century the Qing Fei ("Clean
Lung") formulas were developed to their current high state (tobacco was
actually introduced agriculturally to China in that century, but this formula
class was actually originally an extension of tuberculosis
formulae–something that is again becoming important, though since the
medical authorities insist that this is merely an horrific infection, the
fact that our modern lifestyle is very Drying to the Lung, unnecessarily
setting the stage for that infection, is ignored).

A competent East-Asian Traditional Healer can supply such a thing, and Bu Fei
Tang, available in Chinatowns, is a similar formula. IN addition, Cooling
exercise like Tai Ji Chuan, help restore the Lung. DO NOT USE GARLIC IN THIS
SITUATION.
