The tar found in tobacco is very different from the tar used on roads.

This statement is false. "Tar" is a black, thick liquid formed as a by-product of coke production or coal burning, but may also be produced from burning petroleum, peat or wood. The tar in cigarettes is due to the combustion of the tobacco and other substances; whereas, the tar used on road is a result of the byproduct of crude oil distillation. These tars, or tarmac, are similar in nature.

Tar found in tobacco is a common name used to refer to the partially combusted resinous material. This is toxic and damages the lungs of the smoker while the tar that is used in the roads is a product of the petroleum. This coal tar is a byproduct of coke production.

Is this used on a test? ?
