A member asked:
Could breathing in steam help your clear your lungs from smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!!!: No steam is boiling water in vapor form and could burn your lungs. Now cold steam will not work either. Cells in the lung called macrophages will "clean" the lungs over time. Avoid smoke.
