Is there a way to prevent/easily remove tar stains on fingers from smoking? (please no "quit smoking" answers)
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Just from personal experience... It's all about how you hold the smoke, if you release the smoke momentarily when your sucking back most of the crap is released through holes in the filter and that contributes the staining of your fingers. When your just holding a lit cigarette try holding it with your thumb and middle finger instead of your index and middle finger. It points the smoke upwards and not back and upward into your hand, works wonders, you should never have to worry about stains again.

Dip one quarter of a lemon in sugar, use it like a sponge. The lemon will work to lighten the skin while the sugar exfoliates, getting rid of the old dead skin.
Do this a few nights a week and you'll see the results! Oh, and it's cheap!

M$To remove, you can rub with lime (lemon) everyday. Don't rub too hard. Just cut a lemon in half, and rub using that.

Oh yes, and I suggest you get the bar soap so you can really get the pumice to work. I have dry, sensitive skin, but LAVA soap has never caused me any irritations.
You can get LAVA at any art store. But I am going to dig some links up for you as well. I feel certain nicotine stains will come out if oil paint and hair dye will......

If the following is true:
"The chemicals that cause cancer are mainly in the tar."
http://www.ehealthmd.com/library/smoking/SMO_cigarettes.html
Then if you use a cigarette substitute like this where there
is nicotine, but it looks like there is no tar...
"Only a harmless vapor is emitted."
http://www.supercig.com/
Could that eliminate the cancer problem as well as the stained fingers and cleaning them and worry about possible damage from the cleaning agents?
Just asking - that would be bonus if it worked I would think, and .....
Would that also eliminate possible long-term problems with cleaning agents? see below....
