Assuming the tar is coming from smoking the long term effect would be malignancy or cancer so "A"

When you smoke the tar predisposes you toward respiratory infection and bad breath. Smoking also has an effect on the cilia that line the airway causing paralysis and degradation, everytime one smokes.
