I always thought cigarettes contain tar, as in the substance asphalt on the road is made from. It always felt weird to me, why would they put it in the cigarettes but I figured maybe they need it so the tobacco doesn't fall out or something.

Wait, they don't contain tar?

In the same way that they don't contain ash. The tar and ash are produced by combustion.
