Hi I was wondering if anyone knew a natural remedy to get rid of the cigarette smell in the car after you start vaping I really don't want to use strong chemicals or generic air fresheners and was wondering if there's a natural remedy for this thanks

Have owned cards that I smoked in and bought ones that someone else did, the simple answer is no.
A professional deep clean of the car and then using air fresheners helps, but the smell will always linger to some degree unfortunately.

Fire....very natural remedy, very effective. Very important, make sure you have full coverage insurance. Other options are cliffs and deep water. Good luck to you and don’t get caught.
IMPORTANT EDIT:make sure you get out of the car first!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the late correction. I hope you read this first

I never tried it (didnt cook in mine), but on a few RV forums people talk of using charcoal to take out food smells in their campers.
So mabey a couple of containers of charcoal in the floorboards for a few days in a closed up car may help. Just a thought.

Probably depends on how bad it is. Back when I smoked, I got in my BIL's car and almost puked. He always had the windows closed and used the ashtray.
You could leave an industrial ozone generator in there for 8h that should get rid of most of the smell.
Or, you know

When I stopped, I had my car cleaned/detailed really well - carpets and all and I could still smell it. I went over all the interior windows with vinegar and water solution and yellow gross stuff still came off even though it had been detailed. Then, when you park your car for the night fill a few small bowls with baking soda and in the morning throw away the used baking soda.
I did the baking soda for a week.
Then drive around for a day with all the windows and vents open.
Fresh and new smell.

I had a musty basement I wanted to deodorize and looked around, found this method suggested for cars and enclosed spaces: soak a sponge in vinegar and put it in some sort of plastic container ( the vid I saw had a plastic travel soap dish?) with holes in the top. Refresh if it dries out but don't leave too much vinegar in the container if in a car in case of sloshing.
Shampoo carpet & all upholstery, if leather seating use a quality leather cleaner folllwed by a conditioner.
Most folks forget about the headliner if you want smoke smell free it has to be cleaned also.
If it has a cabin air filter ( filters air coming into hvac system) it needs to be changed.
Many places rent ozone generators, leave one window slightly open just enough so the power cord is not pinched.
Run it for 8hrs to overnight, afterwards turn off & remove, lower all windows & allow to air out for 3 - 4 hours.
The folks I know that do it professionally for really funky odors let the vehicle run with a/c on recirculate high fan speed for 1-2 hours while the oz gen is running.

Reading the comments, kinda hesitant to say febreeze ?
I don't own a car anyway but that's what i used for my room and it worked at least
Probably not as efficient as throwing it off a cliff though......

Well when my ex-girlfriend set the back seat of my car on fire I cut 4 apples in half and tossed them under the seats and after a week no more smoke smell but that was different smoke but worth a try.
Much of the smell is in the headliner.
Be careful if shampooing this, as some use a cardboard like backing.

Nuke it from orbit ... only way to be sure.
