My car is the last trigger I have for analogs. I think that getting the smoke smell out will help. Any ideas?

I had it professionally detailed and regularly use the Febreeze for cars. Smells wonderful in there now whereas it used to choke me getting in it.
Febreze works really well. Its what I used to get the smoke smell off of everything that smells like smoke.
EDIT: Wow same timing Kyrssi! haha

Consider me your recycling center for njoy Pro, Smoking Everywhere Gold, Cloud 9, Smoke 51 Trio, and DSE103 useless batteries.
Other hardware if it’s still usable.
Those I loan out to/give to thank you.

I put a bunch of coffee beans under my seats.It absorbs the cig smell and smells great.
That's a great idea Keyz!
I remember mine still smelled after a professional cleaning so I got a new car. Damn, wish I had thought about the coffee beans, they make a great nasal palate cleanser too

What Odor (yes, the informercial stuff) really worked well for me. My wife, who HATES the smell of cigarettes and has a bloodhound's sense of smell, wouldn't ride in my car for the longest time. 2 good spray downs with What Odor later and she says it smelled like a cigarette never crossed the threshold.
At first I wasn't too keen on the actual scent of What Odor--it's very detergenty. But the actual smell doesn't linger after the stuff does its job on the smoke smell. So if you try it, don't freak out if you don't like the smell.

But how do stand the smell of Febreeze?!
Coffee is good. Also try a flat container with vinegar in it under the seat. If you put a few paper towels in it, then soak them with the vinegar it won't spill.

anti icky poo amazing defunker as i would call it. Gets the smell of anything out with it
A good interior detailing (and exterior while you're at it) complete with upholstery shampooing will often do the trick, and is worth the money. Ask the place if they have any special chemicals to remove the cig smell: they often do. And make sure they will hit the headliner and underneath the seats. Then you can use the What Smell after if there still is a bit of lingering. If you have a cabin air filter, change it. If you have access to pressurized air, blow down your vents, ALL of them. Clean the HELL out of the ashtray, and get rid of the cigarette lighter. That includes the receptacle part of the ashtray that's in the dash! And inside the cig lighter... pull the fuse, use electronics contact cleaner, then plug the fuse back in once it's dry. After all, you'll be using it for your USB passthrough anyway, right? Get rid of your old floormats before hand and get a new set, you probably needed new ones anyway .
Once you get your car to a pristine condition, that in itself is a powerful deterrent to smoking any analogs in it. After spending a couple hundred bucks on a good detailing, you want to ruin it with cig smoke? Nah.

Detailing the car is a good idea. But to really deal with the smell the best thing I've found is ONA. Odor Neutralizing Agent. You'll want the "Block" version. It's what coroners use to deal with smell, and that says a lot. The easiest place to buy it is a local hydroponics store. If you don't have one of those around, or would rather not shop at one, here's a link to some online places. The stuff works great and lasts a really long time (weeks if not months). It'll leave your car smelling faintly of freshly done laundry.
Just poke/drill a couple of small holes in the lid and set it under your seat or put it in a cup holder. Start out with only a couple of holes, and add more if you need to. It's very effective. I found it helps pull the smell from drapes and clothes. It doesn't mask the smell, it removes it - somehow...
I also put a jar in my office and in my garage. I haven't found anything else that works as well.

I agree with a previous post. Just don't smoke anymore and simply vape. The smell goes away naturally. Another thing that is so nice is that annoying smoke film on the windows. That also goes away - even without cleaning them. One more thing - all those annoying ashes on the dash - GONE!
I LOVE VAPING !!!

Don't forget to clean the smoke film off of the glass. The only product that I have used that worked is called Spray-Way. It's in a blue and white aerosol can and is available at Home Depot and Costco.
It also works on vinyl and plastic dashes.
It smells nice too

OZIUM...it's the best stuff I have ever used. I used to take it with me while traveling to remove the smoking odor from rental cars, (and the occasional non-smoking hotel rooms
). You can get it at auto parts stores or Wal-Mart for $2.00 or $3.00 and it comes in a few different scents.
