One of the most difficult odors to eliminate is that of cigarette smoke in a car. The particles of the smoke are so small that they can penetrate into and onto everything. This makes removing the odor quite difficult. It's not impossible to remove this odor; it isn't easy and it is time consuming, but it can be done. With some perseverance and a little bit of elbow grease this odor can be eliminated.
First you will want to open the windows and let some fresh air into the car. This won't eliminate the odor, but it may reduce the smell enough that you can begin working at eliminating the odor.
To actually eliminate the smell every surface has to be cleaned including the windows inside the car. There are several household products that can be used to help eliminate the odor and clean at the same time.
As a way of preventing the smell in the first place, put baking soda into the ashtray. At the bottom of the ashtray place a layer of the baking soda; this will help absorb the smoke odor. Remember to replace and clean out often.
Also try putting dryer fabric-softener sheets under the seat, as this will also help keep the cigarette and other smells under control.
