Try some dryer sheets under the seats - a very cheap but very effective stank-reducer.

It's trange how cigarette smoke is one of the only smells tht never seems to go away.

I remember back in the day, my buddy would let us smoke the whole car out with weed (his parents car), because that smell disappeared. But cigarettes were out of the question - and he's right - weed smoke dissipates, while cig smoke stays like....forever.

Oh well, I lit up a Parliament as I drove off the dealer lot in by brand new P5 with 12 miles on the odo last year. Guess it's penetrated by now.

Oh no! My resale value!

I think because the weed does not have any additives to it...cigarettes do...maybe that is the major reason why it sticks so well on anything and everything....

Just like when I go out bar hoping...spray myself with enough armani to kill flys...but when I come home, all I smell is cigarette smoke on my clothes...

And the only way to get rid of it is washing it throughly....

I am so happy that no one has yet cursed my car with cig smoke.

A plate with a pile of Baking on it soda in the car when you leave it overnight. Don't forget to take it out before you drive or it makes a big mess!!
