    Heavy Cigar Smell... Help!

    Any suggestions on the Best, most affordable way to eliminate cigarette/cigar smell in a vehicle? ... I have used average products, which seem to get the job done for a short amount of time, as I can`t yet afford the thousand dollar ozone generator... Any suggestions?!? ...

    Thanks!!!! ...

    The interior has absorbed the nicotine and tar and may likely never return to normal without replacing carpet, headliner, seat cushions, or an expensive ozone procedure.

    My brother bought a used Camry that belonged to a heavy smoker. Three years later, it still stinks.

    When I do a smoker`s car I put vinegar in a bowl and leave it in the car over night.

    The vinegar trick worked for me. I`m sure if it will work alone because I did so much before I got to that point. Good luck with that. I still twich and have bad dreams everytime I smell a cigar....
