Default Removing Cigarette Smoke?

Any of you guys know a good way to get the smoke smell out of a truck? A friend of mine smoked 3 cigarettes in my truck the other night and I didn't have time to spray it with something the next morning and I'll be gone for about a month so I'm sure the smell will be somewhat "stained" in there when I get back. I'm sure there is something I can do?!..

3 cigaretts arent anything worth worying about. the odor will eventually go away on its own. febreez would probably help. if its an everyday smoked in car that smell is damn near impossible to get out!

can you just roll the windows down for a little while before you go..3 cigs shouldnt hang around to long at all. I dont smoke anymore but if my brother or friends smoke in my truck when we go out on a weekend, its only in there for a day or two.

how about opening all the doors, blow it out with an electric leaf blower, then spray something that smells good in there, lock her up.

Haha, I actually have gotten some foam spray smell good stuff and sprayed it everywhere and hurried up and locked it up. It looked like a foam pit in the truck but it all dissolved pretty quick.

A fabric softener sheet or two under the seat will absorb the smell. Also, if it's bad enough an open carton of baking soda will help.

do u have cloth seats? if so.. i know how that smell can linger, i hate it. I smoke on occasion, but any girl i have in the car doesnt like the smell so im always cleaning my seats.... i own a carpet cleaning company, so its easy for me to clean my own seats and floor mats... but if you know a company that'll do it for cheap, let a carpet cleaning company do it but only if they "steam clean"... none of this dry cleaning or bonnet cleaning bullshit. They usually use a deordorizer in with the chemical to clean and it smells great for weeks afterwards...

too bad you dont live in GA or i'd do it for you for like $40
