Also, I may be about to sell a car that has the smell. If I chose to try to clean it, how to make it not smell like tobacco for a potential buyer?


Saul
Like Abe said try not to run heat or ac while smoking
Windows cracked

Frebreeze or Ozium

If your getting ready to sell
Replace cabin air filter
Clean the windows
Shampoo carpets, seats (if cloth) and clean the headliner for Sure
Woolite carpet cleaner works good is easy and smells great but smell doesn’t linger for long
then run a box fan inside the car to quick dry

If the car is real bad smelling diluted vinegar to clean with but test carpets or seat’s before doing the whole thing then sun dry for a day with windows and doors open
Don’t use those little rear view mirror smelling Christmas trees (some people like it but people who don’t really hate that smell )

Touch up interior with automotive detailing cleaners they make a car smell like a clean car

Easy peasy
Well maybe not easy but worth it

I like a cleaned car with a freshly smoked aroma

I didn't consider the AC or heater! Oh well. It'll just have a smell then.

Since I've gotten back into aromatics, I typically smoke those in the car. I don't mind a lighter non-aromatic blend from time to time in the car. I haven't gotten comments. I've asked passengers if the car smells bad and no one has complained.

If it makes the OP feel better, my truck smells amazing like a tub of SWRA.

I have tried smoking while driving and I don't like it. I can't enjoy the pipe and it distracts from my driving.

I couldn't do it. I'm not coordinated enough. Heck, I can barely walk across the floor with a pipe in my mouth!
