[Gun Smoke]

Parents bought a car and didn't realize previous was a pipe smoker. Very bad. Took it to a fire damage company and they ran an industrial ion generator inside it. This actually worked.

Good to know info.

Cigarette odor gets into everything. Carpet can be shampoo'd or replaced but how many would replace the carpet pad underneath? Seats can be replaced or re-upolstered but the foam is molded so replacement there is usally not doable unless the whole seat is trashed. The headliner is difficult to clean and is glued to cardboard so steaming it or getting it wet may not be feasible.

Whenever I take one of my cars in for service at an unfamilar place I am blunt with them. I tell them up front "if you smoke in it you bought it."

Most people who smoke seem to be young women.

And bikers. Every once in a while I will see the old grey beard riding with a lit cigarette in his mouth. So cool.

During my Army days we non-smokers made it clear that the cigarettes we got in our C rations were for trading only. Got tired of the smokers and their sense of entitlement. I read about the Marine snipers course in Vietnam, the OIC rejected smokers for their lack of self discipline.
One woman I knew, said her father was a smoker and not much of a provider, they were pretty sore when it caught up with him and they had to take care of him, they made him go cold turkey.
