#23 Odor Eliminator?

Can't coment on the #23.
Tricks that have worked for me for years.
Never have one lit with you pull up and park for a period of time. i.e. get it thrown out the window before you get to the parking lot. Will give some time for air to circulate in before you park. This is the one that's given me the biggest change by far. Eliminates that stagnant smoke that will sink into everything in a sealed up vehicle.
Crack windows every once in a while over night.
Febreeze "auto" works well for me.
Never leave butts in a vehicle.
I have a friend that bought one of those 12V ionizers. Works wonders on cars that have been traded in at his dealership. Was a really nice one though. Quite expensive.
Might not always get it all but I was able to go for years without my family knowing I was smoking (when I was younger) and people I had just met that rode in my trucks never knew I smoked till I lit one up.
edit: One thing I forgot is that when stopped especially at a light and if the weather permits it at all I'll have the window open and hang it completely out of the vehicle. Reducing stagnant smoke as well.
I might also add that I smoke cigars which might at first smell more strongly, have proven to have a smell that is more easily removed then back when I was smoking ciggarettes.

Quitting - no option.
Smoking outside - no option. Daily commute plus stressful job =
What's weird is people who get in my truck usually think it just smells like cologne. I notice it a lot though especially when I first get in. I'd crack my windows at night, but lately it's been real moist in the morning. I'd rather my truck smell like smoke than mildew. I do sometimes smoke when just sitting though, that probably doesn't help matters any.
Thanks for all the pointers. Except for Thump.

I used to take yoga so I know all about the deep breathing exercises.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of #23. Cig-smoke is a unique beast that is nearly impossible to conquer.
The best results would be achieved by an ozone machine but, even then, you're going to still have it. #23 will certainly not hinder but, it's masking more than it's removing.
The bottom line -- it's going to smell like smoke. There is *no* silver bullet on this one.

When I got my truck I got it from someone who smoked. It was terrible. I went and got like 6 of those little jars from Walmart.. with the No Smoking sign on them.. They definitely don't smell amazing but I kept them in there for several weeks then replaced them with some good smelling stuff while leaving 2 under the seats and no one can tell anymore.. It was way more effective then I thought it would be.

One of those little perks I gotta live with, like the prospects of cancer I suppose.
