The way we used to do it in a dealership was to take a cup half full of unused coffee grounds, put several apple slices on top of the coffee grounds, sit the cup on the trans hump in front of the front seat, and park the vehicle in the hot sun for a couple of days. Might be short on the hot sun this time of year.

Auto detailers can treat with ozone gas, which gets rid of a lot of odors.

A product called Fabreeze in a spray bottle will get rid of the smell. I used it in a truck I bought.

You can cover it up with some other kind of stink but you can't get rid if it.Jim

I bought a small, battery powered ozone generator on Ebay that was supposed to go in a refrigerator. Cost less that $10.

Ran it overnight and during the day when the truck was parked for about 2 weeks. It removed about 95% of the smell. Don"t run it for extended periods. The ozone is very hard on any vinyl in the interior.

Just get some good shampoo, and shampoo inside from top to bottom. Takes lots of hard work and elbow grease, but it will get the smoke smell out. Dealers call this type of cleaning, "Full Detail"
I bought a Plymouth mini van in Aug 2009, which was owned by heavy smoker. I shampoed carpet, seats, door panels, dash, and head liner. There is no hint of smoke odor now, My older sister rode with me on a 2hr trip, did not affect her at all, and she is extremely allergic to cigarette smoke. There is NO short cuts for removing cigarette odor from interior.
