Drive by herfing: Tell me about it

I only smoke on car trips occasionally and I hate to say it but, it does stink up the chariot a little bit. I also live in Houston though, so it rarely gets too cold to smoke outside.

I smoked a cigar on the way to work about a week ago. I forgot to leave the windows open while I was in work so I sprayed the inside down with fabreeze then I turned the air to recirculate the cabin air since it's equiped with a cabin air filter. I also drove with the windows down on the way home and now it doesn't smell. It did take a few days to get the smell all the way out but it's fine now. One thing to think about is make sure you clean all the glass in the car because the smoke will stick to it like a film and possibly cause them to fog up.

The best suggestions have been stated so far, and I found the tips from Mark Neff's piece on stogiereview.com

1. Fresh Air vent on and pointing to floor
2. Driver side window cracked
3. Smoke away

what I do to get rid of the smell is once a week, I take a baking soda based carpet deodorizer (states for pet smells and smoke specifically) and liberally sprinkle any cloth surface. I normally let the deodorizer "soak" up the smells for a day or two if I can, and then vacuum it up. Gents, the smell is GONE after this. I don't even wipe down the interior of the windows with windex as Mark suggested, even though I'm sure that would help even more. But those deodorizers work really well for me.
