I can't be alone in having smoked at one stage. And in my experience once you have a Camaro you tend to keep them, often after you have given up smoking.

So here is a tip to rid the inside of the car from stale cigarette smoke:-
Leave a cardboard box full of newly cut grass clippings on the back seat for a few weeks.
Best of all pull up some sweet woodruff (plant) -(galium odoratum) and let it dry in a cardboard box- after about three weeks on your back seat- you will no longer have stale cigarette smoke smells-- this can also be used to rid the car of wet dog smells!
Both of these give off the chemical coumarin which does the business.
