I've been around cars all my life, it depends on how long it was smoked it and how it was smoked in. If the smoker smoked with the windows up and the AC running, that smell will never go away. If they smoked with the windows down and blew smoke out of the window, then mayyybe you have a shot at it. That smoke smell is embedded into every single fiber of the car, and gets into the vents and heater core and evap core. You might be able to get the smell out by replacing the entire interior down to the cores. Other than that, the smell will always linger back on a hot day. Do not buy a smoked in car hoping you can get rid of it completely.

If one doesn’t use the ash tray (water bottle only), has the windows down, climate system off and try not to burn the seat, headliner, door card or carpet it’s mostly gone the next day.

From experience i could say this is not true… i bought a corrolla that reeked of cigarettes.. i used the ozone generator like 5 times and a lot of shampoo on a clothe interior and eventually the car smelled great.. no scent of cigarettes at all..

Thanks for this video--knowing the power of ozone machines is key. I understand that the ozone generator probably did 80 to 90% of the work, but without the earlier work you did, you and your family would still be breathing in smoke. That is you are decreasing your risk of third hand smoke (that's actually the term in this case). Especially for people at risk for asthma,. Lots of people have epi-genetic predispositions for conditions which smoke stress on their system can catalyze additional conditions. This is especially an issue of babies, kids, and teens who don't have the more resilient biological systems adults may have. One key area I've heard is a potential source of latent smoke is the air conditioning system vents.

My mom quit 8 years ago now but it gave me asthma and anytime I get a whiff of it it triggers a attack if I'm around it long enough my nose bleeds

Thankyou for posting this video . I am currently in the process of repairing a cat n car from Copart. Imagine my dismay when it turned up like a filthy ashtray. I like you stripped and wet vacced complete interior including the head lining and yes it still stinks . This is my next move.

Make sure the car has been cleaned thoroughly. Clean under the seat as well. Try taking the cabin filter out and circulate the air inside while the machine is running to clean out the vents.

@@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Daddo you mean keep the car on with the AC recirculating while using the ozone machine?
