Smoke smell? How do you get the smell of cigarette smell out of a car interior. We are non-smokers who just bought a car for our son that my wife drives occasionally. It smells a little to me, but she hates it. The car has been wiped down multiple times, but there has been little improvement. I know it will get better with time, but what's the quick way to get rid of interior smell.
Couple of options:
Coffee grounds: Open a container (or two) of coffee and leave for at least a day or two, it helps to absorb the odor.
Vanilla extract: Take an old rag and pour vanilla extract on it and throw it under the front seat.
And if all else fails, there is always febreeze.

^X2 Some other things to help, You could always shampoo/deep clean the stuff too. It will freshen up the probably old carpet anyways and you could always pull it all out and put new in!

^ My thoughts also about the cleaning the interior. I just did mine from where I worked a construction job and had to drive my car back and forth and it made a world of difference.

You can always buy an air ionizer ... I'm a smoker but if I'm going on a date, I leave that sucker in overnight and the car has no smell by the next morning. Although it will also neutralize any car cologne you use too!
This is what I have.
