Anybody use or comment on air cleaners for the inside of vehicles? I am looking at the purchase but they seem expensive to take a chance on one. Any help would be great.

Don't know if you have one near you but, Murray's Auto and probably Auto Zone carry a smell neutralizer that works great.
I can't say enough good about it. Murray's only carries one brand so you should be able to ask and get it easily.
It does'nt mask like a flavored product. It deoderizes it completely. Couple squirts and you are good to go.

Doc as usual hit the nail on the head. I use Febreze and I leave the windows wide open on a nice day, both while smoking and later when parked to air things out.
One tip, do not use the heater or AC on a "circulate" setting as the smoke will get in the vents and be evident the next time you turn it on. By "evident" I mean "stinks like an ashtray." Always use a "fresh air/vent" setting."
Also Febreze ALL cloth surfaces in the vehicle including carpets, mats, seats, backs of seats and most important if it is cloth, the headliner!
Leather of course is less to deal with than fabric..
Crack the window and clean frequently.
Febreze is good stuff.
Be careful with the ozone products. Ozone will clean the smoke stink outta anything at the right dose. It will also erode the lining of your lungs and even ruin rubber if the exposure is intense enough.
A pet store locally has one of the bigger ozone blasters running and the place smells like a clean indoor pool instead of the urine stained barn that it is. But breathe deep in there for a few minutes and you feel your lungs laboring.
Smoke it.

I was using Febreze and liked it and it does a great job but, it did leave a smell. A nice smell but, I just got tired of it and was looking for something else.
The stuff at the auto care place leaves no smell at all. I mean nothing. Just wipes out everthing.
Might want to try it as a change up to Fabreze once and awhile.
