How to remove the smell of smoke (cigarettes) from the interior?

I have a sedan and one of the passengers sat in the back and smoked. i left all the windows open while she was smoking so none of it would stay in, but it still smells 2 days later. she only smoked for a total of 10 minutes too!

i'm on the way to walmart to buy baking soda and febreze haha but in the mean time are there other methods to clear that smell?

I've smoked in my car before and Einszett Klima-Cleaner works great to disinfect and clean the ventilation system. I've also used the Clean Air Genie Fogging Freshner with great results.

Hire a detailer that has an ozone generator. It will kill the carbon molecules that are making the smoke smell in your car. They work great and if you just hire someone to do it you wont have to buy one yourself.

I have never personally tried it but put coffee beans inside overnight then vacuum them out the next day. The beans should attract the smell of the smoke. That is if you like the smell of coffee beans.
