    Short of pulling all the upohlestry out, is there any way to get the smell of old cigarettes out of a truck?
    Lucky me, I get to move my crap to yet another loaner truck! To make matters worse, I dont smoke but the previous driver did. It's only been a few minutes and already my allergies are fired up and I just know the smell has permeated my clothes and everything I own. THIS SUCKS! Any suggestions?

    Yes there is. Start smoking yourself! That's what I did & I don't smell the cigarette stink anymore!

    Wipe the interior down real good. Then place a few "Bounty" dryer sheets throughout the cab and sleeper to help mask the smell.

    Repeat after about 2 weeks.

    The dryer sheets will hold the smell down long enough for the upholstery to absorb the scent. Then you shouldn't have any more issues.

    Be sure and toss the mattress.

    Renuzit Odor Eater seems to work pretty well. Similar to Fabreeze, but marketed for pet odors.

    There was quite a long thread on this subject a few months ago, if I recall correctly. There were a bunch of tips on there, but I doubt that much of anything worked. You might try a thread search.
