I got 2 hand me down cars from my parents who were smokers at the time. In both
cases I found that a vinegar/water solution works wonders for removing the
smoker smell. My '84 Ford Tempo was worse because it had cloth seats. With that
car I soaked the seats in the vinegar/water and sopped it out with a sponge. It
took 2 horrible days (I was in highschool and had the time) but after 3 days of
drying the car smelled okay. These days I'd do the same thing but suck it back
out with a wet/dry vac.

No brakes, car won't shut off with the key, doors don't lock, etc.
Barely runs at idle, we had to push it up on the trailer with him
goosing it to help out a bit. Might have boogered fuel or filters or
something, it has been sitting awhile. It was clicking up at the front
of the valve cover, not sure if that was timing chain or bad injector or
clog or what.
Very nice car, dark blue, good paint and body with a few little dings,
tan interior in fairly decent shape, good tires. He can get it sorted
fairly easily I bet, will have an excellent car for cheap money. He'll
need about a gallon of Febreze though.
