Getting rid of the smoke smell is very easy. Get some Bounce Fabric Softner sheets at the local grocery store. Place a few sheets in a box and place the equipment in the box. Close up the box and let it sit for a couple of days. You will be amazed to see how the fabric softner sheets will be full of the nicotine stains. After a few days use the fabric softner smell will be gone too. Works great for a smoke smelling car
