Is is possible to completely remove cigarette smell from interior?

I never really think about a car being smoked in, I guess, because it's so rare anymore. I know smokers who won't smoke in even their own cars. I don't know that they're thinking about resale but maybe so. I always thought that when a car was advertised as a non-smokers car it had something to do with there being no tar and nicotine residue which can affect electrical contacts.

Cigarette smokers always get really defensive about their addiction. And they'll rationalize it to the end. Including denying that it has any affect on non-smokers, and implying that all the non-smokers are just wussies.

^^^ Looks like the shark is gasping for air in that picture. Probably a smoker who doesn't have good olfactory senses from all the pollutants he inhaled, poor guy. Maybe he's in the market for a stinky 993.

Well, cars that have been smoked in (grammar?) are much slower than cars that have a heavy cigarette odor. That's enough reason for me to choose a non-smoking car. I, of course, drive flat-out.
Seriously, I don't have the best sense of smell, but no way would I buy a car that had a strong cig smell. No way. Why would I? Buying a 993 is not a medical or life emergency, despite how good the experience makes you feel, where I have to have one in the garage in 30 days or less; it's a luxury where one can afford to spend some time finding the right one. Disclosure: I found my 993 nine years ago in about three weeks. It was a lucky, low maintenance and "right" purchase.

I made a comment on another thread about the correlation between lack of self-respect and obesity, which is just food addiction, and someone took offense to it. I imagine the person who got offended isn't underweight

What does that have to do with this thread? Has someone here defended their addiction or claimed it didn't affect non-smokers? Ok, I will. When I sneak a smoke in the backyard, which I've done about five times in the last two years, I was all alone. So it had no effect on non-smokers.

Personally, I don't care if other people smoke. I just don't wanna hafta smell it, pay for it or deal with it.

All addicts do. They can't come to terms with the other aspects either, like self-destructive behavior, lack of self-respect and the damage they've done to their bodies. It's a natural pathology of addiction, and also very sad.

Nah, huge difference between the two. Riding a motorcycle has many benefits, like the ones you pointed out.
If you smoke, there are very few benefits and many major downsides, but as someone once said...
