The most cost effective is an ozone bomb. Sounds rather drastic, but it's generally safe. Best method is an ozone generator (what most factory certified pre-owned cars have done to them), but the cost is a bit high.

donno what an ozone bomb is, but it sounds good. febreeze will work, but I bet you buy 5 bottles of it and spray it for the next 6 months before its gone.

Yuck, smoking in a car is horrible. Its gets into the seats and fabrics. I would suggest you have your seats, floors mats, carpets and all other absorbing facrics steamed by an auto detailer. This is very affective. A detailer can also condition all of your fabrics. Do you have the cloth or leather seats?

Oh gawsh, dood, you seriously don't need to go throught that much trouble. Drive with the windows down (if possible) and just spray or put an air freshener in the car. It will eventually go away, speaking from experience btw.
