+1 You are absolutely right, everything else just mask. My olfactory is hypersensitive and am allergic to cigarette smoke and cats. The 2nd hand smoke odor from a smoker's lungs is especially bothersome whereas the smoke will almost always cause a case of respiratory distress leading to infection. I have an Ozone generator and will give that a try for the (not smoke) odor that was in the car from the previous owner.

Would ozone generator help?
Not so sure it will penetrate the deep haze. Would clean along with the Ozone Generator. However...

I used the MA10K-PRO Ozone generator in my Ford Edge. 2 x 30 minute cycles. Once with the engine off and then once with the a/c running in recirculate mode. I also used it in my double car garage, 2 x 120 minute cycles with a 2 hour open door air exchange in between the cycles. In my opinion it seemed to remove the smoke odours (Canadian spelling folks). To be satisfied I then had a couple of neighbours (Canadian spelling again) who are non-smokers give me their honest opinions. Sure enough they agreed that the smoke odour is truly eliminated. I highly recommend this unit.
