    Cut onion in half and leave in car (resting in open clingfilm or whatever) It absorbs the smoke and leaves the car smelling... well... temporarily of onion, but then sweet as ever.

    I find if I carry a smoker, the smell from their clothes lingers for ages in the car, but this sorts the problem.

    Whether it would work in a house, and where the smoking actually took place in the house, and how many onions you'd need, I have no idea!

    It's a trick I use, works if you cut an onion in half and leave it lying around during a house party as well.

    Apologies Artful Lodger! Only had 1 cup of tea at time of writing so not fully functioning!! Very polite letter now delivered :-) & yes, fingers crossed she leaves when her new home is ready!

    Thanks to everyone who replied. I hadn't heard about using onions to get rid of ciggy smoke but will definitely give it a try. :)

    What a great tip, G.M.

    My family smoke, and even though they don't do so when we visit with our babies, we still leave the house smelling.
