also from my past experience smoke smell in almost impossible to get out as it has traveled through the hvac and has saturated in the carpets and headliner. ( you can mask it with a stronger odor but will still get the burn in your eyes) better get used to the smell it will not go away unless you gut the interior/ dash and replace with new. If a vehicle has been smoked in it is a immediate deal killer for me as i have attempted and failed to get it out in past vehicles

I've used a open container of fresh ground Coffee. I think it worked after a week or two.

Trade it in on a Raptor that hasn't been smoke in.

I'm very sensitive to cigarette (or most other types) smoke. Once it gets in porous materials it never comes completely out in my experience.
Deodorizers do not work and just add their own smell over the stink.

I hope you find a way to remediate the smell easily and cheaply but I am very dubious.

Get an ozone machine, gone in 24hrs.

Leave an ozone 03 generator overnight switched on in the truck.

Yup, ozone machine. Cheap to buy online. Leave it going for a while with the AC running so it get into the vents/ducts. House flippers do this.

Or a simple can of Ozium.
