I have used vinegar before and it worked good temporarily. Then you follow up with some of this stuff after every drive. Spray the headliner, carpet, under the passenger dash with AC running. Once you have done all of this leave the car sealed up till the next time you drive. After doing this for a few weeks you will not notice the smell. Also, make sure to change the cabin filter too.
a big nod to this stuff from me too

I have a very sensitive nose and can ALWAYS smell smoke no matter how well anyone has treated the interior. Short of replacing the whole interior, I don't see how the smell can fully be removed from EVERY surface.

I've used a spray called Smoke Screen which breaks down the smell. I was trying to find a link for you guys but a google search turned up nothing. Great product though. Probably similar to that Ozium.

i actually did try a few things w/ my friend's car:
- vacuumed/washed all rugs - smell remained
- vinegar - car *still* smells like vinegar, 1.5 weeks later, DID NOT REMOVE SMELL, not recommended at all
- ozium - despite the vinegar smell remaining, i think the ozium is working
