Grass route

In a previous article you mentioned a product that would remove the odour of cigarettes from the interior of a car. Could you please remind me of the name of this product, as we are being gassed by the smell when travelling in our daughter’s car.

The latest DIY reader suggestion is a cardboard box full of fresh long
grass or hay left for a couple of weeks. Apparently that absorbs the
odour.
