I actually quit smoking back in June, but for the 4 or 5 months I had the box, and smoked, I never did in the car.

I think it was because I knew I planned to quit this summer and didn't want the car to smell like it later. My last new car (the frontier I traded in on the xB) I did smoke in.

Would I smoke in it now if I were still smoking? Dunno, I hope not. But it only takes one good road trip to break that.

No. I smoke an occassional cigar while golfing or drinking. I won't let anyone smoke in my xB. Maybe when its 5 years old.

Since I don't have an xB, I didn't vote on the poll, but I thought I'd add my $.02 here. I have yet to smoke in my tC. I like the new car smell. I also like not having cigarette burns in my car. Someone always drops a lit cigarette, or hits the trim while trying to ash out the window. I also figure that it's easier to never smoke in the car, than to do it occasionally (for me at least). Every time I want to smoke in the car, I tell myself "I haven't done it yet, and I won't start now." Once you do it the first time "occasionally" might become more frequent.

Should say "It reeks of smoke, but as a smoker, I can't smell it..."

I can tell when someone has been in the elevator AFTER having a cig outside, there's no way your car doesn't smell like an ashtray...

If you must smoke however, You better put your butts in the ashtray! If you see peeps throwing them out in CA, call 1-800-TELL-CHP to report them!

I hate when smokers do that. I feel like yelling at them "The World is not your Ashtray!!!!!!!"

On a "lighter" note, I find that the ashtray makes an excellent change holder. I must have $20 in mine.

I agree. I can't stand it when I see someone throwing a cigarette butt out their window. It makes a mess and can start a fire.

Those that smoke don't realize how bad it smells. I know from experience. I smoked for 15 years. I couldn't believe the things I smelled when I quit. I can barely stand to be within 3 feet of someon who's recently smoked a cigarette.

Yeah, The only thing I smell is smoker's denial!! I can smell a smoking from the second the walk into the store I work at!

My father is in big denial! he has smoked for 30 years, and claims "My lungs are as heathy as a teenagers"

Yeah right!

before i quit (again) a few months ago, i was smoking in my xb. sometimes my interior smelled like smoke, other times it didnt. if i rolled up my windows and parked right after i smoked, then yea of course it smelled. but if i drove for a while afterward, with all the windows down (as i always used to) and THEN parked, it didnt smell.

Yeah if you keep it clean it won't smell. When I do smoke it's always going down the road with a window cracked. Never just sitting still so that smoke can get in it. Yeah some smoke may get in but that can be fixed with a vacuum cleaner and some febreeze. But how am i in denial? I do smoke, I wish I didn't, I wish I never started, I've tried to quit and may one day. But that's not denial. My box may smell like sometimes but that gets fixed. A lot of non-smokers ride in it and they never say it smells like smoke, they always say it smells great.
