Removing smoke odor
thebrownshow:
You could always start smoking. When I was a smoker, smoke odor never bothered me ;)

Spray the inside with Lysol, that seems to work for me. You will have to do this more than once to get rid of it. Also re-painting the outside will have to be done. Ive never tried to get rid of the smoke from the outside, always repainted.

Mythbusters rule! :notworthy:
I saw that episode and the Vodka made a difference on clothing, not sure what it would do on a coin door.

Simple Green works really well. Sadly, I learned this after a house fire.

I smoked for 10 years, and yes, when you are a smoker you never notice the smell. I like to think I was relatively clean in my smoking habits because I never smoked inside my home, but I'm guessing this coin door once lived in a bar where smoking was alot more frequent.
I could stand it myself, but it pretty much smells like an ashtray and my never-smoked-a-day-in-her-life wife isn't going to be too crazy about it.
