If you want to learn how to stop smoking cigarettes in a new car, I think I can help. Hi, my name is Bill. I'm an ex-smoker. I quit smoking about 15 years ago.
I remember what it was like the first time we bought a brand-new car. It was in the late 80s, and we got a brand new Plymouth. It was the first new car we ever owned. At that point, my wife and I had two children, and we needed to have one new vehicle that could get us around safely and dependably.
I remember what it was like as a smoker, and I didn't want to smoke in the new car. You probably know that one of the best things about having a new car, other than the fact that you have a new car, is that every time you open the door for probably that first year or so, you open the door and you get that smell of the new car. It just feels great and makes you feel good inside. They even make air fresheners that have a new car smell.
No one wants to open the car door in the morning - and we've all done this as smokers - and get a whiff of that terrible smell. You know that smell when you use your ashtray, and there are cigarette butts and ashes in there, and all you smell is that mess. It is literally like living in an ashtray. As a smoker, it bothered me a bit but not enough to not become a non-smoker.
Then there are the other concerns. For example, my wife was never a smoker. Or for my children, who were never smokers. It must have just been downright disgusting.
So when buying a new car, I would try to avoid smoking cigarettes inside it. This plan was workable as long as the trip was in that 20-minute to half-hour - nicotine comfort zone. Over that, if I smoked, especially if I were the passenger, I would try to hold the cigarette outside the window. I would blow the smoke outside too. I reasoned that it was better for my family and less smelly for the new car.
I'm sure in hindsight that the smoke blew back into my family. Likely the ashes blew back too. Probably the sparks, blown by the wind rushing by, landed on the car' interior as well.
I probably just looked like an idiot doing all this. Then once you smoke in your new car, that smell gets into the interior and is almost impossible to eliminate.
Used car ads will say that the car had been owned by a non-smoker, making it more desirable. I didn't realize how important this was, and years after I quit smoking, I did buy a couple of used cars as an ex-smoker, and let me tell you that they do not smell good, and even after you stop smoking, it can take years to clear out that smell.
It probably needs professional remediation to get that smell out of the carpet, the seats, and the headliner. It's not a pretty smell.
Likely that especially these days, as more people are ex or non-smokers than smokers, I'm sure that the smoke smell depreciates the car's value.
My suggestion would be that if you want to buy a new car soon, or these days with the price of used cars being tens of thousands of dollars, and thinking that you're paying for something for six or seven years or more, that would make me not smoke in it. Considering the large amounts of money to buy a car, you would want to take care of it. Now is a great time to think ahead and try to become an ex-smoker before you make that purchase.
If this sounds like something you might want to consider, I think I can help. About 15 years ago, when I quit smoking, I documented everything I did to get ready to stop smoking, what I did when I stopped cigarettes, and how I felt after I stopped smoking. Now that I'm nearing retirement, I decided to take all this information, put it together in a program, and make it available to others to help them become ex-smokers.
I think it's reasonably priced, as it will cost you less than the price of a carton of cigarettes in many areas of the country. Not in all locations, but certainly in many. I believe it will work for you too.
I know it worked for me, as literally. I bet my life on it!
That was almost 15 years ago, and I never looked back. Had I known that stopping smoking could be achieved easily and quickly, I would not have agonized over it.
I remember telling my family and friends that if i had known it was that easy to quit, I wouldn't have smoked for decades.
