The good news is that compared to some other odors, this is relatively easy to remove. Depending on the nature of the surface, if it is hard such as plastic, glass or metal you can use a spray cleaner such as Fantastic, Lysol or any other spray cleaner. If it is fabric, then a fabric cleaner would be best.

After cleaning and the surface is totally dry, put your nose to it to see if the odor remains. If it does, try again with a different cleaner.

And don't forget the ash tray. Remove it and give it a good soak and scrubbing.
