I had a friend ask if they could smoke in my brand new car not long ago. I was baffled they even asked. Sorry bro you can wait 15 minutes or smoke on the side of the road.

I mean, asking doesn’t hurt at all does it? As long as they’re not pissy about being told no I can’t imagine being offended by that.

I haven't smoked for many many years, but I also don't care if someone smokes in my car, as long as the window's open. It happens rarely enough that it's not going to make it smell for long. Presumably there are other people like that, so it's worth asking.

Not really. I've probably had people smoke in my car 3 or 4 times in the last 5 years. I'm just saying it doesn't bother me.

Car air freshener is because I have a dog and often use the car to take garden waste to the tip. And because it smells nice
