Gearing up for the holiday season and heading out on that long drive? Jonnybaba has you covered with the ultimate car smoking kit for when you want to hit the open road and experience the freedom of the wind in your hair. But before this, we need to answer an important question:
CAN SMOKING IN A CAR DAMAGE IT?
If bad smoking practices are implemented, then yes. While you might be thinking ashing out of your window will fix all your issues, in reality, a lot of the ash flies back into your car, leaving residue on your dashboard, seats and car interiors. Cars are notorious for tricky to clean spots and small, intricate devices that can only be power washed. If these spots get ash residue, it can stay for months or even years, causing health issues as well.
Furthermore, fabrics like leather and vinyl drape the interiors of cars and these are rarely removed and deep cleaned. These surfaces trap dust and ash easier as well. But that’s just the half of it. Irresponsible stubbing can also lead to cigarette holes in your leather covers and make them look shabby and unkempt.
But another major factor is that the odor of tobacco stays if not dealt with instantly. This can be a huge deterrent if you’re looking to resell the car at some point. In the more immediate future, though, it can be off putting for anyone taking a ride in your car.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAVE TO SMOKE IN YOUR CAR?
For some of us, our car is the only place we can smoke. So what can you do to ensure you’re smoking in the safest way possible?
-
Protect your Plastics: Ensure any plastics on your dashboard are well protected. You can use a turtle wax protectant for this.
-
Routine Cleanliness: Empty your ashtray and use an odor eliminator weekly. Vacuum your carpets monthly and clean them with detergent every couple months. Use a good leather cleaner for the leather interiors and make sure to wipe the dashboard next to your window, because this is where most ash resides.
-
Ventilation: Always smoke with the window wound down by half an inch to keep the smoke flowing outside, preferably on the driver’s side. You can also turn on the blower so no ash settles in the AC vents. Some people put the vents to the floor setting as well.
-
Positioning: Lean your body slightly towards the open window. This will help direct the smoke outside. When you exhale, do so toward the open window.
