How to Rid of Smoke Smell

Anyone bought a vehicle that was owned by a chian smoker, but you are not?
I recently bought a '99 Blazer with the "leather" interior, and it REEKS of smoke. Well, it was awful at first anyway. The smell is still there and I am hoping to get some advice on getting rid of it.

I've driven plenty with the windows down.

I used an entire spray bottle of neutralizer on all fabric, and used orange cleaner on all the "leather" and plastic.

Now it just smells like "fresh linen", orange, and smoke!

i used about 2 bottles of febreeze on my interior (leather) and it seemed to do the job. i did the carpet, seats, and headliner.
