Lemon juiceRub a little lemon juice throughout your hair and scalp. Although washing your hair is the most effective way to get cigarette odor out, you may not have the time to get your hair wet. With this simple solution, the acids in the lemon juice help combat the strong odor of the cigarette smoke. Lemon juice is also helpful in eliminating the cigarette odor from your hands as well.

Febreeze and other herbal sprays will work.Another way to hide the smell is by spraying your hair with a scent. Stay away from perfumes because the chemicals will actually dry out your hair. Instead use any of the Herbal Essence or Febreze scented spray products. There are an array of sprays available. Experiment and see which ones work best. Stay away from alcohol-based products.
