How to get cigarette smell out of my ITR?

The previous owner smoked heavily in the ITR. Now that I have purchased the car, I want to know how to get rid of that cigarette smoke smell. Any advice for an ITR noob? Will Febreeze work and will discolor the precious ITR seats? Or would my best option be to take the car in for a complete auto detailing and portering service? Thanks for any advice.

Fabreeze works well and has not discolored my interior. But the best way, Shampoo everything and make sure you clean the glass and headliner.

If you have the time and a wetdry vacuum... take the seats out and hose them down, lightly scrub with Tide soap, rinse and dry.
For the carpet, leave it in the car and do the same, I have done this twice and they keep looking good. Actually it's time again for me to clean the interior

Shampoo/Vacuum, febreeze, and then put a box of baking soda in it, I unfortunately forgot a package of chicken breasts in my hatch, luckily it was in my GSR.

But I did the above mentioned and it seemed to work.
