I don't have much of an issue with ashes sticking to the side of my car, it could be because I just waxed it a month or so ago but I'm not sure. I just leave the window cracked at least 2 inches and flick out the front edge of the window, not the top. I found that when I tried to flick the ashes out the top it frequently blew them back in.
And by the way. Don't ever quit smoking until YOU want to do it. I'm not going to.
Happy smoking! :)

I hate those cupholder ashtrays, they smell like crap to me (yes I know I smoke and it smells bad, whatever...) but for some reason I can't stand using those ashtrays. I always make sure to keep my cigarette by the window opening so that my car doesn't get smoky and smell like that.

Yeah I have a bad habit of ashing out of the top every now and then. My 91 Mustang convertible's windows were designed in such a way that if you tried to ash out of the front of the crack, they always blew right back in your face. You had to ash out of the top of the crack in that car unless you liked getting burning ashes in your eyes while driving.
I've been smoking in my cars for years and just recently realized how ashy they get.
maybe the ashes sticking to the outside also has something to do with the humidity down here.

SN ...... you have to empty it! Also, the ventguards help manage wind to keep the ash from getting everywhere.
Another tip is to keep the butt near the sideview mirror. There should be a bit of suction there to pull the smoke and ash out the window.

I'll bet humidity plays a big part, we have always had very low humidity up here and I haven't had any major issues. Smell wise you can always do a box of baking soda too (like you do for the refridgerator)

You can smoke with the AC on as long as you don't have it on "recirculate." It won't suck the smoke in if it is just on regular AC.
sir_nasty I think I am actually thinking about quitting soon anyway. I smoke about a pack a day and I calculated that is roughly $1,149.75 per year (that is figuring a average spending $3.15/pack - about the average price in MS). But I just love that smokey goodness!! ooohhh just thinking about it right now at work makes me want one. I guess I'll throw in a dip of Copenhagen (yes I dip at work since I can't smoke - I caught my boss doing it so i do it now)

00: recirculate just means no outside air. if you have outside air on, about 80% is recirculated. Straight outside air is too much for the heat and AC to handle.
Spaz: Have you tried changing the cabin air filters?

I'll take your work for it there. You are the HVAC expert
