Suggestions on how to get smoke smell out of dvds???
I recently bought several dvds off Half.com from the same seller and all were in the condition described for great prices. The problem is the owner must smoke like a train. As soon as I opened the package, you could tell it and have no idea how to remedy this.
I thought about switching the cases but the outer insert & even the dvd smell strongly of smoke. I was afraid to put them in my dvd case for fear they might spread their stench to my other dvds. Any suggestions?

switch the outer cases, and then let them sit in your non-smoking room with your collection for a few months. That's really the remedy that works. I've had this issue with a couple of online purchases, and the smell eventuallly went away.

Stick them in a ziplock bag or a sealed container, cases and all, and put in either a charcoal briquette or a small container of baking soda. It might take a few days but it should draw the smell out.
