smoke out of seats

is there a good way to do this?
Im looking at some sol seats on ebay right now...ive asked the seller like 3 times if theyre from a smoker's car and they just ignore me...leading me to believe that they are indeed from one.
so, if it works out and I buy these (very nice and great shape) and it turns out that they smell...can I get the smoke odor out without removing the fabric?
No, I dont want to take them to get detailed because Im poor at the moment (especially after I buy the seats) and febreze doesnt work for crap.

Any suggestions?

the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer

Recently, my grandmother's car was detailed, and she's a heavy smoker. The car came back and the smoke smell was GONE. There has to be a good way to do it. Try asking over at the autopia detailing forums, they know their stuff.
