Small, USB or 12V ozone generators are popular for vehicle interiors, RV cabins, closets and gym bags. They are cheap, easy to hide in a cup holder, and they target the same problem: odors that soak into fabric.
Because a car cabin is tiny, even a small unit can build up a lot of ozone. Run it with nobody inside, windows closed during the cycle and doors open for a good airing afterwards.

Park outside, remove people, pets and plants, start the unit, close the doors and leave. When the timer ends, open all doors and let the cabin air out until the sharp ozone smell is gone. Never drive with the unit running.
Heavy or repeated ozone can age rubber seals, dashboard plastics and some upholstery, so treat the car only as often as needed.
Check the power source (USB, 12V cigarette lighter or wall adapter), a stated output, a timer or auto shut-off and a safe, cool body. Tiny units with no stated output are usually just negative-ion gadgets, so read the title and photos carefully.
It is safe only if you follow the rules: empty vehicle, timer on, ventilate fully, never run while driving or while anyone is inside. If you can smell ozone, wait before getting in.
Follow the manual of your unit. Many treatments run for a short cycle, then the car is aired out. Start with the shortest time recommended and increase only if the odor remains.
It can help with smoke odor that has soaked into fabric, but you will usually get better results after you clean seats, mats and the headliner, and replace the cabin filter.
