Does anybody smell smoke?

Greetings everyone,
I just received a used Audioquest Sub 3 cable that was purchased on Ebay. When I opened the package I discovered that the cable has a very strong odor of cigarette smoke.

Any advice on how to get rid of or lessen the odor without hurting the cable? If possible, I would like to solve the problem without returning the item.

Thanks in advance.

Stick it in a box of Kitty Litter for a week and see if that helps.

Wipe it down with a soft cloth dampened with water, peroxide or a mild baking soda solution (as suggested above). You could also use pure isopropyl alcohol, either straight or diluted with water.

Rub it down with cat urine. That will definitely get rid of the smoke smell. Hope this helps.

Try under arm spray deodorant just might do the trick?
