When I was 16, though it was parked, and mine, when I was 'bout 12.
NOBODY SMOKES IN MY VEHICLES!
I didn't get my first vehicle of my own until I was 19 and it was actually a truck. I got a GMC S15 that I drove throughout my college years. Also no one smokes in my vehicles and they all wear seatbelts, not that I have to tell them.
The first car that was actually mine? When I was 22, in 2006. And hell no, I would never let anybody smoke in it, convertible or not.
I was 15, but the car had to sit in the driveway most of the time, because there was always something broken. No one smokes in my car now. I wouldn't have cared in the first 3 cars I owned, because I smoked back then and also because 2 of the 3 already smelled bad when I bought them.
16, and it was a 1988 Dodge Ram 50 that my dad had driven since new. It had been parked for a few months, since he had purchased the legendary 1993 Accord EX wagon in anticipation of me getting my driver's license.
No one smokes in my cars, though I have owned 2 that had been smoked in previously. One of them was our 2005 Odyssey. It took about a year for the smell to completely go away, though on really hot days, it is possible to catch a hint of it when stepping into a 150°F car. Which is why Honda hath given us the remote window roll-down feature!

I only let people huff freon in my cars.

+Ryan Kiefer I'm a Fiero owner, so I'm not able to be online for more than four minutes at a time between fires.
Glad that smoke smell eventually left the Honda. You almost need an exorcist to get that resin out.
+Leighton Mann , My sometimes-DD is a 1980 Rabbit with low miles, so that is about how much drive time i get between mechanical failures. I'll be commuting by bus tomorrow, as I got less than halfway through my tie rod and ball joint replacement tonight.
