Removing Smoke Smell?

I recently obtained an upgraded video card to put into my aging P4P800SE
mobo. The card is great but problem is that the card came from a computer
that must have been used by a smoker. It is a PNY Nvidia 6800 GT, so it has
its own fan and thus it is "spreading" the smell around. Is there anything
that can be done to safely wipe down the card?

I was wondering about the old trick I learned as Red Cross volunteer where
you put a wide plate filled an inch or so with white vinegar in a room with
a moderate smoke smell and it seems to get rid of the smell. I was thinking
about putting the card in a sealed container that also contains a cup half
filled with the white vinegar. Would the fumes be too corrosive?

Thanks in advance!

might try a spray can of electrical cleaner
