How to minimize cigarette smoke smell from iPhone charger?

I recently purchased a used iPhone and I didn't notice until I got home that the charger and charging cord smell like cigarette smoke. If i covered the open parts with tape and cover it with baking soda for a while will that help take out the smell? Or are there any better ideas to help with the smell?

Wipe the charger down with a cleansing wipe. If you don't have that, just get a thick papertowel and spray the papertowel with cleanser. Wring the paper towel out and wipe the charger down.

Wipe down with white vinegar or if you Charcoal briquettes leave in a bag overnight.
