Anybody know if these will filter smoke from within the cabin, if the HVAC system is set on recirculate? Or even with a filter if it would be better to leave the system on outside air? (Yes, I smoke. Yes, I know it's bad for me. Still prefer my car not to smell!)

I used to smoke, and you NEVER smoke inside an inclosed car with it on recirculate. Never EVER EVER.
Always crack your drivers window about an inch, and turn the fan to half and direct it to the floor only and you will introduce positive pressure in the cabin which will have the smoke pushed and sucked out of the car.
Best to hold the smoke in your left hand by the cracked window and the second hand smoke will be removed as well. Ashing out the window is easy too seeing as long as the fan is on, the ashes won't get sucked back in.
Then you can throw your butt out. I did this for 10 years and my car never even smelled like I ever smoked in it.

You know what? I AGREE 100%. I hadn't even thought about having the windows being tight , 'cause I ALWAYS crack at least one front window one to two inches, whether it's raining, or 20° or 100° F outside. Got Weatherflectors for that reason for the rainy days, as well as for venting heat when parked in the summertime. I've even found that as long as it's not raining, I love using the sunroof at vent position, together with the windows being down a little. (Never had a sunroof before.)
I don't do the rest of the tips you mentioned, though I'm sure it would be better if I did. Turning the fan up and directing it to the floor would be an easy one.
So, with that info in mind, do you think adding on the cabin filter would be of any additional help, whether on outside air or recirculate, or not really? Thanks.

It is only used on fresh air. Which is what you should use most of the time when smoking or not smoking anyways.

LOL. The smokers handbook. I fallow this exact system. Works great and noone would ever know you smoke.
I smoke littlel in this car, but prior to this I had an Aurora that I smoked in constantly for 6 years. The day I sold it. The buyer assumed it was never smoked in.
