Narrative:

On climb out from rsw, I noticed a smell similar to a cigarette smell. I made the comment to the captain concerning it. Soon (within 30 seconds) I got a call from the aft flight attendant asking if we smelled the smoke also. She said she had smoke in the cabin, but no discernable source. I contacted departure control, declared an emergency and got vectors to the field for a landing on runway 6. The smoke smell was diminishing and was almost gone by the time we landed (within 5-7 mins). We stopped just off the runway and were cleared by the emergency equipment to continue to the gate to deplane our passenger. No fire source was found. No injuries were reported.
