All the answers you have received are wrong. White oil base paint yellows with time, smoker or not. Try a top of the line interior trim paint and have them add a non-yellowing additive to it. It wont solve the problem forever but it will extend the life of the job. Oil base paint just yellows with time, its the nature of the beast.

How old was the paint you used? Was it well mixed? Is it in a very dark place? Or maybe a reaction to the type of lighting?
Consider using a better quality paint or maybe a latex based trim paint (clean ups easier too). It use to be you always wanted oil based for your trim but the newer latex based pants can do just as well.

Most likely your trim has been painted with lacquer based paint. Lacquer paint has the problem of yellowing after several years. It's for this reason that I have my painters paint the interior trim with oil based paint. It's harder to work with but you get a better looking and longer lasting paint job.
Good Luck!!!

All oil based paints will change color some, whites go yellowish.

It may not have been mixed properly.
It may have needed another coat.
