Will a primer be enough, or are other products needed?

You need to use a special type of primer, called stain sealers. One popular brand is called "Kilz". If you don't use that, the stain will bleed into your finish paint in minutes. If the stain accumulation is heavy you may possibly need two coats of sealer. Sealers can be tinted to approximate colors, but it's usually not recommended.

It depends on how thick the nicotine is. You may need to wash the walls thoroughly before applying a primer.

There is a primer that you can paint over it. Ask in the paint store. I worked at a bar and they painted the walls and needed that primer. The paint store will tell you.

You dont have to do any just a few thick coats of paint but a bucket of hot soapy water and a rag would do fine just be sure to let it dry before you paint.

Nicotine is VERY sticky and needs to be washed with bleach.
