Having cleaned for people who were heavy smokers, I can tell you that it's a whole lot easier to get rid of cigarette smoke if you get rid of the cigarettes. Not to mention cheaper, with the price of tobacco going through the roof!

Use vinegar to clean all the glass, and be prepared to do some serious scrubbing- including changing the water several times.

Otherwise, you could just use Febreeze and set small bowls of vinegar to absorb the smell.

Febreze.
Also smokers candles.
Incense masks the smell nicely.
Consider buying a 'smokeless ashtray'. It works by filtering the cigarette smoke out of the air.
Most of the cigarette smoke in the house will come from unsmoked cigarettes that smolder away in the ash tray.

I'll tell you what~ I have smoked cigg's off and on for at least 35 years. When my health turned bad and all of a sudden~ Im breathing in air and its NOT going to my lungs to give me Oxygen~ ITS A HUGE FREAK OUT! When I was smoking weed~ it made me feel like i was not in control of myself and I felt very paranoid. It was like being awake in a living hell for me. I only smoked weed for less then 1 year. But there are times I still miss the peace and calmness of smoking a cigg. but I dont want to ever experience that loss of air in my lungs ever again. I never have cared an iota about the cancer from the ciggs~ its the loss of oxygen. I guess you'll have to read what I wrote, and delete my answers because I could NEVER ever prefer either any longer~ yrs ago, it would have been the cigg. though.

Ozonium at Wal-mart for about $4.75/ can. We bought a van that smelled like smoke and that took it right out and I have never had to spray it again. I also had to wash everything hard with soapy water to get rid of the nicotine, because it will make the smell linger.

wash everything that can be cleaned or washed or wiped. Spray all fabrics with Fabreeze. Ozoneizer I have heard is also excellent.
Charcoal briquettes placed on a cookie sheet left in the open will absorb odors.

Ozone is the way to go for a 110% non-recurring solution and unlike aerosol products is not harmful to the atmosphere!

Ideally rent an industrial ozone generator that is often similar in appearance to a floor standing fan heater and is sometimes used in hotels to get rid of smells particularly tobacco.

Better still worth every penny, I'd kill to keep my fresh smelling sterilised bug free clean home, you will once you have rented one likely want to own one! It will always keep your home smelling like a fresh mountain stream bacterially sterile and bug free! As a precaution during use don't forget to turn off the pumps on fish tank equipment or remove the tank from the room if possible since the fish need oxygen too!

It will kill all odours and also sterilise the room killing all insects and more than 95% of bacteria, including the notoriously virulent strains of super bug MRSA, much more so than disinfectant ever can hope to, and gets into anywhere that air can since it is a gas. It will penetrate everything in the room so open all cupboards, close windows and seal doors. These machines are often used to sterilise the air in surgically clean areas such as hospitals!

It will in a sealed environment or room replace the air by recycling the Oxygen O2 and adding an extra electron turning it into ozone O3! Sustained exposure to ozone is harmful to animals including humans (ask any professional welder!) so these units have a timer.

If you have air conditioning and ventilation ductwork it is the most reliable and easiest way to sterilise the ducting and mechanisms. Although ozone is poisonous to humans it is nevertheless safe because it quickly loses the extra electron and decays back into 100% oxygen leaving no residual waste product whatsoever :) This is why the units have a timer to switch them on and off so that the oxygen has returned by the time you do and windows can be opened if you are in a hurry to use the room.

You will find that after treatment the room will have a very long-lasting fresh smell often many weeks, you certainly will never need another aerosol when you own one of these!

The air is now very fresh smelling like cool mountain air and you should take the opportunity to use it in all of your rooms and in the car too! If practical use it to sterilise and freshen the freezer, refrigerator and anywhere that has mildew and dampness, it will kill all mildew and fungal spores and also is the very best treatment for outbreaks of fleas including hidden and dormant flea larvae that can live for around seven years waiting for a host!

I include links below with useful technical articles and suppliers but you will need to Google for “Ozone Air Disinfectant” or Sterilisation in your area.

A powerfully oxidizing allotropic form of the element oxygen. The ozone molecule contains three atoms (O3). Ozone gas is decidedly blue, and both liquid and solid ozone are an opaque blue-black colour, similar to that of ink. See also Oxygen.

Ozone has a characteristic; pungent odour familiar to most persons because ozone is formed when electrical apparatus produces sparks in air. Ozone is irritating to mucous membranes and toxic to human beings and lower animals.

Ozone is a more powerful oxidizing agent than oxygen, and oxidation with ozone takes place with evolution of more heat and usually starts at a lower temperature than when oxygen is used. In the presence of water, ozone is a powerful bleaching agent, acting more rapidly than hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, or sulphur dioxide

Ozone is also utilized in the treatment of drinking-water supplies. Odour- and taste-producing hydrocarbons are effectively eliminated by ozone oxidation. Iron and manganese compounds, which discolour water, are diminished by ozone treatment. Compared to chlorine, bacterial and viral disinfections with ozone is up to 5000 times more rapid.

Hope this helped as this is without doubt if you have the readies, the best way to go do not however waste your time with tiny battery operated mountain stream air ioniser room fresheners, which generate ozone in smaller quantities than vacuuming your house will! All motor driven electrical goods with brushes and commutators generate ozone and those battery air fresheners are a waste of money just turn on the vacuum cleaner! lol

get rid of the cigarettes and the smoker.

That's your only chance. It takes 36 hours (according to American Lung Assoc.) for the effects of 1 cigarrette to go away.

GOD bless us always.
