Done many smoke damage houses

Vinegar neutralizes the smell. It will smell like vinegar for a while but eventually the vinegar smell will go away. Then you can clean as usual with carpet cleaner etc

Smoking is a nasty habit to have.

Paint, paint and more paint. kilz works but if the smoker has been there a long time it will take several coats.

I've helped paint 2 houses that have had heavy smokers living there.
3,4 and maybe 5 coats in my parents house to stop the smoke residue from bleeding thru. Ceilings are the worst.

The 2nd house everything ,. drapes, carpet, furniture had to be disposed of. then the painting started.

Kiiz is junk and more paint only re- wets the stain and odor bringing it back to the surface
