We bought an ex-smokers house too, it had also been sat empty for a while, we took out the carpets and everything soft and binned it and have set about cleaning every surface, stripping all the wallpaper (of course, every wall had 3 layers) and otherwise trying to eradicate the stench. The ceilings were grim AF, we ended up skimming them all after cleaning them to make sure there was no leak through. We couldn’t get the UPVC front door clean at all, but were planning to replace it anyway, and there were no radiators installed to clean. We still have one built in cupboard that smells of fags. 2/10, would not do again.
