Tobacco odor can be very difficult to remove. There are ozone
generators that work well, but it is bet to run these units while the
house is vacant. Remove/replace carpeting, carpet padding and prime
(Kiltz)/paint all walls and ceilings.

There are companies which specialize in cleaning up smoke damaged houses
other unusual horrors. The OP's fire department would certainly have
suggestions. If the job seems enormous, it might be worth hiring one of
these firms. Some of them work miracles.
