Any tips, hints or products someone could recommend to remove the smell of
cigarette smoke from the home of ex-heavy smokers?

Clean or replace drapes. Steam clean carpets. Spread plenty of baking soda
on carpets and let sit for a day or two to absorb smell. Gently wash walls.
Gently wash ceiling or paint. Let the room air out for a few days.

We washed the drapes, walls, and linens in a heavy smoker's bedroom. We
also spread a bunch of baking soda on the carpet and let it sit for a couple
days before vacuuming. After airing out the room for a few days, there was
no hint of smoke smell.

The biggest culprits were the drapes, which reeked, the carpet, which
smelled funky, and the linens, which just smelled smokey.
