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.

Baking soda is amazing.
