Got a video card off fleabay, but it's come from a heavy smoker. Sticky
with nicotine and stinks. I know if I put it in the PC the air flowing
through the case propelled by the fans will stink out the room.

How can I best clean it? Have mailed the seller to let him know I'm not
happy, he's offered a full refund including return postage, but the card
is a decent one and I'd like to keep it if it can be de-stinked.

Isopropyl Alcohol with an otherwise unused bristle paint brush?

I keep such a brush for dusting anyway.
