Sugar soap will be used, but its pretty bad so I expect it to need more.


Pretty well all everything in tobacco smoke is water soluble, so a good
wash should get rid of most of it from hard surfaces.


Can't wash it off your fingers. ISTR that was the punchline for a
government anti-smoking advert


One of the many banned by the ASA?
