Ventilation is Key
Ventilation is extremely important when
ridding the smoke smell from a home or even from a confined space in
your house. Opening windows and vents helps to refresh the air while
giving the smoke that has been let off an outlet. Getting a
cross-breeze within the home is also essential when you have smoked
throughout the space and have a smoke smell in more than just one
room in the house itself.
Wash Walls and Carpets Thoroughly
Washing walls with a light cleaner and
using water is another way to rid smoke buildup and smells from areas
in the home that have been smoked in for years or even decades. If it
is not possible to rid the smoke buildup from walls with a classic
and traditional washing method, it may be time to think about
repainting the surface altogether once it has been scrubbed down.
Use Vacuum Carpet Cleaner
Any time you are cleaning the smoke
from a home it is also imperative to vacuum all carpeted areas
thoroughly. Over time, smoke buildup often lands in carpets along
with ashes and remnants from cigarettes themselves. Using a vacuum
carpet cleaner after you have used a traditional vacuum is another
way to eliminator odors while freshening up the carpet throughout
your home without having to rip it up and replace it entirely.
Put Vinegar to Use
Place exposed bowls of pure vinegar
around the home and in areas where there is a dense smoke scent.
Using bowls of vinegar helps to attract and absorb the smell of
smoke, ridding it from your walls, furniture and airflow while
eliminating the odor altogether.
Wash Windows
Wash all of the windows in your home
that have been exposed to cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke is let off
from the heat which allows the smoke to flow throughout the home
freely. Washing all windows is a way to quickly eliminate an
additional source of the smoke odor in a home or in a specific room
in the house. This is also true of drapes and curtains. If vinegar
and washing doesn’t do the trick, you may need to consult a window
treatment professional to help.
Replace and Update Filters
Replace all heating and air filters in
your home if you have had smoke buildup for months, years or even
decades. Adding new air filters helps to eliminate trapped smoke
toxins and odors that have built up within the filters themselves.
Regardless of whether you are no longer
a smoker or simply want your home to smell fresh and welcoming to
visitors, taking the time to get the smoke smell out of your house is
a must. With just a few cleaning tips and tactics it is possible to
have your home smelling fresh and without a scent of smoke when done
properly.

That's the issue with traditional cigarette smoking. The smell is unbearable. Devices like the Juul really changed the game.
