Just a comment to this Jeaninmaine, even with the door shut I could still smell smoke on things my mom made. My dad smoked and wasn't allowed in her spare room where she had her hobbies. But it still smelled so I washed everything she sent. Smoke will permeate even those dang doors and walls. Not sure why that nicotine is so powerful!!
