People don't realize that there is more than just the smoke smell in these items, there is also the tar from the smoke. You can't get that out just by airing and using Fabreeze. I get physically sick when I am around the cigarette smell. I would have to get rid of the smoke smelling objects. I found oxyclean works better than fabreeze. Good luck getting rid of it. My mother was a smoker, and after she passed away, my brothers and I went in and cleaned out her house. I brought her sewing stuff home with me. It has been 25 years and if I get really close to her sewing machine I can still smell the smoke, even after a mega cleansing. It permeates the wood. Some of her things I just had to pitch because I couldn't stand the smell.
