Baking soda and charcoal are pretty good at absorbing odour. Also vanilla fridge cleaner and vinegar. The former two just need to sit inside it in a little dish or jar lid, the latter just apply with a cloth. Tobacco smell has a habit of sticking around though. Ever try and get it out of a car? Lingers for years or forever if you don't give it a lot of air. You might even be better off rubbing down the cabinet and re-varnishing.
