Ok from a fellow non smoker let me tell you that sunning it will NOT get rid of the smell, fabric softner sheets make it smell like floral smoke. Soak them in the sink with some woolite it will come out just fine do not toss in the dryer let them air dry you will be fine just stuck ironing. Upside the smell is GONE and also they dont fray. I would soak, drain, soak again .. just my two bits. I live with a smoker just can not STAND that smell. My coats would get the scent when I visit my mom for one day. Anything in the suitcase had to be air hung out if only for one day so imagine if it was in the house for longer. Wash them you will be happier.
