i'm a smoker (bah) & i smoke outside - works for me :-)

I've tried everything I know and am looking for more/better
> solutions.

failing moving the smoking outdoors or doing more general airing, i have
heard that leaving shallow trays of vinegar in the room will absorb the
smell. i tried it once years ago (cannot remember why - i had had a roomful
of partying smokers?) but couldn't decide if it had made any difference or
not, because the window was open overnight anyway :-)

i suspect though that if the furniture/carpet/curtains are all full of the
smell (not just the air) it probably wouldn't make any noticable difference.
however, if you try it and it works, let me know!! (my fil's going to drop
off the twig sooner or later, & the house will be frankly unsalable if we
can't do anything about the horrible smell when the time comes!!) dry
baking soda on fabrics absorbs smells, so perhaps you need to try both at
once or something. (yes, you vacuum up the baking soda off the fabrics the
next day ;-)
