You can paint and recarpet but it's everywhere.

Once you quit completely you'll still open a book or grab a piece of clothing from a drawer and catch a whiff.

I still do after three years (two weeks from today will be three years).

Good luck, you can do it!

they are behind glass doors, I know it will still be there. I'm just trying to get rid of
the overwhelming aura of it. I can deal with the rest.....likely because I've burned out
a lot of my sense of smell after 35 years of chain smoking.

Thanks for the good wishes; I know I need them!

My parents died this spring and I had to de-smell the house as my mom was a smoker.

Fabreze and the Safeway generic equivalent of it worked over time.

That's what I would try.

and have not had but one cigarette since...and I have 10 cartons here that I bought before I quit smoking or rather

Here is a site that will give you TONS of info:

What i would suggest you is try using a room freshener whenever you smell cigarette in your house or try opening all your doors and windows daily in the morning for hours and later you may also try putting an Exhaust Fan in or reverse fan that may put out the whole smell out of the house.

The most important thing is that why are you addicted. Can you leave this? I would like to advise that there is no any best tips rather than leaving this bad habit. That is all.

I use Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator or Febreze Air Effects Mint & Refresh. Either one works splendidly.

The other types of Febreze have an unbelievably long-lasting strong aroma that never seems to dissipate. But the above two seem to lightly scent the air momentarily, and all smoking odors are gone gone gone... as well as cooking odors, pet odors, etc.
