I bought an old farm house in Massachusetts in 1992 and the previous owner was a heavy smoker. The downstairs bathroom was so yellow it wasn't funny. I found the the attic some of the original wall paper in rolls. The color was visiably different.
Washed everything with vingar solution. Removed all wall paper. hardwood floors refinished. Kilz on everything. New Wall paper in a lot of places. New paint everywhere else (some rooms were green!). No smell afterwards.
I wonder if I would have even considered a place like that today. In the late 80's and early 90's, somking still took place in the offices, etc. When I divorced in the late 90's, I had to strip when I got home from the clubs, because of the smoke smell. I never remembered that in the college.
