getting one of my friends to housesit and hes like Aw man dude don't worry just enjoy your vacation and the moment I close the door to get in my taxi he tweets "i love smoking cigarettes indoors"
For everyone stating about ruining re-sale value/having your place smell and being noseblind:
Smoke in a well ventilated room, near a window if convenient.
Empty ashtrays everyday (or at least every couple) and wash ashtrays at least once a week in soapy hot water.
Air out every room for at least 15 minutes each day, I tend to leave my hallway and bedroom window open all the time except in winter where I do open them for about 15 minutes before closing again, but during summer I just have every window open. This isn't just for cigarette smell, this is for general maintenance as well, prevents damp and improves air circulation.
Clean glass surfaces once a week (windows, mirrors) and any electrical appliance screens too.
1 part white vinegar to 1 part water, spray all surfaces, especially wooden or other porous material unless you know vinegar will damage it (shouldn't as it's so diluted, but google to be sure). If you're walls are painted you can spray and wipe them down with the same solution, it should not affect the paint at all but google your paint brand and see what is advised not to use on it. Wallpaper I would just replace if it's absorbent but if it has a sheen/"laminate" surface then spray and wipe. This includes doors and skirting boards.
Soft furnishing, sprinkle with baking soda, leave to sit for 20-30 minutes, hoover. Do this at least twice, try a day apart.
You can buy activated charcoal in bamboo bags for air purification, cheaper than buying an air purifier but if you can get one, certainly helps.
Wash curtains, smaller rugs and soft blinds in a washing machine. Larger carpets may require hiring a carpet shampooer. If you can't remove the blinds or curtains, fabric refreshers like febreze will help but not entirely erase. Any prodcucts aimed at reducing pet smells are often better.
Buy plants, plants are excellent for removing odours by purifying the air.
I probably do this two or three times a year for the "larger" tasks (the walls mainly) and the smaller tasks at least once a month because I do smoke indoors a lot. I try to smoke outside when I'm going out but other than walking my dogs I don't tend to go outside, and I like to smoke when going through some of my work tasks because I'm remote.
It's a lot of work but if you prefer to smoke indoors and not have that smell, or you just quit and want to remove the smell, these tips will help. Nothing's perfect but it's always worked for me.
This being said, don't smoke indoors if it's not your place, that is just plain rude.
He did the opposite of all of this and left me for dead
