I don't know if it will work, but using charcoal briquettes in a dish to be confined in a small space, like a plastic container, and change the charcoal everyday for a week, might work.
I have used it in a refrigerator that has gone stale and it works.
Something in the charcoal filters the smell out.
Let me know if you try it and if it works.

Boy, I would never have posted about this if I'd know it would stir up so much controversy. The only thing I have against smokers other than the smell, is the health issue. My mom died from emphysema at 63. She began smoking at 12 and literally tried everything to quit and could not. On the other hand, my MIL smoked til she was 79, quit then died at 92 of unrelated issues. I have managed to get most of the odor out, relying on good old sunshine. We are at our place in KY now and when the sun came out yesterday, I sprayed the quilts with a baking soda solution, laid them over the deck railing and let them hang all day. I'll do the same today and it will probably eleminate the odor completely. Thanks for all the advice. I sure didn't mean to offend anyone.

I work for a company that sells and services sewing machines and I can always tell a smoking home from a non smoking home by the look of the machine. Smokers machines will have a very yellow cast to them even when the machine should be bright white. UGH!!!

I really think that if you are going to run a business, such as offering long arm quilting, you should have the consideration for the customer to NOT SMOKE around their quilt that you are quilting. That is just my opinion....

If I received a quilt back from a LAer & it smelled of smoke, that would be the last time. The smell of smoke stays in the air around them.

Did I read correctly somewhere that smoking deadens the taste and smell receptors in a person? I guess it doesn't matter.Use white vinegar in your wash cycle.I sure hope it works.
