My mom is quitting smoking and my sister is trying to get the smoke smell out of her clothes and linens (only reason I'm not is because I live too far away!) So far she's tried 2 washes with baking soda-based laundry detergent and drying with a scented dryer sheet, but the stink is still there.
The Sharper Image "ionic breeze" air cleaners are actually surprisingly good on getting out smoke odors if you use them in an enclosed space. Hang your stuff in a closet, plug in the air cleaner, and close the door. Leave it for a week or so. The cleaner produces a small amount of ozone, and that just eats up the smoke smell.
Then there's the old theatrical trick; fill a pump-spray bottle full of vodka. Hang the stuff you want to deodorize, and mist lightly with vodka. Repeat daily for a few days.
