I know some smokers here want to take objection to that fundamental reality, but that's the way it is

Remember, the smokers here have no idea how much their homes reek from smoke. They think that a quick airing out takes care of the smell. They think that nonsmokers are exagerating the effect their smoke has on the smell of everything it touches. They simply are clueless because their habit interferes with their sense of smell.

Its like trying to explain an what ugly is to a blind person.

LOL! funny but true. The same affect with pet urine. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to advise a seller to clean up their investment of forget about making a profit.

Well that is definately true, people often don't notice the smells that they are around constantly... but the fact is, and I have seen this, EVEN SMOKERS don't want a obviously well smoked in house! I am not kidding, I have seen couples that were each 3 pack a day smokers, walk into homes that showed the obvious results of years of smoking in a house, walk out saying no way, its too dirty and smelly. And the only dirt and smell were the nicotine and smoke residue.

I have no doubt their house will look and smell just as bad in less than 2 years, but because they are looking to BUY and the defect was obvious both visually and olfactory they didn't want it.

Even smokers don't want homes in that condition if they have a choice. Lets face it, for most people buying a home is the biggest commitment they will make in their lifetimes... they want the very best they can manage.

Blow it out your nose. Or some other appropriate orifice.

A blind person is perhaps the only person to whom ugly is a foreign word; it would be interesting to read these comments to a blind person and have him determine who here is ugly.
