When the nicotine/tar stains are still visible through 3 layers of paint and 3 layers of primer, ain't nothing activist about it... its reality.

That is sheer fantasy nonsense. Complete BS. I just called a RE agent friend in Wichita, and she has never heard of such conditions, and is a non-smoker. I couldn't believe some of the stuff you were posting, so I checked with somebody who knows their housing markets. She was more polite than I am, just said you sounded like some kind of fanatic.

Come on over Judity Anne, any time, I'll gladly show you and your realtor friend exactly what I am talking about. Just got finished with my brothers house 2 weeks ago, and his house wasn't even that bad. Still took 2 coats fo primer and 3 coats of Semi Gloss to get the walls to where you couldn't tell where the previous owner hung his pictures from the nicotine stains....

So anytime you are ready, just just come for a visit.

Good for you.

But expect to be attacked. Anytime I have done what you did (call someone that knows) I have been called all kinds of nasty things, liar being the nicest of the names.
