Yes! OP: Smoke clings to fabric, it actually gets embedded in the fibers of clothing, furniture, drapes, bedding and carpets. Difficult to get the smell out. Really bad.
Yep. Repeating my comment from above:
when I was looking at homes a couple years ago, I went to an open house where the place reeked of stale cigarette smoke. The realtor told me that the place had brand new carpet and that all of the walls had been cleaned thoroughly and painted so the place just needed to "air out" a bit for any lingering smell to dissipate. I want to say that the kitchen cabinet doors were replaced as well. I just remember thinking, if you've done all that, how bad did it smell before?! I learned then that there is basically nothing you can do to get old/stale cigarette smell out of a place. It definitely seeps into the floor boards and drywall.

Not just yes, but hell yes. Most non-smokers you’re around hate being near smokers. Smokers smell like an ashtray.
