I'll have a go with the Ambi-pure ones, but I don't see why we should fork out so much trying to make the room smell better when the cause of the problem is still defying the house rules!!!!

One room in the house is in need of fumigating IMHO, it reeks of stale smoke and is just fecking nasty.
The house will be sold soon and obviously it will not be a good thing for it to smell the way it does.
The carpets are going to be steam cleaned soon and again when the house goes on the market.
Febreze doesn't seem to be shifting the smell much, though the fact that the thing residing in the room persists in smoking in the room when told not to and told the reasons why!!!!!!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

hmm, was going to suggest frebreeze. Hey you could squirt it over the thing that is smoking, might work, or at least persuade it not to smoke in that room.
How about a brace of glad plug in air freshener things in all the plug sockets in the room, plus frebreeze? might work.

Even the anti-tobacco ones.

Removing the thing that smokes full stop would be the best option, but I won't go there. 
It drives me mad just thinking about it. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
At the moment, a shed load of Febreze has gone over the carpet, chairs and beds......as well as a scented candle with a couple of air fresheners. Nothing seems to be working!!!!
My brother is stopping over here and has been sleeping in that room, I find it damn rude that this person has continued to smoke in the room, making the area where my brother sleeps stink, making all is clothes stink......[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

ambi-pure are stronger than glade plug-ins, i use them on full setting in the house and office...heavy smoking office too...and smells sweetly all day and night
they are more expensive than glades but they do work better

Thanks for the ideas guys, a very harsh word was said a little earlier on and hopefully the cause has been stifled. Now we can concentrate on eradicating the smell without worry of re-occurence and the house sale can start to be thought about with one less thing to worry about.
Will do some shopping for more smelly things.

Chelle, you're taking the advice wrong.
Joss-sticks, fabreeze, ambi-pur - yes, buy them all, but don't leave them just anywhere in the room, their positioning in the room is crucial. They have to be all inserted deeply and forcefully into the mouth of the smoker.
After that, leave the windows open for a few days, it'll smell fine
