Getting rid of cigarette smoke

[Mandevilla]

We are due to be moving shortly, to a tied house that goes with my husband's job. There is a very strong smell of cigarette smoke in the new property, and I'm really concerned about how it will impact my asthma. Obviously, once the current resident moves their furniture out, hopefully a lot of the smell will go with it, but I know a lot will still cling to the carpets, curtains and paintwork.

Has anyone had experience of trying to eradicate cigarette smoke from a property? Obviously, we can request that the curtains and carpets are professionally cleaned, but I'm worried that won't be enough. Any suggestions/advice for dealing with the smell will be much appreciated!
