John,
If the PCBs are bare, you can wash them in alcohol or even with soap and
water. Even if some components are mounted, that may still be a
solution - but do *not* wash them if there are components like relays,
inductors, switches, control pots, and other similar components already
mounted - if the cleaning solution has any chance of staying inside a
component, then do not try that approach.
A day or two in an area containing lots of Ozone will effectively
neutralize odors, so if you have a local company that does smoke damage
cleanup, they might be willing to help you.

I have a kit which I picked up from a ham who must've been quite a smoker.
I was wondering if anyone has any tips as to how to eradicate the
cigarette smell from the parts. Luckily, lots of stuff was still in
plastic bags...but the PCBs were not. :-(
Thanks.
