While working in a motel I discovered that Windex with a little bit of rubbing alcohol works great at taking the cig residue and smell off of hard surfaces.
Yes, this is a good method.
I repair vintage electronics and if they were operated in a smoking environment the components and circuit boards are a magnet for cigarette tar. I smoke but am gagged by some of the gear I have to deal with, it reeks.
LOL! My friend has similar stories...he's a guitarist, and collects & repairs old amps. He got an old Fender amp a while back, opened it up, and almost threw up. Turns out it was the dude's "practice amp"...it stayed in the band's rehearsal space. For ten years. All six of the band members smoked, one chain-smoked. YUCK!
