What I now do (now that I've learned my lesson :) is to fill up the
upstairs bathroom sink with warm water, dump the legos in there,
and then pump a few spurts of Dial antibacterial soap in. I swirl it
around, let it sit for an hour, rinse, and the smoke smell is totally
gone.

Yes... There are some people who have picked up on this and list their
Lego auctions as "smoke-free', and I'm willing to pay slightly more to avoid
the hassle and all-around grossness of smoke-encrusted bricks. I can
usually tell if someone's a smoker when I first pick up the box, before even
opening it. Ick. :)
