What is the best way of getting rid of the cigarette smell?

I usually through everything into a pillow case and
into the washing machine.

Some of the parts, I have had to put through 2 or
3 times though.

I have had pretty good luck soaking stinky parts in a mixture of water and
Pine-Sol.  I have been mixing it in roughly a 10:1 (water to Pine-Sol) ratio
and letting it soak for an hour or two followed by air drying.  I stir the
bucket of parts periodically as well.  The only ramifications I have seen is
some fading on a yellow technic 2x2 wheel on a batch that I let soak too
long in too strong of a solution.  It is pretty amazing (and gross) how
dirty the cleaning solution ends up.  YMMV.
