Would you buy a smokers house if you are non-smokers?

We've seen a house we like in an area we like, but it's a smokers house. Each to their own and all that, but I don't want to live in it.

DH reckons you would be able to completely get rid of the smell by replacing all carpets and curtains, redecorating throughout etc.

I'm a bit sceptical. What if the smell lingers from the floorboards, loft etc? It did smell VERY strongly when we viewed, and that was with all the windows open.

Anyone have experience of this? Don't want to take a gamble!

For a temporary measure the Plug In Anti-Tabacco air freshners can help so can scented candles, but a good clean and a coat of paint generally sorts things out.
