One of the obvious ways to improve the air quality in your home is move the smoking habit outdoors, to a specific room or garage. Consider quitting all together or chewing nicotine gum when inside. You can also purchase "smokeless" ash trays as a means to trap the smoke and keep it from wandering around your home as much.

Buy rich oxygen producing plants along plants that have air purifying qualities such as the Chlorophytum or Spider Plant. Using your HVAC blower throughout the day can possibly help dilute the concentration of smoke caused by cigarettes but would more than likely increase your energy bill in the process. Using scented dryer sheets and attaching them to the heating and cooling vents can help with the odors as well.

Use potpourris and air ionization devices to lessen the smell of tobacco smoke. If you want to get rid of the tobacco smells temporarily and quickly, try moistening a towel with a little vinegar and flap the towel around to move the stale air out a window or door. You can also set out a mixture of 1 cup of water with 2 tablespoons of ammonia in an open container help mask the smell.
