Removing smoke smell

Hey BP! 

Hopefully everyone else isn't enjoying Labor Day wknd scrubbing nicotine off the walls!

I'm working on my first investment property for a house hack. The house was previously smoked in. I'm scrubbing the walls with TSP and it's working great. Planning to paint with Kilz original oil based primer then probably a Behr Premium.

Curious if people recommend washing twice with TSP if I'm going to paint over with Kilz and a latex paint?

Kitchen Walls are Formica (might sheetrock over or paint), living areas are wood paneling, bedrooms are sheetrock if that matters. 

Ceiling is the old 12" x 12" tiles. Plan to paint them as well. 

Class C property. 

Thanks much! 

Andrew
