he will keep smelling like cigarettes if he is in an environment where cigarettes are smoked. If nobody in your house smokes cigarettes, he probably visits someone who does or found a place where someone dumped cigarette butts and rolled in them. You can try to give him a bath and hope the smell goes away.
