I have read of people using cat litter or baking soda. You don't have to actually place the figures in the litter/baking soda. Just place both items in an air tight container for a few days. I think that a fabric softner sheet will do the trick as well or just sealing them in a tupperware container will slowly cause the container to absorb much of the smell.

I was just going to guess...but I would have suggested baking soda as well. It works great for taking smells out of stuff. The dryer sheets TMNTMan suggested would probably work as well...except that it would make them smell like spring time instead
As far as people not mentioning things smelling like smoke, it probably has to do with them not noticing. When you are a smoker, the smell is so second nature, that often times you litterally cant smell it yourself (I smoked for about 8 years).
