Well, I decided to do it the easy way and called a company who is coming this week to clean. He said that he has cleaned houses with smokers before and shouldn't be a problem. Very excited I don't have to do it myself. Thanks again for all your help.
I think I have found a big culprit - a large window air conditioner - which is getting moved to the basement and covered.
NC_Paddler - what type of charcoal would I use and where would I get it? The more things I can use the better I would feel. Of course July being the worst month in 15 yrs for house sales isn't giving me too much hope - but I would rather be prepared.

There are lots of products out there . . . I just did a quick google, and this one came up:
No advice to offer- but I just think it is very kind of you to be going to all that trouble for your parents-
Thanks, my parents have done sooo much for me - they mean the world to me. Took me years to realize how important family is. Making up for my childhood/teenage years!!!!
Additional you can place an open container or sheet of air freshener behind every vent cover - the best and least intrusive would be something like "Clean cotton" (same scent in every vent).
You can also buy air freshener it in a bottle, place strip of foam saturated with the fresh scent inside every vent and turn the A/C or "air" on; refill as needed.
Nobody has mentioned it yet, so I will. My all time favorite air freshener is coffee grounds. Put fresh grounds in some small bowls and scatter them throughout the house. It will make the house smell better. I use this every time I paint an occupied house, and it does a fantastic job of getting rid of paint odors.
You'll still have to clean well, but to get rid of the ambient odors try the coffee grounds trick.
