From what I've googled so far, it doesn't sound promising. Just have to

Well, one option would be a different point of attack: Nose
plugs/clips. This would be fairly effective against the smell, but
unfortunately, she would still be breathing it in. My next thought was
a mask, but a lot depends on the nature of the smoke/odor that's left.
Some quick Googling strongly suggests that basic dust or surgical
masks do not provide fine enough filtration to stop cigarette smoke,
not to mention they are often not fitted well enough to make a
complete seal, so whatever filtration they do provide can be
compromised. I don't know how the fire residue compares to cigarette
smoke. (You don't have a full-on gas mask handy, do you?)

Another low-tech approach: Use a fan to point the smoke and odor away
from her. (Maybe combine this with air freshening; then the airflow
can sweep away both the smoke and the air freshener, where they can
duke it out downwind. ;)

Good luck!
