First sprinkle chair (if fabric) with baking soda - let set for 24 hours and then vacuum very well. 2. Then clean it either professionally or yourself with upholstery cleaner to remove the residue left by smoking. 3. Place saucers of white vinegar all around it to neutralize the odor. Charcoal will have the same effect. 4. Remove it from any area that is carpeted as carpet absorbs odors as well. If the smell gets in the carpet, sprinkle a mixture of 1 cup of Borax and 2 cups cornmeal - leave on for a hour - then vacuum. Several options:

I add 2 cups of white vinegar with 2 cups of water and about 10-12 drops of essential oil in a 32 oz spray bottle and just spray away. It will smell of vinegar for awhile until it dries but it really does help remove odors. (test a hidden area if concerned first) Also, leaving it outside to let it air when it's not going to be raining will help too. It may be too far gone though if shes had it for a long time. The smell may have penetrated the fibers all the way through to the padding and the only thing that will help is to have it reupholstered.
