?

i purchased some lycra gym wear online and when it arrived , whilst in excellent condition , it smelt very strongly of cigarette smoke. i can only assume the house where it came from had heavy smokers and everything was exposed to the smoke , 1 garment still had tags on so it wouldnt have been worn while smoking. is there anything , apart from repeated washing , to get rid of the smell. i have washed them several times now and can still smell it.
