Didn't there use to be a specific side of the ship that was sort of reserved for smokers? I don't know if that still holds true or not. Our last room had been used by smokers before. To be honest the stale smoke smell would have been better than the stale smoke smell trying to be covered by one of those perfumed odor remover sprays. The smell only lasted a day....and it's the only time we've had a cabin smell that way. (#15) We have smelled smoke in our rooms before - from our neighbors...but thankfully it's never been too bad. The Paradise was great for non-smokers but kept to the same route most of the time. Because of what MBandy stated above, I'd be surprised if Carnival changed their smoking policy...with the possible exception of certain decks being designated non-smoking decks. (Like many of the hotels do.)
