You have to use oil based Kilz, not the latex. The stain will bleed through the latex Kilz. I learned this the hard way, after 3 coats of latex.

Wash the wall with Hot soap and water and then go over it with a Mr. Clean magic eraser

If I paint with KILZ would I have to first use a primer or wash walls? This is for smoke from woodburning fireplace.

If you paint your wall and use a really good primer/sealer first,you should have no problem.

Paint it with KILZ. If you paint it with anything else, the nicotine will bleed through the paint. You can even ask the paint department/store to tint it the color you prefer the wall to be.
