Yes, cigarette smoke can still get to the second floor. It gets through all of the cracks and crevices. It does get through the same way air does. Just store the items in plastic bags and this should help keep the smell off of the item you are selling.

No one smokes in our house at all, but once I must have worn my coat around a smoker, then put it away for the summer. The next fall, it smelled of smoke, so the odor must permeate and linger, to be smelled mostly by non-smokers.
