I'm very surprised that the apt management didn't do a walk through with you before you signed anything. Did they?

Apt Management should be held accountable to have the apt move in ready, which means even the smell of smoke. If you have a child or children, that can be bad for their health.

Before doing anything, find out what the apt management will do for you.

Now if it's past that point/you don't care and just want it gone... Febreze works wonders. Baking soda for the carpet, steam clean the carpets & curtains and leave the windows open to allow fresh air in.

To mask the smell, Coffee beans, put them in a plastic zip lock bag, freeze it, then pop about a dozen holes in the bag and place the bag somewhere in the home, works great for cars too.
