who do you remove tobacco tar from your home walls?

i just bought a house and the seller smoked heavily.out side the bathroom you can see the tar on the walls. how can i de-tar all of the walls with out hurting the paint?

Answers:
hot soapy water, 409, mean grean is really good, dawn is a good grease cutter. just wash it on with a rag let it sit a second or 2 and wipe off with clean hot water. we're smokers and this is how i wash my walls. (I use mean grean) get it at dollar stores.

Other answers:
You pretty much have to steam the walls,use a heavy duty cleaner, and scrub. I had the same problem at a place I moved into and just repainted. It was worth it because the smell still lingers as well as the ugly color it leaves behind. Good Luck!
