Glad your ok Bud! Id think that salt treatments or the like will help. Also the incident is fresh in your mind and that effects things. Sometimes when I eat crab I think I smell them for days on my body. I believe it in my mind is all.
That sucks man, sorry to hear that. Try this for your pipes: http://www.glpease.com/Articles/Spot.html

At the risk of being somewhat repetitive, three methods that will work:
1. Salt and alcohol treatment. May fix the problems with the bowl, won't do anything for the stems. However, soaking the stem in Oxyclean may help. Then you will need to polish it.
2. GLP's "ghosts be gone treatment" is, IMHO more effective for the bowl. See above for stems.
3. What I would do: send my pipes to www.walkerpiperepair.com and let Mike solve the problem for you. His Ozone treatment will remove any trace of odor. Your pipe will smell like new--guaranteed. It's $5 for the first pipe and $2 for each additional pipe. If I get an estate pipe that's in totally disreputable condition, I send it to Mike and he sends it back completely sanitized, looking and smelling like new. Check out the prices for his various services. You won't have the use of your pipes for a few weeks, so you may need to pick up a couple of cobs at your local drugstore, but Mike's services always work.

Thank you all for worrying for me! Everyone did get out safe and I don't think the s/a treatment will work but I can try. There was so much smoke coming out of my apartment that the tweed and pd couldn't tell which was on fire at first. You can look it up online, crestview manor apartment fire, that should get you to it. Thanks shaintiques, I will once again be indebted to you, thank God I put my baccy in some little mason jars. Well most of it anyway.
Ps. Mines the apt. Above the one that burned and there is no fire damage to my apt but the amount of smoke that came through it was ridiculous. No renters ins, but the people who own it are paying for it to be professionaly cleaned. Well their ins is.
Glad you're ok, sorry that life has become a hassel.
Ozone treatments at Walkers run $5 for the first pipe and anything after is $2.50. Hopefully you have renters insurance, but if the person below you was negligent, they might be responsible (I know, try to collect).
Good luck, glad you weren't hurt.
