Cleaning old acoustic

First dust it off
Next, wipe down with a damp cloth
Wipe down with a cloth soaked in naptha (zippo lighter fluid)
using cotton swaps dipped in naptha (or slightly stronger solvent like mineral spirits) apply to encrusted crud (i.e. dead skin cells in frets) and let sit for a bit
wipe off with a clean cloth soaked in naptha
once fairly clean, use clean cloths dampened in water, and elboe grease to clean the finish until the crud is gone.
Polish as usual
 
Naphtha ... (Ronsinol lighter fluid). Don't "soak" the cloth, rather, dampen the cloth with naphtha. Don't let it soak, just wipe the crud off, and scrub a bit if you have to. You don't want anything wicking down into the fret slots. The last step should be to use a soft cloth dampened with some soap and water to remove the traces of crap that remain (the naphtha will mostly evaporate, but leaves behind a very thin film of whatever crud it was cleaning), followed by a water-only cloth (to rinse off the soap film). I'm in the "don't polish ... ever" camp ... most polishes suck and leave behind a waxy buildup, or worse, leave behind a film of silicone. You might consider a light dressing of the fretboard with Fast-Fret if it seems dry.

It's still gonna stink like tobacco, I'm afraid. Try making a sachet with some baking soda and letting it sit in the soundhole. Replace the baking soda once a week or so until you can stand the smell again. Some have success with Febreeze, too.
