youre right $4 is GREAT DEAL, but let me get this straight, its actually the smell of smoke thats bothering you about them?  :dunno when you get rid of the smell of smoke you`re going to keep them original obviously :) , sorry... hate myself for how I said it, but seriously?  :-\

I would love to recover them eventually, but since I no longer have help doing it, I'm going to have to pay someone to do it, which could be expensive.  I'd like to get them to the point where they are usable, then worry about making them look nice. I can't stands the smell of them in my house.

+1 on the Ozone Generator.  Have used one before to get the smoke smell out of an apartment.  Crack that puppy up on high and leave for the weekend.

Strip the foam and vinyl entirely off those suckers and have them redone.  The vinyl is permanently saturated as is the cushion.  Nothing you do, and I do mean nothing, is going to get rid of 20 years of cigarette smoke and old guy farts from those cushions.

Might want to strip and repaint the frames while you're at it.  That shouldn't take more than a couple hours.

If you don't want to pay someone you can do it yourself.  Cut some MDF in the shape of the supports that are inside the cushions.  Wrap some vinyl from the fabric store around them, staple half of it in place... stick some sponge material cut down to shape in there... staple the rest.  We're talking about $4 used stools here.  Clean 'em up and put 'em in place.

TSP cleaner, rinse, TSP, rinse, TSP, rinse.

TSP does what all other cleaners wont for smoke smell. Sometimes can be hard to find. Don't get the TSP imitation though. Not as good.

I've heard the O-zone machine work, but never used them.
