Contingencies related to smoking

Just finished touring an older home and really like it. Only drawback was a musty odor, which we couldn't quite place -- was it from smoking, from the recent paint job, or simply from the elderly nature of the home where it hadn't been ventilated in a while in a hot climate (or all of the above?). Our agent wasn't sure, and their agent said she "didn't know if they smoked or not."

We absolutely don't want to live in a home that was smoked in for years, but we are in an extremely competitive market and don't have the luxury of going back for a second look, testing the air on our own, etc. Does anyone have any suggested contingencies to include in our offer to cover an air quality/tobacco exposure inspection and being able to back out if such is detected?

​

Thanks!

We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
