As someone who has had to clean up nicotine staining like this I have a word of caution. Wear rubber gloves if it gets wet and gets on your skin it will seep into your pores and you will get nicotine poisoning. Which most likely means a trip to the ER.
I remember one time about 10-15 years ago I was at the Las Vegas Airport waiting for my plane to go home. I needed a smoke really bad because I had been smoking like crazy in the casinos since I always smoke a lot when I drink and they give you free drinks non stop. I walked around for a bit and found a airport smoking area that had slot machines in it. I saw an empty seat and sat down at one of the machines snd lit up my cig. I looked around and noticed everyone else was older like in their 70’s+ and looked really bad. A really old woman came up to me and asked if I was going to play the slot machine in front of me. I said “huh” and she said in a mean voice “if your not playing get the F out the dam way son!”. Wow ok I got up real quick, I had been sitting at the machine because there weren’t any other chairs in the box and really not any room to stand. So I backed up into the corner against the glass to finish my smoke. As I was taking a drag I looked up and saw the ceiling, it was dark brown. I looked around at all the older people smoking, coughing and pulling the arms of the slot machines down over and over like zombies. I put my cigarette out and decided to quit right then and there. It took me a while but I quit cold turkey not that long after. Its been a long time but I’m still smoke free.

Maybe the reason everything was brown in the 70s had little to do with fashion and all to do with smoking
