Nicotine stains

We just pulled off wallpaper on every wall and ceiling downstairs in house we bought in Feb'.
Plasterer has skimmed all the ceilings and all fine apart from the kitchen which looks like it has big measles.
We're assuming these are nicotine stains, although it wasn't obvious that there was nicotine staining on the ceiling before it was skimmed.
Has had 2 coats of emulsion to no avail.
As we've already painted, can we still use oil based undercoat (thinned down slightly?) to try and block them?
Cheers for any advice.
