Clean it up
Clean up your smoke damage and if you do it right your problems should be over. Don't be confused though, because if there was actual structural damage you should get a professional in there to make sure the roof isn't going to fall on you and hurt you later on. It's kinda like after someone gets in a wreck, they say they feel fine but then 6 months later they realize they aren't.

Cleaning The Ducts
Just make sure you consult a professional or someone who deals with smoke damage repair enough to make the proper decisions in this case and so you don't cause more harm than good. Consulted professional restorers and the smoke removal methods they will use, or you might try to use yourself. A chemical sealer might be your best bet to simply seal of those odors. They can secure the smoke permanately to the sides in the duct, because with ducts having so many spots to clean, in the crevices and what-not, that might be your best bet.
Smoke Damage And You
Make sure when dealing with smoke damage you do not use, under any possible circumstances, water-based cleaner on any plaster walls in the location where the smoke or fire damage occured. It would cause your walls to bleed and create more damage than you needed. It will bleed into the wall and ruin it further than it is. Use the correct type of cleaner so what you are doing will actually help in the process.
When a fire occurs, smoke can go into the walls and other types of surfaces and will drift through the ducts in your house, and it will get trapped. If you don't remove it properly, you will smell those smoke odors from time to time in the future, whenever the vents are at the wrong spot or have the air going through it. This will especially happen during warm or dampish times.
