Where do you live? I mean, climate zone.
Confederate jasmine is a nice creeper, smells wonderful. Likewise honeysuckle.
I'd imagine they can be coaxed into growing in a window box, especially trailing down over the edge.
There are also aromatic orchids, but they take some coaxing to bloom. Much of the time, orchids are just fleshy little green leaves bunching over a pot of decomposing bark. When they finally blossom, all is forgiven.
Herbs that have floral scent: lavender and either lemon grass (citronella) or lemon balm - lemon grass favors warmer, wetter climates.
Mint is easy to grow. Dead easy to grow. Smells nice enough. Peppermint is sharper, and spearmint smells nice, too.
Basil also easy to grow.
Sage is not as easy, but has a stronger smell... of sage. Some people don't like it. I do. Same with rosemary. Sage and rosemary are both tolerant of lower water.
Oregano has a good smell - especially the large-leaved variety called "Cuban oregano."
On the tobacco front, the only thing I can think of is a peace lily (spathiphyllum, I think). They're very good at sucking toxins out of the air, according to a NASA study. So are those trailing philodendrons. Peace lilies do well in low light, and their blooms have a lovely, delicate aroma. I think the main thing they were good for, toxin-wise, was removing formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from the air.
Gypsy Christ: one of these would probably be very nice inside your apt.
