SmokeRight Ashtray Puts an End to Secondhand Smoke
Chicago-based SmokeRight LLC offers a patented ashtray device that eliminates up to 95 percent of secondhand smoke from the tip of a burning cigarette without the use of fans, filters, or batteries. The SmokeRight ashtray works by dramatically reducing the flow of oxygen to the tip of the cigarette, decreasing the rate at which it burns. Aside from significantly reducing secondhand smoke and cigarette odor, SmokeRight also extends the life of a cigarette, saving a smoker hundreds of dollars a year. In addition, the ashtray automatically extinguishes a cigarette after it is in the device for more than 90 seconds. It is available in three models; the table-top model for both home and office; the automotive cup holder for any vehicle; and a portable clip attachment to turn any ashtray into a SmokeRight ashtray. For retailers, a colorful, eye-catching countertop POP/wing display or a floor-standing POP display is available to attract consumers to the SmokeRight ashtray.
