This is an article on how the Holmes Smokeless Ashtray can solve the problem for smokers who are concerned about second-hand smoke.
Cigarette smoking is becoming less and less acceptable worldwide as each year passes. With the health issues caused by the inhalation of second-hand smoke now an accepted scientific fact, the list of public places where one can enjoy a smoke is an ever-shrinking one. First, obvious ones like elevators and buses were taken away, then restaurants. Now practically any indoor public space and many workplaces are by law smoke-free. So it is the only place a smoker can enjoy their vice indoors is in his own home.
That does not end the problem for the tobacco user. Unless he is living alone, his smoking will still have an impact on any non-smokers he lives with. Even if they believe the problems caused by the second-hand haze are overstated, the smell that cigarette smoke leaves on clothes and drapes and furniture can be extremely unpleasant to a non-smoker.
Fortunately, there is something that can help with this problem the Holmes smokeless ashtray, which goes by the name the Smoke Grabber. This product will greatly reduce the amount of smoke that escapes into the air, allowing a smoker to indulge his habit with much less impact on those around him.
The concept is simple: while an untended cigarette burning in a conventional ashtray releases all its burning toxins into the air, the Holmes smokeless ashtray contains a fan, which sucks the smoke into an inner compartment where it passes through a filter. This scrubbed and cleansed breeze then passes out the bottom of the ashtray and back into the air, leaving the remnants of tar, nicotine, and other chemicals’ unpleasant scents behind, leaving everyone else in the room breathing easier.
The Holmes product is designed to be an attractive item as well as a functional one. Featuring a stylish chrome and black design, it is about the size of a regular ashtray, but with a lid that might at first glance cause one to believe it was a small jewelry box or perhaps a case for a wristwatch. Opening the lid automatically activates the unit there is no on/off switch. It can accommodate several cigarettes at one time, and it operates with a quiet hum that should not be disruptive for anyone seated nearby. The unit can run on two ‘D’ batteries, or it can operate using the AC adapter that comes with it. The actual tray itself is removable and is dishwasher-safe.
The Smoke Grabber will not totally remove all evidence of smoking from the air of course. The moments when the cigarette is out of the tray or when the user exhales, smoke will not be captured, obviously. In addition, not every molecule of smoke will be trapped by the filtering system for that a much more expensive system would be required. However, for the very reasonable price, usually under twenty dollars, this product is very cost effective.
The best way to end the negative effects of smoking on others would of course be to quit. However, for someone who is not ready to take that step, a Holmes smokeless ashtray is the next best solution.
