Lungs Ashtray Entices Fatalists

This “Lungs” ashtray from designer Chi-Ja Ling would go great with my liver shot glasses. Sadly, it does not appear to be for sale. Guess I’ll just keep my ashes and butts where I normally do: in my actual lungs.

   You keep cigarette butts in your lungs?

   I used to have an astray that had a dome over it, and above that was a pair of pink translucent plastic lungs… Kinda worked like a chimney for the astray, but the more you used it, the blacker the little lungs got. I actually never used it, and eventually gave it to a friend.

   As for the warnings… When I was in Australia back in ’95, I remember seeing a cigarette machine in a bar that had an X-ray of some lungs that had emphysema. Covered the whole front of the machine. No text, just the image. Even though I was a smoker at the time, I thought it was pretty bad ass.

   Also intended for smokers who like to feel in control of their destinies:

   There’s a tiny glow-in-the-dark boob on the back of the men’s shirt, and a tiny peen on the back of the ladies’.

   quite symbolic, yes.

   satman: didn’t mark twain say that?

   jacktd01: i didn’t find anything about ashtrays on ibeatyou, but someone should start a competition about it, it’s bound to win.

   This is such a good symbolic anti-smoking ashtray. Imagine the grey ashes falling into the ashtray, representing the damage it does to your lungs. Great creative invention. btw I think this would be perfect for ibeatyou

   Doesn’t matter how big the warnings are. You could have cigarettes that were called the warnings. You could have cigarrets that come in a black pack, with a skull and a cross bone on the front, called tumors and smokers would be lined up around the block going, “I can’t wait to get my hands on these fucking things!”

   Quitting smoking is easy. I’ve done it dozens of times….
