Abstract

A smoker's appliance for the reduction of a quantity of smoke emanating from a lighted cigarette during periods of time the lighted cigarette is not being smoked includes a hollow support body having a bottom edge for engaging a supporting surface and a wall with a plurality of retaining apertures formed therein, a plurality of receptacle for retaining cigarettes, each receptacle having a generally tubular body with a cylindrical outer surface and a longitudinally extending aperture of polygonal cross section extending between an outer end and an inner end of the tubular body and a fastener for maintaining each of the receptacles in an associated one of the retaining apertures whereby heat energy from the lighted end of a cigarette inserted in one of the receptacles is dissipated through the tubular body and the amount of oxygen supplied to the cigarette is decreased. The support body can be frustum shaped with an open top and bottom and formed of a plastic material while the receptacles are formed of a metal material. The receptacle tubular body has a radially outwardly extending flange formed at the outer end and a chamfer formed on the flange at an entrance to the longitudinally extending aperture for receiving a lighted end of a cigarette.
