Systems and methods for a self-extinguishing smoke device

A self-extinguishing smoke device, comprising:

• an upper portion including an open upper end and an open lower end, wherein tapered sidewalls continuously extend from a first circumference of the open upper end to a second circumference of the open lower end;
• a curved arm coupled to the first circumference of the upper portion via a hinge positioned on a proximal end of the arm, the arm including a ball positioned on a distal end of the arm and a tab projecting away from the arm, the ball being configured to be positioned away from the open lower end in a first mode and the ball being configured to cover the open lower end in a second mode, the tab being positioned on a first surface of the curved arm between the hinge and the ball, wherein the tab includes a planar portion and a curved portion;
• a lower portion being configured to be removably coupled with the upper portion, the lower portion being pre-charged with inert gas having a higher specific gravity than that of air, wherein the open lower end of the upper portion provides a passageway into the lower portion, the tab being configured to be positioned over the first circumference in the first mode and a surface of the planar portion of the tab being positioned adjacent to an outer sidewall of the upper portion in the second mode.
