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 are positioned between the open upper end and the open lower end;
• an arm coupled to 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;
• a lower portion being configured to be coupled with the upper portion, the lower portion being pre-charged with inert gas having a higher specific gravity than that of air.
