Abstract
A fire safe, environmentally protective cigarette holder for fully enveloping a lit cigarette and in which an internal power source maintains a flow of air to the lit portion and drives the exhaust smoke through a filter before it is vented to the atmosphere, thus filtering products of combustion which are not drawn in by the smoker. Additional filtering means which can include the cigarette itself can be utilized to filter the drawn smoke.
Claims5
A fire-safe environmentally protective cigarette holder for discharging only filtered smoke to the environment both when the smoker is drawing and when the cigarette is free burning, comprising
- a closed casing for containing at least the burnable body portion of the cigarette;
- an air inlet port in the casing;
- duct means to direct fresh air from the inlet port to the burnable body portion of the cigarette;
- motor driven impeller means to move the air from the inlet port to the burnable body to maintain combustion when the smoker is not drawing;
- a discharge port for the products of combustion and
- filter means in the path of discharge,
- whereby the impeller means and the smoker when drawing provide parallel impelling forces for the airflow from the inlet port to the burnable body.
