A misting candle snuffer for substantially minimizing the production of smoke following the extinguishment of a candle flame. According to a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises a elongate handle member having proximal and distal ends. Formed within the proximal end is reservoir for containing a quantity of fluid, such as water. A port is provided to access such reservoir. The proximal end further includes a trigger mechanism that can be accessed by the fingers or hand of the user that is in communication with the reservoir. A channel is provided that extends the length of such handle member and is in fluid communication with the reservoir such that actuation of the trigger mechanism causes water to be forced therethrough. A conical or bell-shaped housing is formed at the distal most end of the handle member and in fluid communication with the channel disposed within the handle that is operative to disperse or mist a quantity of fluid contained within the reservoir when the trigger is actuated. In use, once the housing is placed upon the candle flame sought to be extinguished, the trigger mechanism may be actuated such that the mist distributed via the housing formed on the distal end of the handle prevents smoke from dispersing around to the surrounding air.
