USB Ash Tray - A Useful Invention

Habitual smokers who wish to keep the air fresh for others will find this USB ashtray quite useful. The mechanism of the ashtray is really simple: it plugs into a computer's USB port and draws smoke through a deodorizing filter.

Flipping up the lid reveals the ashtray with a tiny little chick, which basically is an exhaust fan that inhales any smoke coming in and that prevents the smoke from emanating to other parts of the workplace. The smell of the cigarette smoke is absorbed by a pack of deodorant beads(Filters) that is hidden at the back of the main body.

Features :

USB powered or operate by 2 x "AA" batteries

Smoke will pass through the filter and absorb by the carbon.

The fan, however, is only USB-powered since there is no slot for external batteries, which means that the ashtray won't work unless it's plugged into a computer. The cute ashtray comes in four vivid colors (pink, yellow, blue, and gray) with a sale prices of around 1,580 yen ($16).
