Don't you hate sitting behind someone in a car that flicks their butts out the window like it's not littering somehow?
Here's where the kinetic exploding butt comes into play!
A tiny charge and sensor are placed in the side of the filter so when a shock of a certain magnitude is registered
the butt goes off with a resounding BOOM! Who wants everyone to look at you as you dispose of your butts?!
The charge serves a dual purpose in that it explodes loudly AND the heat release incinerates the butts themselves.
This product works even better in the ghetto where some may even return fire!

It's my idea, of course I like it... hey, Gray Davis voted for himself, why can't I? |
|
| |
So they throw their butt towards you and it explodes, then everyone looks at you thinking you threw it, and then ghetto gangs shoot you full of lead. This is a smart idea. |
|
| |
What if you're just flicking the ash off on a
tray when it goes off?! That would suck! |
|
| |
I don't smoke and I would buy these by the carton. |
|
| |
I can see the butt hitting the windshield of my vehicle and then exploding... That would be a bad thing. Otherwise, interesting. Perhaps a small bit of nitroglycerine on the filter could do the job? |
|
| |
So much for bringing your smokes on the plane with you anymore... |
|
| |
So, let me see if I understand this. People
who smoke are going to buy this product
for why, exactly? |

Are you INSANE, man? It is the very reason that they explode that will ensure their commercial success. Jesus, I may well take up smoking, just so that after I finish one I have a small explosive device that I can flick whereever I like. |

I could be like some kind of B-grade superhero or something. Fighting crime and scoring hot babes with a casual flick of the wrist. |

This may just be the greatest idea ever... |
|

Quite so. But I thought the idea was
meant to act as some kind of deterrent to
dissuade people from dropping their
butts? By the way, a lot of people are still
in the habit of tapping their cigarette
before lighting it (though I think this
action was originally intended to compact
the tobacco hanging out of the end of a
filterless cigarette). This, presumably, is a
habit they would have to unlearn quite
quickly. |

I agree with [phundug] on all counts. This would encourag butt-flicking (flick it out of the window, speed away and savour the blast.) |
