An ashtray with a built in speaker and heat sensor, such that when a lit cigarette is placed in the ashtray phrases such as "Woe, indescribable woe", "Suffering, such terrible, unspeakable suffering" and long, plaintive moaning sounds are emitted as an aversive stimulus to aid in quitting smoking.

Gosh. An anti-smoking idea. |
|
|
Paul: "What's in the box?"
Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam: "Pain." |
|
|
Interesting idea, only I think the
association occurs at an inappropriate
time of the smoking process, namely, its
end. |
|
|
The Lighter of Inconceivable Despair, on
the other hand, makes the would-be
quitter feel bad about the cigarette from
the start! Found to be most effective
when used in combination with an Ashtray
of Inexpressible Relief. |
|
|
How about just having the ashtray cough? |
|
|
I think the very nature of this product undermines the 'unspeakable' part of its title. |

Dunes, help you breath more easily |
|
|
This is not unlike the evil laugh activated hand drier. I would be tempted to take up smoking just for the entertainment value... |
|
|
Actually, that's not a bad idea. What if you had a voice activated lighter and other smoking paraphenalia: |
|
|
"I would really like to inhale a toxic combination of tar, nicotine and other hydrocarbons that will significantly impair my health and will probably lead to my premature death" |
|
|
That way the manufacturers can cover themselves from legal action too. |

//Dunes, help you breath more easily// Well Said [marklar]! |
|
|
I'm trying to imagine the marketing campaign for a cigarette called "Gom Jabbar". |
|
|
I can't see that being an efficient use of
your time, normz. |

Leave him alone!, he's only Human.
<Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam> I shall be the judge of that!. Let's just say that I assert he may be human.</RMGHM> |

It's got the novelty and gag value of the infamous singing mounted bass fish, plus the potential health benefits. |
|
|
//It's got the novelty and gag value of the infamous singing mounted bass fish// i.e. none? |

I'd just end up tapping ash on the floor. |
|
|
Wouldn't that just activate the Marvin-esque Shag Pile Carpet of Eternal Depression?
SPCoED: "Ah, so now it's fag ash is it? I suppose that's marginally better than having people walk all over me. Most of them don't even take their shoes off you know. Have you ever seen the stuff that sticks to the bottom of people's shoes?" |
