When faced with a bad smell or smoke, it's natural to use the upper portion of one's tie as an impromptu gas-mask. I suggest tie inserts filled with activated carbon that can be used to protect against these foul odors.

Yes ! Could actually use this as a weapon, with the dark portion of the tie an active carbon filter and a lighter portion as a scratch-and-sniff cyanide release mechanism.

I'll just get back to my boys comics again now.

Beats the heck out of the funny looks you get if you went out in public carrying or wearing an actual gas mask.

Probably a bit easier to take on a plane as well.
