August 6, 20188 yr Gday i still own this little beauty. A real 70s stunner. I use it as a mosquito coil burner! Cracks me up when people comment on it and ask me where I brought from! No one recognizes it's an ashtray! Wow the world has changed.
August 6, 20188 yr what an awesome mozzie coil holder even if it is a 70's style take on art deco. Because I never smoked inside I had an old Coffee tin which is long gone and one of those pocket ashtrays so when I was out and about I didn't have to drop a but.... oh and those plastic bucket ones that were supposed to be fire proof but I could always manage to set on fire...
August 6, 20188 yr Author G'day Jo Hate to break it to you Jo. My job as a kid when we had visitors was to make sure everyone had an ashtray. My poor old 10 year old truck doesn't have an ashtray. You could put one of those but bin things in the cup holder. Much prefer the cup holder. i do have 2 cig lighter thingies. Perfect.. Sat nav one one Mobil recharge in the other . regards Chris
August 6, 20188 yr I still have three ashtrays. One is an amber glass one from the 60's that holds a potted plant. And two are put away in a garage cupboard. I gotta have something for people to put their butts in if they are smokers. Otherwise the butts end up in my plants ? We still have a friend or two and a brother in law that smokes
August 6, 20188 yr My cheap plastic ashtrays are long gone. While still smoking I had been trying to find a decent one and ended with a couple cheap plastic ones that I found at a party store, where 99% of the store inventory was children's toys and balloons. Even the tobacco shop where I bought cigarettes didn't have decent one. I do still have 2 lighters though which I've used to light candles in a power outage.

I used to use a half empty Mt Franklin bottle as my car ashtray... because it made the car smell less ... well that was what I told myself anyway.
August 7, 20188 yr My step parents used to have some ash tray that was the size of a dinner plate. It had an eagle engraved on the bottom. Who the hell needs something THAT big?
August 7, 20188 yr I found out that if I do still have an ashtray in/around my house, it is very well hidden! I had a little bbq this past Saturday, as my former FIL was in town. I was shocked when he walked in - he flashed a box of Marlboro menthols at me and asked if I minded. He had been vaping for a few years - so much for that! He had to make do with a red Solo cup filled halfway w water. It was not pretty! It was pretty disgusting, actually!!
August 7, 20188 yr No ash trays here. Nothing related to smoking at all actually. I don't know anyone that smokes, so there's no reason. I keep a Bic lighter with my camping equipment, but that's it.

August 9, 20188 yr The day I quit I chucked out all my ashtrays. Sure felt weird doing it cause I paused, only momentarily, thinking in some way I still needed them. Then I carefully chucked them in the trash, like saying goodbye to an old friend. Weird huh.
