Electronic Cigarettes are the new way forward.
If you are addicted to tobacco and chewing gum just does not do it for you then have a look at e-cigs.
They are the bees knees or even the spiders ankles !!!

I used to watch my grandfather make his own cigarettes using a contraption. Laredo, I think the name of it was. They used to sell everything to make professional looking cigs. Like the papers, the filters and tobacco. Later as a delinquent Teen, I would have killed for one of those devices to make the best joints in the hood!

Tom- I’m am quite sure you engage in many practices most anyone else
would find insane or “stupid”. What did mom teach you about “if you don’t
have something nice to say……”?

Ahh but there’s no improving needed on the oldschool briar pipe, the basic design of which hasn’t changed in over a century. Since you don’t inhale, the health risk is minimal. Pipe tobacco actually tastes and smells good; and also smells nice in the jar or tin (unlit). Pipe smoking is only mildly habitforming (in the same manner as munching on snacks) but hardly addictive in the sense that cigarettes are. It’s one of the greatest pleasures known to man, right up there with good coffee and good chocolate.

I’m surprised the steampunk crowd haven’t discovered pipes yet; they fit perfectly with the whole steampunk aesthetic.

I think any or all of these could be used in an anti smoking campaign to show the insanity of smoking.

Awesome list! I get such a kick out of old devices. And for the person who said they wanted one of #3 – the one for smoking in bed, would you believe I recently bought 2 different ones at an auction recently? lol I had never seen such a thing before so I had to have them.

Anyway, thanks for creating this list! Great job!

Cigarette holder for nudists -AND Airmen in dress blues; Besides in you hat, it’s difficult to stay strictly in regs because your smokes make a bulge in uniform pockets. Wrist lighter: harder for someone to borrow and “forget” to return. Keeps smoke out of eyes: I could sure use this one when wearing my contact lenses, especially while chain smoking while web surfing. The hospital pic is very sad, I assume it’s injured soldiers. Today you aren’t allowed to smoke in a hospital, and let me tell you that besides the obvious addiction, it makes trauma, pain, and general stresses of winding up in a hospital even more difficult to deal with. They’ll give a junkie some medication relief, but legal smokers are forced to suffer.

The same advertising power that made the 40’s look retarded has us running around in gas guzzlers and striving to live in McMansions we can’t afford. . . Same ads, diffrent assholes!

The comment by Shawn re source of blowing smoke up ones ass may be off. Book “Bring out your dead” about 1700’s Philladelphia Yellow Fever epidemic reports on “tobacco smoke enemas” as a treatment. Also women and children smoking cigars, pipes and cigarettes to ward off the miasma.

“I have made it a rule never to smoke more that one cigar at a time.”

“As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake. ”

Okay as a non tobacco smoker the whole watch lighter things seems much harder than a regular lighter, that being said I want one because it is just cool.

Should be 15 items. You left off the ass pipe. An early invention upon the introduction of tobacco to Europe. The tobacco museum in Tennessee has several on display. Also the source of the phrase, “blowing smoke up someone’s ass”.

OMG! the double barrel cigarette comment made me laught!

First up, we have this double-barrel cigarette holder. Makes perfect sense, right? Youâ€™ve got two lungs, gotta have two cigarettes.

Man, that is one of the silliest smoking accessories ever!

It is amazing to me that with all of out technical advances, there are very few that are actually useful to the smoker’s. Smokeless ashtray is about the only thing I can think of.

The first one just blows my mind… why would anyone want to smoke two at a time?
These pics look like they’re from the 30’s and 40’s and the portable and built in ashtrays seem out of place. Because… I watch old film noir movies and they always light a cig and throw their matches and flick the ashes right on the floor.
I didn’t have to squint too hard in the last pic… That is Captain Picard and the second pic reminds me of FDR.
