Push Down Ashtrays​

Remember those classic push down ashtrays in the 70s and 80s? They were a staple in many backyards, serving a dual purpose: keeping the place tidy and extinguishing cigarettes in a way that felt almost magical.

These retro treasures not only hid the cigarette butts but also masked the lingering smell of smoke, making them perfect for gatherings. Who would have thought that such a simple design could be so practical? It’s no wonder that Seia keeps one around for her smoking friends!

Yes, we had one of these in our living room. I remember I used to love playing with it constantly pushing down the button at the top and watching the disc quickly go down and then back up.
Lots of fun, even for a non-smoker!

To get a good one today will cost a dollar or two.

Someone in my household gave me one 4months after I had given up smoking (cold-turkey)
