No Smoking Sign Ashtray

patent#: US D500166

A design only a New Yorker could come up with.

Submitted for review two-and-a-half weeks before the New York City Council voted to ban cigarette smoking from bars and restaurants, NYC designer Mark Cameron Naden predicted the outrage of city smokers.

They may take our smokes, but they'll never take our IRONY!!!

At last, you can conveniently smoke and drink while speaking in front of a large group of people. As a stand-up comedian I applaud these inventors. This is a dream dream come true for many fast-living comics and musicians around the world..

Smoking Material

patent#: US 6779531

Think the tobacco industry is kinder and gentler after the after the historic class-action lawsuit settlement? This concoction of Brown and Williamson's contains a limit of 20% tobacco, yet is still "fully acceptable to the consumer." What's in the other 80%? Read the full patent.

Ginkgo Biloba L. Leaves Cigarette

patent#: US 6776169

First of all, I find it odd that you can patent taking a tree leaf and lighting it on fire. We don't want to be creating economic incentives for pyromaniacs.

Second of all, the inventor claims that these cigarettes "can prevent and cure hypertension, heart disease, arteriosclerosis and senile dementia disease." What any evidence? This guy is throwing out claims like a pioneer during Manifest Destiny. Besides, we don't want old people to smoke. Then it won't be cool anymore.

Now here's a lovely gift that every child will want. Is the guy actually smoking in the casket? That's so cool. Does he have one of those hilarious post-tracheotomy voices?
