These Mini Lighter Cufflinks were available on Etsy before the internet took over and sold out every last pair. Will they be back? Who knows, but lord, these things are awesome.
They’re cufflinks which are actual lighters, meaning you can light up a smoke without even reaching into your pocket. I wouldn’t recommend these if you go a little heavy on the cologne. That could end pretty messy and likely extra crispy.
Remember how your parents were always trying to softly “suggest” that you get a haircut and “your own damn place.” I’m not an psychologist, but I think what they were really trying to suggest is that they wanted to see some independence emerge from your man-child mentality.
So, you’ve finally moved out, but moved right in with a woman who might as well be your slave. If she ties your shoes for you, it’s love. You might as well pick yourself up some of these Objects of Co-Dependency, because you are never going to be able to do anything on your own.
Doesn’t it suck when you get stuck with a shitty new roommate? You know the type I mean. The ones who demand that we can’t puff away at smokes all day indoors like we’re accustomed to. And we just got our brand new lighter too! Who do they think they are? The government?
As they usually do, Thanko has come to our rescue. Their USB Cigarette’s emissions has a sweeter aroma than typical tobacco smoke, though it does eliminate all of that delicious nicotine and tar. Thanko ships the custom filters in packs of 11 and the USB Cigarette itself for about $30.
Did you get a ticket for talking on your cellphone while driving? Man, that sucks. Well, do something about it, get a headset. Better yet, get a headset to feed your nicotine addiction. Making calls is as easy as shouting into this cigarette box.
It’s designed for Nokia/Samsung/Sony Ericsson cellphones or people trying to get over cancer by reminding themselves that this pack is not smokeable. It’s the headset that doesn’t mind getting coughed all over, after all, it’s used to it. I’m amazed by the fact that this $6.79 headset is not only cheaper than a lot of headsets, but it’s also cheaper than cigarettes. What the fuck?

A Japanese company called Fujitaka has introduced a “Child Check System” for cigarette vending machines that uses facial recognition. It then compares the face with 100,000 faces in the vending machines database after taking a digital photograph of the consumer.
The legal smoking age in Japan is 20, so if you just so happen to be a 13-year old looking 20 year-old man, you’re shit out of luck. And if you’re a 20-year old who looks like a 13-year old, you get to cheat the system.
A little more than a year ago we brought you the Ultimate Smokers’ Phone, a device which was made to look like a Chinese-brand of cigarettes’ pack, and even held real cigarettes. This time around, we’ve found a adaptation of the device which is much more Americana, featuring the design of the well-known Marlboro brand.
The Dual-band Marlboro phone features a 1.8″ LCD which offers a display of 260,000 colors and a 176 x 220 pixel resolution, not to mention a smoke whenever you need one. The form factor remains similar to the original, though now with a cowboy killer flair! You can get your own for ?70.62, or about $140. More images after the jump! (more…)
Landline phones are so 1992. And if we had a choice between a cigarette-themed mobile phone or a similar landline device, we’d no doubt choose the mobile version. This particular landline phones attempts to disguise itself as a pack of Camel Filters.
The $49 touchtone landline phone doesn’t even allow the luxury of actually holding cigarettes, but it could be a good way to hide the fact that you even use a landline anymore. For extra fun, count how many subliminal penises you can find. — Andrew Dobrow
If you’re a smoker, you know that smoking outside in the winter is a very unpleasant experience. If you smoke gloveless, your hands feel like they are freezing over. If you smoke with gloves, your hands are warm, but holding the cigarette becomes an obstacle. These Smoking Mittens make polluting your lungs an easier experience.
Where I live, smoking is banned indoors unless you’re in a privately owned home. Which means lots of outside exposure to the elements. The Smoking Mittens add a small hole on one of the gloves that allows you to hold your cigarette easily without having to risk limb hypothermia. — Andrew Dobrow
No doubt about it. Smoking is a harmful, and more importantly, expensive habit. This Atomizing Electronic Cigarette at least makes it less harmful to those around you. The cigarette contains no tar or other polluting substance and you don’t even need to ignite it.
The emitted “smoke” is an atomized mist from a tobacco alkaloid; meaning it produces no harmful second-hand smoke. The smokers’ addiction is covered with highly purified medical grade tobacco alkaloid and the normal dose of nicotine. No word on how it mixes with other smoker electronics. Available now for $374. — Andrew Dobrow
Our girlfriends and mothers nag us enough. “What are you doing to yourself? You should see how your lungs look!” And now our cellphones could be joining the nagging bandwagon. FixNixer is a phone app which is designed to aid smokers to break the habit. Though we don’t know how much good it will do if you have a phone like this.
FixNixer requires you to fill out an online questionnaire about your smoking habits. When time rolls around for your usual smoke break, FixNixer will send you such inspirational SMS messages as “Admit it. Being bored is a terrible excuse to use tobacco. Do you ever say ‘I’m bored. I think I’ll go expose myself to radiation’? No. Didn’t think so”. Don’t think even nagging messages would stop me. — Andrew Dobrow
