10 Great Ashtrays That Double as Art

If you're anything like me, chances are you've been smoking something or other a whole lot more lately. Cooped up in my apartment all day (now sans feebly-protesting roommate!) I've started smoking inside with impunity, careful to remain socially distant from the ever-vigilant smoke detector lurking in the corner of my living room.

It goes without saying that smoking anything at all is pretty terrible for your health in the long term, but for now the short term benefits of sucking down a few—mostly to relieve the everyday stresses of living through and with a goddamn pandemic and a police state intent on letting the world burn—really can't be beat for sheer nihilistic pleasure.

It was a few weeks into ashing all over myself and generally making a huge mess that I realized I needed a proper ashtray. And sure, the truth is almost any concaved shape can be used as an ash-catching receptacle. But if you're a real aficionado, and want the added benefit of outfitting your designated smoking space with a small piece of functional art, an ashtray is the way to go. So while tracking down the perfect option for myself I took the liberty of rounding up some of the swankiest ones available now, so you, too, can smoke up in style. It's lit!
