Abstract:

A smoking apparatus that appears to be a conventional drink container with a suitable cover and mouthpiece is disclosed. A cigarette or the like is held within the conventional drink container so that a continuous passageway is formed from the cigarette or the like to the mouthpiece, allowing the cigarette or the like to be smoked while it is in the conventional drink container by puffing on the mouthpiece. Either a wall of the conventional drink container or the cover forms at least one ventilation hole. A receptacle inside the conventional drink container collects residue of the cigarette or the like. In one arrangement, the smoking apparatus appears to be a cold drink cup with a lid and straw sticking through the lid. The receptacle is made of a metallic foil, and the cigarette is held in a downward direction by a plumbing insert. A second plumbing insert goes through the hole in the lid with the lip of the insert resting on top of the lid, and holds the straw.
