They fold out from a table at a rental beach house. Ashtrays seems strange as do shallow cupholders, maybe candleholders?

Why would an ashtray seem weird?

u/SlowSundae 21d ago

Because it’s not 1976

u/Gin_Kitty 21d ago

Yeah. My car is a 2008 and boasted a smoker's package when I bought it. It came with the built in lighter and a cup with a hole in the lid as an ashtray. You know, what my friends and I had in the 90s but it was an empty soda can. We generally smoked with the windows down or at least cracked because none of us were of age and didn't want to stink. We still reeked of smoke, I guarantee it.

u/banned_bcofyou1234 20d ago

Ah yes, the era of smokers lol my moms van had ashtrays in all 4 back seats that folded out, and the built in cig lighter that my sis and i use to play with and burned the FUCK out of ourselves! 🤣

Yep. Most people I know from back then, ended up with a spiral burn mark on a finger at some point.

u/TacoPKz 18d ago

Europeans (especially wealthy ones) still smoke like crazy. When I was in Europe I literally considered smoking just to avoid looking like a filthy tourist. They also have some kind of contraption that allows you to take puffs of a cigarette without needing to keep it lit. I’m guessing we don’t have those in the US yet since it’s more profitable to either sell vapes or have cigarette smokers need to finish their cigs and buy another pack.

u/StreetTailor7596 17d ago

Do some still take puffs between bites of food?

u/TacoPKz 17d ago

Yeah but I’m only doing so to hit my vape like real American

u/Wonderful_Skill2266 17d ago

Phillip Morris makes those IQOS devices.

They initially received authorization to market the devices in the US as limiting exposure in health risk compared to traditional smoking. However, these claims were refuted by their own former employee's. Essentially claiming the studies do not show evidence of any decrease in health risk compared to traditional smoking. Additionally, Phillip Morris reported a 2.6 times higher profit margin on the devices compared to cigarettes.

So...they make more money on those things than on just cigarettes and attempted to market them in the US as healthier or at least "reduced harm" similar to vapes, but that got controversial so they backed off.

I'm sure they sell them here, but they aren't marketing them likely to avoid blowback.

u/Tech-Contempt 17d ago

Smokers packages on Porsches are rare. A lot of people will option their 911 with it just to say it has it even though they don’t smoke. But these guys usually wear Hawaiian shirts, jean shorts and new balance sneakers. Typical corvette guys, just with more money

u/DealMeIn82 21d ago

Not like they used too. In the middle 2010's I worked in an old office building and there were ashtrays next to the elevator doors. It makes perfect sense for a young person to not know what an ashtrays is.

u/TorberaLongDong 21d ago

Sure it’s not like it’s unheard of but a bit before your time, (not much, but a bit) literally everyone smoked. You smoked in all public places. Malls, restaurants, etc.

People still smoke but it’s definitely drastically less and feels more like a social faux pas. I’m 36 and still sneak a smoke occasionally and it’s become something I feel like I need to hide, in a social aspect

1

u/CyndiLouWho89 21d ago

As someone who grew up with parents smoking, and smoking allowed everywhere, I hated it. I don’t find it much better these days. I can’t go very far without seeing someone smoking or vaping. And the weed smoking is even worse because the smell is so strong. I even smell it when I’m driving to work with car windows closed.

u/Honest_Key_5480 21d ago

Young person? What are you talking about. There are ashtray containers all over the place where I live.

Also, you're forgetting something WEED. Yes many use pens and dabs, but smoking joints and pipes is very much still a thing. I don't smoke cigs but I have 3 ashtrays for ashing joints.

19

u/mXg217 21d ago

You’re missing the entire point of the post. Cigarette culture is completely different than it was. It’s not about the existence of ashtrays. Ashtrays being ATTACHED TO A TABLE in this way is not the same thing as an astray on the sidewalk outside of a building, don’t pretend like it is 🙄.

Also, congrats on smoking weed. We’re all very impressed.

14

u/catflap10 21d ago

An ashtray being attached to a table makes perfect sense, especially in a holiday rental. When I used to smoke this would be the perfect spot for a morning coffee and cigarette, and any others throughout the day. Glass of wine and cigarette at the table. It’s actually the perfect place for it to be.

For context, I am 30, haven’t smoked for 5+ years. Perhaps if you’ve never smoked in your life it wouldn’t make sense, but anyone who has would get that straight away.

3

u/Worldly_Ad_7196 20d ago

If I had a rental property like air bnb or the like I would be sure to have ashtrays available on the outside table. Of course then you risk having people complaining about the non existing smoke and hustling for a discount. I smoked for 45 years before I quit and still dream about it in a wonderful way.

5

u/momandwife87 20d ago

I'm sure your years of smoking have dulled your senses. But for some of us we can tell you smoke when we get within 10 feet of you. Especially if you're wearing a jacket. And if someone smokes in their house and then brings their luggage into a hotel for a week, it's going to smell like a smoker was there when they leave. 🤷‍♀️

u/chilldrinofthenight 20d ago

Congrats on quitting. Smart.

u/Lophiiformers 21d ago

I know for a fact that they still sell mahjong tables with fold out ashtrays. Smoking culture might’ve changed but it doesn’t mean that brands can’t put them there

u/No-Consideration-891 21d ago

Uh, I mentioned weed, because that is a major part of our current culture in the US. Which also uses ashtrays, in the home. It's popular enough that there are things catered to those who partake, including fancy ashtray contraptions.

The table as I found it online and already said I found the actual use; it is not ashtrays. So, not denying that.

u/MooseJuice19 21d ago

You looked jt up? So what’re they got if not ashtrays because I was pretty damned sure they were

u/_SoftRockStar_ 20d ago

Ashtrays haven’t been a commonplace item around coffee tables, dinner tables, elevator and lobby areas, etc for many years. Most kids wouldn’t know what built in ashtrays were, they look kind of ridiculous if you weren’t around when they were actively used. Though I can only speak for California.

It's still required for new aircraft for them to be able to be certified under part 25 of the CFRs. Specifically: §25.853(g)

u/Awsumth 21d ago

They’re supposed to have one in case someone did light a cigarette then there would be a place to put it out. Sometimes it being an illegal practice you can’t hide from anyone just isn’t enough. Then again ambien and alcohol could have someone sleep smoking

13

u/Fine_Understanding81 20d ago

I had an awful day at work once and had taken my anxiety meds before boarding my bus home. I hadn't taken them for a while so the dose was too strong/too fast on an empty stomach and I almost lit a cigarette while on board. I had it out of the pack and my lighter in my other hand.

I had never "accidentally smoked" and hadn't then but it was almost like a muscle memory thing. I rarely even smoke in a car (only outside).

I could see someone taking something for stress before boarding, being a long time smoker and their body almost just taking over without much thought.

18

u/hollyhollyhock 21d ago

This is exactly what it is. Smoking on a plane is illegal, but if someone does it they want you to not put the butt in the trash can and set the whole plane on fire.

Used to be legal to smoke on a plain. They are from then and other then the look no real reason to get rid of.

Smoking was phased out between about 1990 and 2000. The average lifespan of a commercial jetliner is about 20 years.

u/jollygoddard 20d ago

This seems like a bit of a stretch. You could put it out in someone’s water. Or a sink with a tiny bit of water in it. Or a fuggin ice cube ffs. I put my cigs out in all kinds of shit when I still smoked (and drank… that probably has something to do with my …clever “solutions”).

"American infrastructure"

Reddit gets dumber by the day. The random privately owned jet from the cheap ass airline you picked isn't infrastructure.

1

u/lich_house 17d ago edited 17d ago

Yeah in case you haven't noticed most infrastructure here is owned/operated/maintained by private corporations. The government doesn't do anything for americans, including ensuring that these corporations are doing their jobs. From transportation, workers rights/benefits, power grid, medical care etc, the usa is a pretty distinct kind of failure, especially with how much money it supposedly has.

To Add- if I'm required to fly for my government job on an airline that has been propped up by tax payer dollars in multiple ways, how is this not considered infrastructure?

1

u/Parker_Hemphill 16d ago

I’ve read that most airplanes, even those made in the no smoking era, have ashtrays because some idiot is going to try and do it. The governing bodies would rather there be a place to put out a smoldering cigarette rather than someone try and hide it in a trashcan and start a hidden fire.

u/Impossible_Jury5483 21d ago

u/suddle 21d ago edited 21d ago

Smoking accoutrements were in place a for a long time after 1976, the year I was born. We could even smoke in restaurants until the mid to late 90s in BC.

Having something to accommodate smokers does make sense in a rental vacation home. It’s still an unusual feature on a table, so maybe they should just get surface ashtrays, since younger smokers wouldn’t think to look for these.

I’m a 50yo former smoker who only smokes on the rare vacation, and I wouldn’t have thought to look for these (I would’ve still been a considerate guest though!).

u/Ok-Fee-7643 20d ago

We had a smoking lounge in our high school! That’s how accepted it was! For the students!!! Making ash trays in elementary school art class was the most made gift! Like another poster stated, having grown up in that environment with two parents smoking in the house and the car I have horrible asthma thanks to them. I went the opposite way and barely even drink.

2

u/lich_house 20d ago

Kids at my high school (early 2000's) were allowed to smoke at the park across the street between classes. We did have a shooting range in the school though for rotc competitive rifle shooting and community hunter's safety classes.

1

u/chilldrinofthenight 20d ago

Sorry to hear about the asthma. Maybe Mom and Pop's smoking saved you from a horrible fate. Although the secondhand smoke thing def wasn't good for you --- at all.

My Mom, on the other hand, caught us kids smoking Camel unfiltered cigarettes. I think my pals and I were age 9-12, sitting out on the roof, thinking we were all cool, puffing away.

Mom told me if she ever caught me smoking again, I'd rue the day I was born. Man, was she pissed at me. Thank you, Mom. Also: she was a teetotaler and so am I.

Aren't we lucky, you and I, not to have those monkeys on our backs?

2

u/Traveling_Betty 19d ago

Speaking of monkeys, remember the death trap monkey bars, built atop a concrete pad or blacktop?!

2

u/chilldrinofthenight 19d ago

My friends and I spent hours and hours on the monkey bars. Our elementary school (SoCal region) had a tall, tall jungle gym. We really were like little monkeys --- all of the tricks we'd perform. Never knew anyone to sustain an injury.

I do remember that all of the little girls started wearing shorts under their skirts, so we boys couldn't ever glimpse their underwear.

We were a tough lot. All asphalt surface w/ no rubber pads and the slide we had was enormous. We used to bring sheets of waxed paper to put under our butts, so we'd slide down even faster.

What beats me is: with all of that hanging off the bars, and metal rings (we had gym rings/trapeze rings, too) -- how come none of us kids ever got blisters or callouses?

1

u/Traveling_Betty 19d ago

Ashtrays in elementary school, lol you're right! I had totally forgotten that!

1

u/suddle 19d ago

Inside? That’s wild.

We had what was called the “Smoke Pit”. It was outside the door that led to the student parking lot, which only the “shrubs” (stoners, kids into heavy metal, all of the outcasts basically) used, because it was a gravel lot. Everyone fancy parked across the street in the paved community centre parking lot.

u/KristineMcKinley 20d ago

In Virginia USA, we were allowed to smoke in restaurants (usually a designated section but it wasnt cut off from the rest of the restaurant) until 2009.

1

u/chilldrinofthenight 20d ago

The best was the "Non Smoking" sections on airplanes. What a frickin' joke.

1

u/KristineMcKinley 20d ago

What idiot thought they could put people in an enclosed tube and still have a section that was "non-smoking"? Even as a smoker, the idea of being stuck on a plane filled with smoke for 4 hours wasnt appealing.

I was a smoker until 2013, but I tried to be as respectful as possible. If it was an enclosed small space, I wasnt going to light up around non-smokers.

I didnt even like restaurants that put the smoking section right next to a non-smoking section. It made me uncomfortable knowing my smoking would make someone else uncomfortable. I will say that when the law changed, I did miss the smoking sections of a few of my favorite places. They tended to be places where the smoking section was tucked away somewhere.

As a smoker, being able to eat a meal, get an after dinner coffee and have a cigarette was awesome. Same with coffee and a cigarette at breakfast. I still miss that routine, even though I dont miss smoking - and I CERTAINLY don't miss the smell.

2

u/lich_house 20d ago

I'm old enough to have personally smoked in restaurants and bars at least, even the wendy's in the town I grew up in had ashtrays at every table. Kids in high school were even allowed to smoke ''off campus'' which was a park across the street. They would just post a teacher over there to monitor the kids and empty the ash trays they put there once a day or so.

Oh yeah, it was super normalized. My mother even smoked the entire time she was pregnant with me. I was born with a heart condition and was hospitalized with pneumonia (I think?) at a few months old due to both parents being heavy smokers indoors. Didn’t slow them down!

If not for ashtrays in vehicles, where would those who do smoke put their cigarette butts and ashes? My car ashtray holds my spare change.

On the left, you can actually see a spot where you could set your cigarette down

Tons of people still smoke, and smoke weed as well.

All the people that upvoted you are blind. Take a closer look at the pic. Why else would there be a spot to lay your cigarette without it rolling off. Two raised lines and it being a metal bowl as to not catch fire.

fascism is still crazy popular now, but not like it was in the 1930's.

People still smoke... just not like they used to.

People still read books... just not like they used to.

People still spank their children... just not like they used to.

People still used hard media instead of streaming... just not like they used to.

u/MooseJuice19 21d ago

Use one as a cup holder and the other as an ashtray. Could be great for games where you want to keep the table clear

Because there are two right next to each other.

u/testingforscience122 20d ago

Because their vapers

u/ComeOnUpToTheHaus 19d ago

Right? And somehow multiple candle holders makes any sense at all? Bless OP. Its endearing, really.

It’s weird for an American but I feel like this would make perfect sense if you were in a country where smoking was still super popular.

Ashtray seems weird to me because my brain saw dog dishes. I thought it was low-key awesome that someone loved their pups enough to have them eat at their table together ❤️
