Problems solved by technology

Traditional cigarettes and smoking pipes produce sidestream smoke during smoldering between puffs, which can irritate and annoy non-smokers that may be in the vicinity of a smoker.
Re-lighting is possible, however, this is usually an undesirable option to many smokers as the flavor, taste, and odor quality may be reduced after re-lighting a used cigarette or a bowl of tobacco in a smoking pipe.
Inasmuch as a supply of replenishing fuel is usually not available, the lighter becomes useless upon

Abstract

This invention generally relates to a smoking device that users a laser diode to light a smokable material that is stored within the smoking device. The smoking device is preferably a portable device that allows for insertion of a smokable material, and which ignites the smokable material using a battery-powered laser diode. The smoking device includes a coupling interface that requires all housing components to be secured prior to activation of the laser diode, thereby preventing the surrounding environment from exposure to laser beams and laser radiation.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTIONThis invention generally relates to systems and methods for providing a laser-based lighting system for smokable material, and more specifically, to a portable device for lighting and smoking tobacco products.DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ARTTraditional cigarettes are consumed by lighting an end of a tobacco-filled paper rod and drawing air predominately through the lit end of the rod by suction at a mouthpiece end of the cigarette. Furthermore, traditional smoking pipes are consumed by filling an open-air bowl with tobacco, and directly lighting the tobacco with a flame. Traditional cigarettes and smoking pipes produce sidestream smoke during smoldering between puffs, which can irritate and annoy non-smokers that may be in the vicinity of a smoker. Furthermore, once lit, traditional cigarettes and smoking pipes must be fully consumed or be discarded. Re-lighting is possible, however, this is usually an undesirable option to many smokers as the flavor, taste, and odor qua...
