AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a cigarette holding apparatus that can minimize direct contact between the user and the cigarette during retrieving, smoking, and disposing of the cigarette. It is easy to use, simple in structure, and can be stored in a cigarette package for convenient storage and carrying.

Problems solved by technology

One problem for such a smoking method is that when the cigarette is ignited, residuals from the burning tobacco or other chemicals may be formed on the hands of the smokers so that the smokers may have undesirable smell on their hands.

Unfortunately, this tobacco smell is difficult to get rid of.

For some smokers, this may pose a problem for them either at home or in the workplace.

For example, those working as a chef may not want the tobacco smell of their hands to contaminate the foods they made.

However, conventional cigarette holders are generally unsatisfactory because the users may still need to touch the cigarette when they retrieve or dispose of it.
