Lighters That Cough

Quirky Anti-Smoking Gadget

This innocuous, smart looking, chrome finished lighter is a fire-starter with a difference; Flick open the lid, and the lighter starts coughing!

This is a great gadget to carry around to let others use, giving them a not-so-subtle hint about the danger they are inflicting upon their health (and the health of others).

It's probably also a great idea for those smokers who are either wanting to, or trying to quit. Every time they light up a cigarette, they will be reminded of what they are getting themselves into.
