# Pro-Smoking Designs 'Ash is Ok' Ashtray Flowerpot By Ayman | Published 2008-08-02 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ash-is-ok References: [greeceisforlovers](http://www.greeceisforlovers.com/products/ash-is-ok/gifl-ashisok-1.html) Trend Hunter has featured numerous [anti-smoking campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsmoke) and designs, so I decided to be inclusive and give smokers a break this time. Ultra hip designers **Greece is For Lovers** combine two favorite Greek pastimes, smoking and plant-keeping, in their unusual "Ash is Ok" design. *Ash is Ok* is a ceramic [ashtray-flowerpot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-4) that separates the [cigarette butts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shearling-style-hat) from ash. The ashes go down through the holes into the soil of the plant. The designers ensure you to, "Feel free, the plant can take it." I guess having an ashtray with a green plant is better than just having an ashtray, as the plant helps offset the pollution. I just hope you are not a heavy smoker, because I am not so confident that the plant can 'take' a pack a day.
