# Cigarette Earrings Butt Ugly Accessories By Howard Wu | Published 2008-05-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butt-ugly-cigarette-fashion-cigarette-earrings References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/) These unusual-looking duds can be found for sale at www.etsy.com, with a host of other handmade crafts in their online market. Of course they look ridiculous, but they do serve as a symbol of the potential ugly heath risks of smoking. They will probably never be a big hit in the fashion world, but for an anti-smoking campaign, they could become a tacky and effective prop. **Implications** - Still, I'm sure some hipsters wouldn't mind rocking these tobacco-inspired earrings. What better way to be alternative and express individuality than by accessories with a pair of rings everyone else finds utterly repulsive? These things are totally hipster-bait. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alternative Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity to create unique and unconventional fashion accessories that appeal to niche markets like hipsters. - **Healthawareness Campaign Props:** Potential to design unconventional props for anti-smoking campaigns that effectively convey the health risks of smoking. - **Handmade Crafts Online Market:** Growing demand for handmade, quirky crafts in online marketplaces like Etsy, presenting opportunities for artists and creators. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Innovative designers can capitalize on the trend of alternative fashion accessories to create unique and unconventional pieces. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunity for creative agencies to develop attention-grabbing and effective props for anti-smoking campaigns. - **Arts and Crafts:** Artists and creators can explore the demand for handmade, quirky crafts in online marketplaces like Etsy to showcase their unique creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Ashtray Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-ashtray.md) - [Opulent Smoking Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoking-accessories1.md) - [Earring Earbud Concept Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-yunxib.md) - [Stylish Jewelry-Inspired Earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jing-designer-earplugs.md) - [Smokable Art Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-by-edie-parker-1.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Pea-Inspired Whimsical Lighter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-lighter.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Rhinestone Earphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glam-earpods-holder.md) - [Fashion-Forward Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openear-earbud-concept.md)
