Smoke in a Can is a credit crunch way to create smoke effects without the expensive and heavy equipment used in clubs or other venues.

You can use Smoke in a Can at any type of event to recreate the [dry ice effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serena-antigravity-humidifier) -- it's even better with disco lights.

Each can will give you five minutes of [moving smoke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-smokeless-fire-pit) that will hang in any still room for up to two hours. Bonus: it won't set off your [smoke alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klaro-30-caliber-smoke-can-humidor).
