The Smoking Gun is 2.25” long and is made from [coated brass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brass-bubbler) in Gold, White, Black or Red colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Metaphorical Smoking Accessories:** Designing and marketing metaphorical smoking accessories as a statement or a conversation starter. - **Smoking as a Symbol of Rebellion:** Promoting smoking and smoking accessories as a symbol of rebellion and individuality. - **Controversial Marketing Tactics:** Using controversial marketing tactics to attract attention to smoking and smoking accessories. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion industry could promote smoking accessories as a statement piece or an add-on to their existing line. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment industry could capitalize on smoking accessories as stage props or to enhance character development. - **Advertising:** Advertising industry could use controversial marketing tactics to promote smoking and smoking accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Topographically Accented Smokeware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vessel-helix.md) - [Balloon Dog-Themed Smoking Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-dogthemed.md) - [Candle-Shaped One-Hitter Glass Pipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onehitter-glass-pipe.md) - [Patented Smoke-Cooling Pipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weedgets-mazex-pipe.md) - [Laser Technology Smoking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-technology-smoking-device.md) - [Animated Show-Inspired Butane Torches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butane-torch.md) - [Retro Ashtray Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-ashtray.md) - [Pink Portable Smoking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-smoking-device.md) - [One-Hitter Smoking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vessel-helix.md)
