It costs loads, it stinks up your clothes and it can kill you. Yes, smoking is very, very bad in so many different ways – can you tell that Brandish is now a reformed, self-righteous non-smoker? – but if you have to do it, at least use a stylish ashtray, rather than a mug or silver-foil Mr Kipling tray. This 8-ball model is something of a design classic, with its clever push-and-spin top, easily deployed to hide unsightly ash. BUY IT from Urban Outfitters, for just £8.
