If you wish to see a little more of your favorite celebrity than what the silver screen shows you then pop into Bobby Boggs' place with some cash and watch him change your idols to perfection. All he needs is an assortment of some brilliant image editing tools like Adobe Photoshop and Maya and he can change Einstein into a cuddled up rag picker or Tom Cruise into a downtown 'homie'. I wonder how he will go about with a few of our stars needing boob-jobs, nose-jobs or other artificial enhancements. Or maybe he just modifies images for the good.

Smokers! Here's something that is worth heralding. It's a cigarette that's rechargeable and free of all the carcinogenic substances that the usual ones have. There are no complains of passive smoking from those around you as well with the use of these. Purchasing this can keep you healthier that what you would have been had you continued with the usual cigarettes. It comes with two rechargeable batteries (that's a huge cut on your smoking expenditure) and is fuelled with 5 high strength cartridges, each with 16 mg of nicotine in them.

Everyone wants to look meaner than they usually are. This is the case, especially with guys. I wonder if it has anything to do with our ancestors being apes who fought for territory and ended up picking a dominant male who controlled all the female apes. Well, here's a solution to a problem of dominance. It's actually a cup that displays the word "Pimp" in a very pimpish style. Besides holding 40oz of beverage, it can also greatly contribute to the number of stares you receive as you raise a toast with this cup in hand. Oh the magic of one silly word.

This is an amazing concept. It makes me feel proud to announce a cigarette lighter that has more than just some fire bellowing in its depth. In fact, at first glance, it would be really hard for you to even guess that this is something useful since it looks like a real prank toy. The lighters are shaped like toilets! The colors are pretty designer friendly too and apparently the flame seems to be coming out from the toilet seat. Well, this is what I call toilet humor at its best. What's next? A toilet shaped cup and saucer set? How swell would that be?

This can make a pretty good gift for your dad if he was a soldier during the First World War. It looks pretty much like the brilliant vintage artifacts that defined life in the early 1900s. The lighter has a well polished brass body and a great finish. The method of use is pretty interesting too and is shown in the video demonstration after the jump. It seems to be a replica of the lighter used by French troops during the war. Old daddy is sure to bless us for something like this. And hey, it doesn’t really cost too much. So you can get it in for a seminar on the war in college or something of the sort. Just make sure that lighters are allowed in there.

It so happens that No Smoking signboards tend to become the biggest enemies of most of us who are totally into the noble vice of nicotine consumption. Smoking ends up making us enemies of those who dread inhaling anything other than pure oxygen. So here’s something that will deliver the perfect (and sometimes stronger) kick that nicotine can shoot at you, and that too with a lower dosage of it. Say hello to the Next Safety Nicotine Inhaler. Thus the nicotine enters your bloodstream faster than smoking or chewing. According to a site, the Inhaler has ‘proprietary technology uses a stream of purified air to deliver medications deep into the pulmonary system’.

For all those suffering from the typical I-hate-smokers syndrome, here’s some respite. The USB ashtray is helpful for all of you who have friends popping over and littering your house with cigarette buds. It dutifully disposes the buds off without leaving much of a mess. And what’s more is that it reduces the nuisance of smoke for the passive smoker. The USB ashtray has an intake valve for smoke where you can place your cigarette after a drag. The valve transfers the smoke to a charcoal filter that delivers air which is far less toxic and almost pure. The filter can be powered with USB or even four AA batteries can be used to power it up.

Man has tried everything from twigs to flint stones to matchsticks to conjure a tiny flame. All that matters is that the flame be available for the given purpose of warmth, cooking or, in a more modern context, cigarette lighting. However, this approach of lighting a cigarette is very sophisticated and shows what the popular vice among those who spend their work hours staring at screens is. What initially appeared to be old rum sheepskin to me are actually USB cigarette lighters. The name says it all. Just connect this one to your USB port and get your smoke in contact with the tribal design on the body of the lighter.

For all the smart ones out there, here’s a great recluse to your rescue. If owning a book was ever a taboo in front of your pals who are nothing but a bunch of jobless fags who keep sniggering at the site of you reading your book. Now you can boldly march up to them holding a cigarette pack in your hand, ignoring all the teachings of the harmful effects of smoking that you ever learnt, open the pack and unleash the ridiculously reduced version of your favorite books. Don’t snarl at me since I didn’t make these, nor do I condemn them. In fact they seem pretty cool reputation boosters for most nerds. Its all up to you whether to love them or hate them.

I really liked this find. It’s basically a cigarette lighter but what’s amazing about it is that it is the exact same shape and size of a real cigarette, plus, the makers have put in a little effort to make it look like a real one. 12 grams isn’t much of a weight to carry. However, it can help you distinguish this one from your real cigarette. It is possible to refill the lighter with standard lighter fluid by using the valve in the base of the lighter. Surely, this is among those smoking toys that can leave your chums staring at what looked like a miracle before they realize their folly.

Welcome to the world of the eCigarette. And yes, if you have been guessing about the ‘e’ in the name, you’re pretty right. It does stand for electronic. Described as a small nicotine inhaler, the cigarette delivers ‘just about the right’ amount of smoke that’s least harmful to your lungs. To keep you from missing the little red glow at the other end of the cigarette in those smoke days, you have a little LED mounted of the end of this one to simulate the flame of vice. A good feature one can brag about in case of the eCigarette is that it is less harmful not only to smokers but also the passive smokers who are involuntarily pulled into the vicious smoke circle. It may sound weird; smoking safely, but at the same time isn’t any kind of smoke harmful?

The kinds of means that people have adopted to draw their vices from have often been subject to malice, disgust, beauty and wonder. From LED illuminated bottles to mermaids oozing out vodka from – (rather unsaid). Something similar makes up this cigarette providing machine called the Smoking Elephant Cigarette Dispenser. The cigarettes are pretty well received from the hind side of the elephant (may sound unhygienic, but the excreta is missing in this case so it’s pretty safe). One has to simply pull down the trunk of the elephant and you receive a new cigarette. Take it as a reward. The back of the elephant mounts an ashtray.

Cigarette smoke at home is not exactly pleasant. But we still keep ashtrays as we have a little bit of courtesy for our visitors. Bring home the Dog Poop ash Tray and I bet you visitor wouldn’t enter your house again with smoke all around him. It looks like real poop and someday out of anger; someone might just replace it with real poop.

There were times when a simple match would make our day, yes, in company of a Marlboro (of course). As times went by, people found innovative means of lighting their cigarettes. These means included bonfires, electric circuits, another lit cigarette, gas stoves, etc. There also came along the Zippos which are used to this day and are the primary means of lighting smokes these days. Here’s something to call back the ghosts of yesterday: a lighter in the shape of a matchstick. Pretty much oversized with dimensions of 1cm x 1cm x 18cm, this one cannot be mistaken for a real match. This lighter is slim enough, not to satisfy all your smoking needs for an entire month. Maybe a message to cut down your smoking is hidden somewhere in its flames.

This year for your New Year’s resolution, get yourself the Nicostopper to help you quit smoking. The Nicostopper, by Fagor, is an electronic cigarette case that regulates your tobacco consumption. It helps you gradually increase the time between each smoke, blocking your access to the cigarettes for a specified time frame. Holding 10 of your favorite ciggies, it flashes a self-help message every time you indulge in one.
