  • the colored smoke producing element for such devices may take the form, for example, of powder, drops, tablets, or capsules.
  • the overall construction would be in many respects similar to that of a filterless cigarette described in the preceding paragraph. Other smoking devices would have different constructions.
  • one embodiment of the present invention utilizes a pipe having an inhalation portion including a mouthpiece and a combustion portion including a bowl into which tobacco is placed.
  • the inhalation portion and combustion portion are operatively joined by a tube interposed between the mouthpiece and bowl.
  • the operatively joined inhalation portion and combustion portion may be directly connected, or may instead have additional components located between them.
  • Additional embodiments of the present invention include a smoking device including a colored smoke producing element that adds color to smoke that passes by the colored smoke producing element, instead of requiring the colored smoke producing element to be burned.
  • the smoke exuding from the burning end of the smoking device is not colored, but smoke exhaled by the smoker is.
  • smoke being drawn through the inhalation portion of a smoking device has color added to it before it is inhaled by a smoker.
  • one embodiment includes a colored smoke producing element adapted to be incorporated into the filter of a cigarette. As smoke is drawn through the filter the smoke becomes colored.
  • a colored smoke producing element is interposed between the combustion portion and inhalation portion of a cigarette.
  • the smoke is first drawn through the colored smoke producing element and then through the filter.
  • the color of the smoke can be used for communication or identification purposes.
  • the color of the smoke can correspond to the brand of cigarette, or correspond to another quality of the cigarette.
  • Figure 4 is a table illustrating the correspondence between the color of smoke produced by a cigarette and a characteristic of a cigarette for an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the characteristic of the cigarette is its brand.
  • the color A of smoke produced corresponds to a brand AA of a cigarette
  • the color B of smoke produced corresponds to a brand BB of a cigarette, and so on.
  • the color of the smoke may also be coordinated with the color of the cigarette packaging for further brand identification.
  • the color A could be red for a brand AA that has red packaging
  • the color B could be blue for a brand BB that has blue packaging, and so on.
  • the color of the smoke may also be coordinated with the color of the cigarette packaging for further brand identification.
  • the color of the smoke may identify another quality of the cigarette, such as the size and/or the flavor. For instance, a smoke color may be used to differentiate a manufacturer's menthol cigarette from other cigarettes.
  • the color of the smoke may correspond to a chemical property of cigarette, such as nicotine and/or tar level.
  • different colors of smoke could be used for varieties such as regular, light, and ultra-light cigarettes.
  • the presence of colored smoke may exist only for a portion of the combustion portion 30, or the intensity of the smoke color produced may vary along the length of the combustion portion 30.
  • This variance could be used to signify something about an individual cigarette - such as whether it has just been lighted, or whether it is close to going out. For example, the presence of color may exist only when the cigarette 10 is close to burning out, or the color of smoke may intensify when the combustion portion 30 is close to being entirely consumed.
  • the color of the smoke may also correspond to characteristics of individual smokers or groups of smokers. This can make it easier to identify social characteristics of others in a group setting. As one example, the color of smoke may be used to identify whether one is married or single.
  • the color of smoke could also correspond to whether one is open to meeting someone new at a given time, or if one would prefer not to meet someone new. This can reduce any unwelcome advances and alleviate any awkwardness caused by such circumstances. Color of smoke could also be used to indicate one's sexual orientation. Further possible alternatives include the color of smoke corresponding to one's age, or to one's profession. In another embodiment, the color of the smoke corresponds to one's residency, with different colors of smoke denoting different areas of citizenship, either by country or part of country, by state, by city, or by other geographic and/or governmental unit. Further possible alternatives include cigarettes with smoke colors associated with religious affiliation, or with ethnicity or cultural background.
  • the characteristic of the smoker that the smoke color corresponds to may be an athletic team that the smoker supports. For instance, if a team wears green uniforms, or has an official color of green, cigarettes that give off green smoke could be used by smokers who were fans of the team. Similarly, the cigarette smoke could correspond to a specific university or college, or a team that plays for a university or college.
  • Figure 5 is a table providing an example of an embodiment of the present invention wherein the color of smoke produced by a cigarette corresponds to a characteristic of a smoker. For the embodiment of Fig. 5, the characteristic of the smoker is an athletic team the smoker supports.
  • the color A of smoke produced corresponds to a team AA
  • the color B of smoke produced corresponds to a team BB
  • the color of the smoke may also be coordinated with the color of the team's uniforms.
  • the color A could be red for a team AA that has red uniforms
  • the color B could be blue for a team BB that has blue uniforms, and so on.
  • Another example of characteristic of smoker that the color of smoke could correspond to is political affiliation. For example, in the United States, blue has come to be associated with the Democratic Party, and red has come to be associated with the Republican Party. During a political campaign, cigarettes giving off red smoke could be used to identify smokers who were Republicans, while cigarettes giving off blue smoke could be used to identify smokers who were colleges.
  • the color of smoke may also correspond to or be related to a social or other external event.
  • the event may be a political event, for instance, such as a political convention, or an election.
  • the color of smoke could relate to a specific sporting event, such as a championship game.
  • the color of smoke could relate to a specific holiday, such as red and blue for Independence Day, or green for St. Patrick's Day.
  • Figure 6 is a table providing an example of an embodiment of the present invention wherein the color of smoke produced by a cigarette corresponds to an event.
  • the event is a holiday.
  • the color A of smoke produced corresponds to a holiday AA
  • the color B of smoke produced corresponds to a holiday BB 1 and so on.
  • the color of the smoke may also be coordinated with a color associated with the holiday.
  • the color A could be green for holiday AA of St. Patrick's Day
  • the color B could be orange for holiday BB that was Halloween, and so on.
  • multiple colors could correspond to a single holiday, such as orange and black for Halloween, or red and blue for Independence Day, for example.
  • the smoke color is communicatively significant.
  • the smoke color communicates something about the smoker, the cigarette, or both, to others.
  • One or more colors could be used to correspond to a quality, characteristic, or event.
  • the relationship between the smoke color and that which it corresponds to may be based on an association previously established outside of the context of cigarette smoke (such as green smoke corresponding to a sports team with green uniforms), or may not be (such as a color assigned to represent marital status, or, as another example, using a color other than the uniform color to correspond to a sports team).
  • smoke color may correspond to characteristics of smokers and to an event (such as during international sporting events like the Olympics or World Cup soccer, smoke color could correspond to characteristics of smokers such as country of citizenship as well a team they root for, and also correspond to the sporting event or tournament).
  • smoke color could correspond to characteristics of smokers such as country of citizenship as well a team they root for, and also correspond to the sporting event or tournament.
  • many colors of smoke may be used as part of a system where each color corresponds to a different characteristic or event in some embodiments of the present invention, whereas only one color of smoke may be provided in other embodiments.
  • the use of colored smoke can serve as an ice-breaker during a social situation, either by someone identifying the smoke color as indicating a potential topic of conversation; or by encouraging a question from someone who wants to know what that particular color signifies. It may also serve other purposes, for example, by identifying smokers of the same brand to each other, or identifying people with similar interests to each other, or identifying when a cigarette is about to burn out.
