And tobacco is the new gunpowder. The Tuyvo 7.62 is an ashtray with a social message. Designed like a 7.62 caliber bullet sleeve, the Tuyvo creates connections between the two deadly objects, in a way that encourages you to make the decision to quit smoking. The top of the ashtray even says Smoking Kills in designer Slava Balbek’s native language, Ukrainian.

Designer: Slava Balbek
