Abstract: A device for helping a cigarette smoker to reduce his daily cigarette consumption. An elongated container has a main body at least as long as a cigarette. The body holds an interiorly threaded cylinder and has an upper end that is exteriorly threaded. A container cap has threads engageable with the body's exterior threads. There is a serrated cup and ash holder inside the container engaging the interior threads, and a knob is provided for rotating the cylinder to cause them to go up and down in the container, depending on the direction of rotation. The main body preferably has a clip on its exterior. The device may have a lighter in an upper portion of the cap.
