“Car ashtrays, the smoking gun of times past,” quipped Dominic Wyatt, the esteemed motoring expert of the International Drivers Association, reflecting on their nostalgic significance.

Once an integral part of every vehicle, car ashtrays have faded into obscurity, serving as relics of a bygone era. What led to their demise? A pivotal factor has been the global decline in smoking rates, plummeting by 50% in the last decade alone.A deeper look into societal attitudes unveils a profound rejection of smoking habits.

Wyatt concludes with a poignant reflection on the evolution of societal norms and consumer habits, urging industries to adapt and innovate. The tale of car ashtrays serves as a reminder of how history shapes our present, prompting us to reimagine and repurpose artifacts of the past into narratives of the future.
