For many smokers and first time burners, it is difficult to get into the habit of not throwing away your butts on the ground. Cigarette Butts are also considered MOOP. If you roll your own and use a paper filter, and wanna throw away the roach? That is also MOOP. To make sure you don’t have everyone around yelling at you, here are some tips for the smoker. You’ll want to make sure to bring:

Always Carry An Ashtray

As you walk around, make sure you have a portable ashtray in your pouch or bag. This lets you light one up wherever you are, and not have to worry about MOOPing. It’s also nice to hold out as a gift if you are a smoker in a group. It’s like a mini firepit for smokers. Here are some tips for Portable Ashtrays.

The Upcycle

Nothing beats an Old Altoid Box. These things are so handy for so many things at The Burn. More Altoid Hacks

Go For Tech Heat Resistant

These small pocket ashtrays have lasted me for many Burns. They are small and easy to pack, and extinguish any fires. Learn More

Go For Style

You can always go for a more SteamPunk Style or more refined look for your Ashtray. There are a lot of old style portables available, but they tend to fill up quickly with only a few smokes. See More

One thing you should take a bunch of is LIGHTERS. Whether you have to start a fire, light a smoke, or even do some flaming hand trick, you’re gonna need a lighter. Of course there are a lot of different lighters, but this one was quite handy. It’s come in handy in more than one way out on The Playa.

Some lighters come with handy tools like bottle openers, or even scissors. Grab It

At Burning Man when asking for a light, if they say, “No sorry I don’t smoke.” I just reply, “Would you like to start?” Bad joke, granted.
