Abstract
A holder system for providing fire-safety of a cigarette being smoked and automatic extinguishment of it after a predetermined time includes a perforate tube with a spaced succession of internal rings that fit closely around a burning cigarette; in the absence of a puff on the cigarette within a predetermined time the burning end of the cigarette is extinguished as it reaches the nearest internal ring; the holder opens to receive a cigarette between identical halves separated along a longitudinal plane; an end cap and stud-in-hole structures provide for detachably securing the halves together.
