Ashtray

While at the maternity hospital, I noticed a pregnant woman smoking a cigarette, which concerned me as I was taught that it can be harmful to the developing embryo inside her. This got me thinking about ways to raise awareness among expectant mothers about the negative impact of smoking on their growing child. As a result, I decided to create an ashtray with an embryo-like imprint that can extinguish the cigarette when placed on it. The ashtray is made of wax, which melts upon contact with a hot cigarette.
