Non-polluting smoking device

Abstract

A non-polluting smoking device through which smoke is first inhaled and then exhaled, the device containing a filter or series of filters for filtering harmful toxins and unpleasant odors, thereby preventing same from being emitted into the air.

1 . A smoking device comprising:
 a bowl comprising a hollow interior for receiving smoking materials therein;   a stem connected to and extending from the bowl for engagement with the mouth of a smoker to support the bowl therefrom;   a first passageway extending from the hollow interior of the bowl through the stem to the distal end thereof;   means mounted in the first passageway for permitting smoke to pass from the hollow interior of the bowl through the first passageway and through the distal end of the stem into the mouth of a smoker while simultaneously preventing the flow of air from the distal end of the stem through the first passageway into the hollow interior of the bowl;   a second passageway extending from the distal end of the stem through the stem to an outlet located between the distal end of the stem and the bowl; and   means mounted in the second passageway for preventing the flow of air through the second passageway from the outlet to the distal end of the stem while permitting the flow of smoke through the second passageway from the distal end of the stem to the outlet.   
   
   
       2 . A smoking device of  claim 1  further comprising
 a conduit removably joined at an outlet of the stem between the distal end of the stem and the means founted in the first passageway for permitting for filtering out harmful toxins and unpleasant odors from the flow of air; and   a third passageway extending from an outlet of the stem through the conduit to the distal end thereof.   
   
   
       3 . A smoking device of  claim 2  further comprising at least one filter disposed within the third passageway for removing harmful toxins and unpleasant odors from the flow of air moving through the third passageway. 
   
   
       4 . A smoking device of  claim 3  wherein at least one filter is comprised of charcoal. 
   
   
       5 . A smoking device wherein at least one filter is comprised of deodorized cotton. 
   
   
       6 . A smoking device of  claim 3  further comprising a means for removing and replacing at least one filter located in the third passageway. 
   
   
       7 . A smoking device of  claim 1  further comprising at least one filter disposed in the second passageway for removing harmful toxins and unpleasant odors from the flow of air moving through the second passageway. 
   
   
       8 . A smoking device of  claim 7  wherein at least one filter is comprised of charcoal. 
   
   
       9 . A smoking device of  claim 7  wherein at least one filter is comprised of deodorized cotton. 
   
   
       10 . A smoking device of  claim 7  further comprising a means for removing and replacing at least one filter located in the second passageway. 
   
   
       11 . A smoking device comprising:
 a tube comprising a hollow interior for receiving smoking articles therein selected from the group consisting of cigarettes and cigars;   a stem connected to and extending from the tube for engagement with the mouth of a smoker to support the tube therefrom;   a first passageway extending from the hollow interior of the tube through the stem to the distal end thereof;   means mounted in the first passageway for permitting smoke to pass from the hollow interior of the tube through the first passageway and through the distal end of the stem into the mouth of a smoker while simultaneously preventing the flow of air from the distal end of the stem through the first passageway into the hollow interior of the tube;   a second passageway extending from the distal end of the stem through the stem to an outlet located between the distal end of the stem and the tube; and   means mounted in the second passageway for preventing the flow of air through the second passageway from the outlet to the distal end of the stem while permitting the flow of smoke through the second passageway from the distal end of the stem to the outlet.   
   
   
       12 . A smoking device of  claim 11  further comprising at least one filter disposed within the second passageway for removing harmful toxins and unpleasant odors from the flow of air moving through the second passageway. 
   
   
       13 . A smoking device of  claim 12  wherein at least one filter is comprised of charcoal. 
   
   
       14 . A smoking device of  claim 12  wherein at least one filter is comprised of deodorized cotton. 
   
   
       15 . A smoking device of  claim 12  further comprising a means for removing and replacing at least one filter located in the second passageway.
