Smoking ring for rolled cigarettes

Abstract

A finger ring has a crown and a hollow barrel fully enclosed by the crown. The barrel has a wider end and a narrower end, tapering uniformly from the wider end to the narrower end in the form of a cone. The barrel is appropriately sized to firmly hold a rolled cigarette when the rolled cigarette is inserted into the wider end of the barrel. The cigarette does not extend beyond the narrower end of the barrel. The narrower end of the barrel is used as a mouthpiece for smoking, thus avoiding mouth contact with the cigarette. The barrel may easily be cleaned with liquid soap or a cotton swab.
