Smoking device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a forced-air smoking device, comprising: a hollow body, the hollow body operable to hold a smokable product, the hollow body comprising: a tip at one end and a forced-air input at an opposite end, and a holder disposed within the body, the holder adapted to hold an ignited smokable product, and a thumb hole, the thumb hole disposed between the forced-air input and the holder; and an air hose, the air hose coupled at a first end to the forced-air input and at a second end to a forced-air source, wherein, when the thumb hole is covered, the forced-air source forces air through the hose, into the body, over the smokable product and out the tip to produce a stream of smoke from the smokable product.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A forced-air smoking device, comprising:
 a hollow body, the hollow body operable to hold a smokable product, the hollow body comprising:
 a tip at one end and a forced-air input at an opposite end, and a holder disposed within the body, the holder adapted to hold an ignited smokable product, and a thumb hole, the thumb hole disposed between the forced-air input and the holder; and 
   an air hose, the air hose coupled at a first end to the forced-air input and at a second end to a forced-air source,   wherein, when the thumb hole is covered, the forced-air source forces air through the hose, into the body, over the smokable product and out the tip to produce a stream of smoke from the smokable product.   
     
     
         2 . The smoking device of  claim 1 , wherein the forced-air source is an air pump. 
     
     
         3 . The smoking device of  claim 1 , wherein the forced-air source is a user-actuated air bladder. 
     
     
         4 . The smoking device of  claim 1 , further comprising a transparent section in the hollow body, the transparent section permitting viewing of the holder from the exterior of the body. 
     
     
         5 . The smoking device of  claim 4 , further comprising a light source within the hollow body, the light source illuminating the hollow body when active. 
     
     
         6 . The smoking device of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow body is cylindrical in shape. The smoking device of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow body has a non-circular cross-section. 
     
     
         8 . The smoking device of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow body is asymmetrical. 
     
     
         9 . The smoking device of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of: the tip, the air input and the holder are removeable. 
     
     
         10 . A method of smoking a smokeable product via a forced-air smoking device, comprising:
 placing the smokeable product into a holder disposed within the smoking device;   igniting the smokeable product;   activating a forced-air source coupled to the smoking device;   covering a thumb hole in the smoking device such that forced-air from the forced-air input passes of the smokeable product to produce a stream of smoke from the smoking device which is inhalable by a user.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the forced-air source is an air pump. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the forced-air source is a user-actuated air bladder. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the smoking device further comprises a transparent section, the transparent section permitting viewing of the smokable product without opening the smoking device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising activating a light source within the smoking device to permit viewing through the transparent section. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising decoupling the forced-air source from the smoking device to permit removal and disposal of consumed smokeable product.
