Cigarette butt holding container

Abstract

A cigarette butt holding tube including a tube assembly, lid assembly, and a cigarette pack assembly is disclosed. These assemblies in conjunction with one another provide an easy-to-use cigarette butt disposal solution to help reduce littering. The cigarette pack assembly includes a spacing within the cigarette pack for a tube of the tube assembly to be received therein. The tube includes a tube opening at a top end that is larger than the width of a cigarette butt. The tube is selectively sealed by a lid of the lid assembly. Once a user is finished smoking a cigarette, the used cigarette butt can be conveniently disposed of and sealed within the tube. The tube being smell proof, fireproof, and fire resistant prevents the smell of smoke within the cigarette pack. The tube also prevents a still lit cigarette butt from setting fire to the remaining cigarettes.
