An ashtray is a utensil intended to collect and store ashes and cigarette butts. Ashtrays come in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials and designs, and can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Ashtrays can be made of different materials, such as ceramic, glass, metal or plastic. Some ashtrays have a lid to reduce the smell of smoke, while other ashtrays have a built-in mechanism to snuff out and extinguish the cigarette.

In some countries and regions, there are regulations and laws that restrict the use of ashtrays, especially in public buildings, restaurants and other public areas. More and more people are also choosing to quit smoking, which is reducing the demand for ashtrays.
