Good day, my name is Pierpaolo Cortesi, I am 46 years old and Italian. I Worked for 20 years as a Commercial Manager for multinational company with the sole purpose of making profit. But since I became the father of a beautiful little girl (now 6 years old) maybe something has changed in my head and I've changed.  I wanted to improve the quality of people's lives and increase respect for the environment. So being a (moderate) smoker I tried to find a solution for the 10 BILLION cigarette butts littering in the environment every day. In fact in addition to the risk of fire (newest example 02/21/2015 Torch Tower in Dubai), I well understand the serious environmental damage caused by these cigarette butts, declared by many International scientific research to be highly polluting, toxic and carcinogenic. Important enough to be considered "the  main urban waste in the world "!!!

After several studies, tests and research results, I designed the first portable multifunction pocket, that would make it easier to avoid having to throw the butts into the environment. It  is named SMOOKEY with the functions of Lighting / Putting Out cigarettes (in 5") and hermetically containing butts ( Maximum 6 )  in complete safety, until the smoker finds a suitable place to dispose of them !

Pending disposal of cigarette butts, Smookey can then be kept inside the pockets of pants and jackets or bags lady, safely and total absence of unpleasant smells !!!

Because the solution of the big problem is to make it simple and fast for every smoker to manage their toxic waste (butts), in any place and moment but "immediately" and safely when they want to or have to putt out their cigarettes !!!  

Indeed, certainly the solution to the problem, is not to install an "endless number of special containers in all public places" (with obvious huge installation costs, operators for recovery and disposal, etc...), but rather using the existing bins and containers combined with the use of SMOOKEY or other accessories pocket !!!

This image below could be the result  of the environment with or without SMOOKEY.

If you are a civil and polite smoker or even a non smoker but tired of seeing this mess everywhere in the environment, "with total and absolute indifference of those directly and primarily responsible for the problem that are the Producers and Distributors of cigarettes and in the same way almost all National and International Institutions around the world, we kindly ask you :

- Help us with a small contribution to achieve the necessary funds for the realization of a mold injection plastics to 6/8 figures, in order to optimize and reduce the current  cost of production,  to make "SMOOKEY" really cheap and accessible to all and make this simple and possible innovation public knowledge !!!!!

 - If you can not in any way contribute to this project of social benefit and protection of the environment around us, thanks anyway if you help us to spread to the world the existence of "SMOOKEY" and then make it public knowledge, as a possible solution to the serious problem universally shared, in order to improve the environment for all of us and in particular for our children !!!

 The links and images below document the size of the problem and the environmental impact !!!

However a few videos (hundreds available on Internet) about environmental problem !!!

Indeed, awareness of the problem is increasing and many Countries have already established new laws and penalties for offenders, such as Singapore, USA, Australia, Japan, UK, France and others including Italy from July 2015, but this not enough !

If you really want to change all this environmental disaster .................... the solution easy, fast and safe now there is and its called SMOOKEY  !!!

This (picture below) is in fact what is now ESSENTIAL for a smoker to have with himself for  "smoking comfortably respecting the environment".

* That is, the package of cigarettes and lighter contained within SMOOKEY  !!!!!

 .... then disposal  

The image below is an example of containment capacity of Smookey  :

> open and empty  > then opened with max. 6 butts inside (2 crushed in the larger chamber)  > finally with lid closed tightly all content !!! 

* In addition, the chamber shutdown larger can be used for ashes of cigarettes or chewing-gums.

Look at some examples of Smookey, in graphic (both sides) available in assorted colors, because it's not only useful but also " DESIGN & FASHION" :

We are only a small company with a great idea and a project to which "we devote all our energy day by day" to improve the quality of life people and the environment.

- Moreover, it appears unbeliveble that "NO ONE" between Media, National and International Institutions, Manufacturers and Distributors of Tobacco sector, etc... communicate or publish "at least the existence" of this simple and possible solution to a problem so serious shared around the world !!!! 

With greater force so if you feel this project worthy and deserving .......

Risks and challenges :

The risks are in eve thing we do, but we have worked hard to avoid them.

Here are some of the key areas we've covered :

DESIGN :  The design has been conceived in order to obtain a product "all in one" easy to use, pocket-size and multi function, minimizing the costs of production.

PRODUCTION :  The production is conducted by a local manufacturer with proven experience. This means that we are in place for checks on production and quality control. We have worked hard to optimize our project with of course my 2 Partners Santo and Salvatore, the Designer Nicola and toolmaker Drusiani, before production.  *In any case, with obtaining the necessary funds, it will be possible the realization of a new mold to multiple figures with further improvements technical-functional and strong reduction in the current cost of production.

SUPPLY CHAIN :  Smookey is designed to remove complexity and optimize the production process.  As a result we haven't need assembly, multiple suppliers, offshore manufacture, etc....

DISTRIBUTION :  Often the best ideas/products/projects fall precisely because of the difficulty of distribution. The current difficult global economic situation makes it even more difficult initiatives to promote and push radically innovative products and therefore "not known and obviously not distributed". In response to this big problem then,  if  SMOOKEY is somehow known,  understood and like getting, it can be sold as  slight  (only 24gr.) and small (only 8x5x1,5 cm), and sent in small quantities around the world, in a normal envelope, minimizing the cost of packing, shipping and distribution.

FAQ :

- Smookey has a slot for insertion of a Lighter  BIC Mini J25  (the  most commercialized in the world) or other compatible size.

- The same Lighter can be easily extracted and replaced when finished gas.

- The only clarification, if the smoker has crushed too the filter during use of the cigarette, before insertion into the camber off slightly re-round the filter/Butt to maximize ease the fall of butts during disposal.

- For any further details, questions or requests, please send an email to :
