Gone are the days when you could come home from work and expect your wife to have your slippers, smoking jacket and pipe ready for you as you lay back in your EZ-Boy. Nowadays if you light up in the wrong place you’re likely to get kicked out,arrested and labeled a communist. But that all may change. In the future tobacco might be hip again.

The Eolos pipe is ready for such a world, thanks to designer Hakan Bogazpinar. It has a sleek sophistication that says I Like My Nicotine Like I like My Gadgets, shiny and emitting smoke. It even has a built-in “filter replication indicator,” letting you know when the filter is ready for changing. Of course in the future humans will have self-cleaning lungs so just light up and enjoy my friends. And if wives still wont bring you your slippers, your robot will.
