A cigarette extinguisher is constructed to receive a lighted cigarette, hold the cigarette in an extinguishing chamber in which combustion cannot be supported, and subsequently discharge the extinguished cigarette and accompanying ashes into a receptacle. A pocketed carrier rotates within a cylindrical casing bore, the casing having an upper cigarette receiving opening and a lower discharge opening. An operating and ratcheting mechanism moves the carrier stepwise in one direction of rotation only, so that a deposited cigarette may not inadvertently be returned to the receiving opening. A double ended operating arm drives the ratcheting mechanism in the said one direction irrespective of which end of the operating arm is depressed by the user. The extinguisher is combined with a receiver for the reception and collection of extinguished cigarettes. Other embodiments incorporating a button type drive and a pedestal type ash tray are also disclosed.
