Abstract

A user engageable device disposed within the tobacco burning path of a smoking article's ember at a pre-selected point. The device may include a visual and/or audible and/or olfactory warning component which alerts the user in response to a proximate ember that the ember has reached a predetermined point. The device is preferably in the form of a translatable sleeve frictionally engageable around the smoking article, but can also may be engaged upon or impregnated into a wrapper of the article's cylinder. Alternatively, the sleeve type device may be disposed within the wrapper or provided in the form of selectively placed integrated or stick-on patches.
