Lung-Shaped Ashtrays

Trend Watcher recently reported that AOK, a German health insurance company, has begun installing transparent, lung-shaped ashtrays in public places in various cities. Apparently AOK hopes to raise awareness of the dangers of smoking. It might help if they also showed how the lung is damaged by smoking - perhaps holes in the ashtray???

Umm, I think the whole point is that when you tip the black ashes into the tray, it makes it look like a cancerous lung. "Holes in the ashtray"? Think a little harder next time...
