This months winning review:

The Coughing Ashtray, as seen here.

This is simply brilliant! A friend of mine is a heavy smoker, and also coughs a lot because of it. Last time he came round to my house I made sure this ashtray was on the table in front of TV, and when he ashed his cigarette, and the coughing sound was made, it almost gave him a heart attack! The look on his face was priceless, and all for less than £7. Thanks!! I think it is also a really good way to make people give up.....
