It’s not a pleasant feeling for a non-smoker to be in a smoker’s car. Sometimes it’s too cold to open the windows, and smoke still gets inside even with the windows open. Keep this up for a while and you’ll have a pretty foul-smelling vehicle.

It probably can’t clean the air if you chain-smoke in your car for 4 hours a day, but the Solar Car Air Purifier might be that extra something to make your car a more enjoyable place. Since most of us are forced to spend a long time stuck in traffic or commuting, we should try to make that space as comfortable as possible. This purifier can be powered either by solar energy (at least that sun that blinds you on the way to work can be useful for something) or through the cigarette plug. It even comes with its own adhesive tape! (wow.)

This seems to be another of the “look, solar powered, we’re soo green!” variety of pretty-much junk items, but at least it does something useful. Taxi drivers should be forced to get them, all the cabs I get into stink of cigarettes.
