Asecos' Smoke & Talk cabinet is bringing smokers and non-smokers together. The cabin features a 5-stage interchangeable filter system to capture and remove tobacco smoke in silence. The cabin is available different sizes, colors and materials which can be configured online.

Unlike in the U.S. where governmental laws are often installed to affect people's behavior, Germany is a country where certain habits are taken for granted and technology is used problem solver. The demonstration video gives the impression of an afterward unobtrusive observation of issues between smokers and non-smokers with a happy end where both parties come together in perfect harmony.

Smoke it or not, the smoking cabin seems to be an appropriate concept within Europe's smoking ban and is recognized with this year's iF product design award.
