OK, I am an older type individual who still has the horrible
habit of smoking. Not withstanding the pros and cons of that
habit, what are similar folks using as an ashtray for the newer
Toyota vehicles, specifically a 2008 Avalon, that don't have an
ashtray? Using a soup can or a tuna can with some water in it in
one of the cup holders does not seem to be a particularly elegant
solution. I know that this is supposedly a Camry group, but the
generic Toyota group does not appear to one that has any
meaningful Toyota discussion. But we also have a Camry.

There are ashtrays one can purchase that fit in your cupholder. They
come with a lid also.

At least you plan on USING an ash tray. I see a.sholes every day using their
open window for an ash tray.

Or, you could limit your smoking to outdoors only, in other words, not
anywhere you're inside windows....this will include your car. I have an
'03 Avalon and the ashtray is as pristine as the day we bought it. Anyway,
having a smoke while you stretch your legs during a driving break can be a
good thing too. You can't smoke on a plane, so why do you feel it
necessary to smoke in a car? (oh yeah, and it stinks up the car too.)

I doubt that Toyota would be able to sell a car without an ashtray in
the Asian market, that is, if my understanding that the people there
love that nasty habit is true. I don't believe I have ever seen a car
without an AT. Can this be the first mass produced car in history to
have this traditional necessity removed? Anyway, I think it a nasty
habit but you should be pissed that Toyota has such a low regard for
your embattled group. :-(

In the US more and more cars are becoming smoke-free, with ashtrays as
an option ($$$).

It turns out that the optional cup holder ashtray for the Avalon
is the same one as for the Camry. Cost is about $17-19,
depending upon the dealer.

Meaning that in all likelihood, you could buy the same thing (or something
that will fill the bill just as well), for about $3.95 at Kragen or
AutoZone.
