What are the taboos for pouring water into an ashtray?
There are some taboos in pouring water into the ashtray, mainly because of some traditional ideas and superstitions that the ashtray is used to hold ash and cigarette butts. If you pour water into it, it may cause some unlucky things. Some people think that when pouring water into the ashtray, the water should not be too full. Because ashtrays are usually relatively small containers, if the water is poured too full, it may overflow, which is considered as an unlucky symbol.
When pouring water into the ashtray, you should pour cold water or ice water, not hot water or warm water. Because hot water or warm water may make the ash and cigarette butts in the ashtray produce some peculiar smell, thus affecting the indoor air quality. When pouring water, pour clean water, because the ash and cigarette butts in the ashtray may produce some odor and bacteria. If the poured water is not clean enough, it may aggravate indoor air pollution.
Disadvantages of pouring water into ashtray
After the ashtray is filled with water, it should be replaced with new water in time. Because the water in the ashtray will gradually become turbid and smelly, if it is not replaced in time, it will affect the indoor air quality. The ashtray is specially used to hold cigarette ash and cigarette butts. Don't put other things in it. Because doing so may make the ashtray lose its original function and pollute the indoor air.
It's best not to put water in the ashtray. In our daily life, we often see some old smokers pouring some water into the ashtray. Their practice is to prevent the ash layer from floating around, in order to better put cigarette butts. But this actually has a very bad influence on family feng shui and will destroy the family's wealth. So if you can quit smoking, try not to touch it. And if you can't control your addiction, you should be more careful in these details (the above contents are for reference only).
