In this article Magnus Wurzer is introducing Bic-o-Mat, which is a smoking robot, made by Adrian Dabrowski.

Bic-o-Mat:
"This time I'll pick an off-category, not a mixing robot, but one robot that goes into category four: "The smoking culture and lighting cigars and cigarettes stuff". The Bic-o-Mat by Adrian Dabrowski. He built a robot that not only lights cigarettes but also smokes them, and it was very efficient about it. It could finish the cigaret like in two minutes and did that with a little vacuum installed. It was very small but beautiful. It was built with classic tinkering metal sheets stuff, so it also added some bonus points by being a very successful cigarette bum. People were really happy to offer the robot cigarettes when it was out, happier than I ever saw them being about giving a human cigarette bum a cigarette. So that's a plus".
