A filtering pipe of housing with built in extinguisher for cigarettes, such that the lighted ash of the cigarette is extinguished, as it communicates with a non-flammable, extinguishing portion of the filter. The filter includes an elongated housing, having a filter at the mouthpiece end and a ring of non-flammable, extinguishing material at the cigarette supporting end. A cigarette to be smoked is pushed outwardly of the housing such that the extinguishing ring abuts that portion of the cigarette where the lighted ash is to be extinguished.
