  • the first container 2 comprises a first wall 21, a second wall 22, opposite to said first wall 21, a third wall 23 and a fourth wall 24, opposite to said third wall 21 ( Figure 4 ).
  • each wall 21,22,23,24 has a first end portion and a second end portion, opposite said first end portion.
  • a first opening 2A is defined by the first end portion of each wall.
  • Said first container 2 is dimensioned according to the size of the cigarettes packet holder 1 and can be coupled to said cigarettes packet holder 1 in a removable or not removable manner.
  • a second opening 2B to allow cigarettes butts contained in the first container 2 to exit from said first container 2 is defined by the second end portion of each wall.
  • Said first container 2 comprises a closure element 25 to close said second opening 2B.
  • closure element 25 is hinged to said first container 2 by means of a first hinge 27 provided with first elastic means 27A, configured to generate a torque such that said closure element 25 tends to rotate by a predetermined angle outwards with respect to said second opening 2B of said first container 2.
  • Said first elastic means 27A comprise a first spring and said first spring is preferably a torsional spring.
  • Said closure element 25 comprises a first part 251 and a second part 252, contiguous to said first part 251 and folding with respect to it.
  • said first part 251 has an end hinged with an end portion of said first wall 21 by means of the hinge 27 provided with said first elastic means 27A.
  • the closure element 25 moves from a closed position, where the cigarette butts are contained within said first container 2, to an open position, wherein said cigarette butts exit from first container 2 through said second opening 2B, and vice versa.
  • the closure element 25 when the closure element 25 is in the closed position, the first part 251 closes the second opening 2B of the first container 2 and the second part 252 swung so as to come in contact or substantially in contact with said second wall 22.
  • said second wall 22 has an inner surface 22A and an outer surface 22B, opposite to said inner surface 22A, and said second part 252 is in contact or substantially in contact with said outer surface 22B of said second wall 22.
  • the first container 2 is provided with a first hole 222 to insert a cigarette butt inside said first container 2.
  • said first hole 222 is arranged on said second wall 22.
  • said second part 252 is provided with a second hole 223 arranged in such a way that, when said closure element 25 is in the closed position, said first hole 222 is overlapped on said second hole 223.
  • a stopper (not shown) is inserted into said first hole 222 and said second hole 223 to maintain said closure element 25 in the closed position.
  • Said stopper is removed before inserting the first container 2 in the connecting element 3.
  • said first container 2 is provided with said first hole 222 for the insertion of cigarette butts, which is not necessarily arranged on said second wall 22.
  • said first container 2 and said cigarettes packet holder 1 are dimensioned so as to be portable, preferably in a pocket size format.
  • the connecting element 3 comprises a hollow body 30 to allow said first container 2 to be inserted in said connecting element and to slide inside the same.
  • Said connecting element 3 is dimensioned according to the size of the first container 2.
  • the connecting element 3 comprises a first wall 31, a second wall 32, opposite to said first wall 32, a third part 33, and a fourth wall 34, opposite to said third wall 33 ( Figure 5 ).
  • Said first wall 21 has a length greater than that of said second wall 22.
  • each wall has a first end portion and a second end portion, opposite said first end portion.
  • a second opening 3B is defined by the second end portion of each wall 31,32,33,34.
