Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emptying the ashtray into a metal container partially filled with sand or water is the safest option as it helps to extinguish any smoldering embers and prevent fires. Emptying it into a wastebasket or plastic container can be a fire hazard if any hot embers are still present. Waiting for the person to finish smoking before emptying the ashtray is not a practical solution.
