An ashtray is disclosed for use with a smoking machine for smoking a smoking article. The ashtray comprises directional fins underneath the ashtray for directing airflow over the smoking article. This can allow the direction of airflow to be confined to a well-defined path, and turbulence in the airflow to be reduced.
