A device for use with a container containing liquid and having an opening for the consecutive consumption of the liquid and of smoke that has been drawn into the container. The device comprises a body, a combustion receptacle, and a tubular structure. An inlet end of the body engages the container, and an outlet end can be placed at the mouth of a user. The tubular structure connects the combustion receptacle with the interior of the liquid container. When smoking material is combusted and the container is inverted, outflow of liquid from the container through the body, in most instances into a user's mouth, creates negative pressure within the container, drawing in smoke from the combustion receptacle. Once most or all of the liquid has flowed out of the container, the user may then inhale the smoke in the container through the body.

1. A device for use with a liquid container having an opening and containing liquid, the device comprising: a body having an inlet end and an outlet end, and defining a fluid passage between the inlet end and the outlet end, the inlet end is aligned with and substantially sealingly engaged with the container to provide fluid communication between the opening of the container and the fluid passage of the body, the outlet end extending away from the opening of the container and being transverse to a longitudinal axis of the container, the body further defining an opening therethrough, the opening being different than the fluid passage;a combustion receptacle for receiving smokable material, and for allowing the combustion of the smokable material therein; anda tubular structure for allowing the travel of smoke from the combustion receptacle into the container, the tubular structure having a first end and a second end and extending at least from the opening in the body outwardly from the inlet end of the body such that said first end extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the container and in a direction opposite to the outlet end of the body, the first end being in fluid communication with the combustion receptacle, and the second end extending into the container when the device is engaged with the container. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein when the device is engaged with the container, when the container and device are at least partially inverted, and when the smokable material is combusted in the combustion receptacle, egress of the liquid from the container into the fluid passage of the body causes smoke from the combustion receptacle to be drawn into the container through the tubular structure. 3. The device claim 1 wherein when the device is engaged with the container, the second end of the tubular structure is disposed at or proximate to a bottom surface of the container so that when the container is inverted and smoke is drawn into the container, the amount of smoke that passes through the liquid as it exits the tubular structure is minimized. 4. The device of claim 1 further comprising a one-way valve mechanism for preventing travel of the liquid in the container into the combustion receptacle but allowing for the travel of fluid from the combustion receptacle into the container. 5. The device of claim 4 wherein the one-way valve mechanism is disposed at the second end of the tubular structure, thereby preventing ingress of the liquid into the tubular structure. 6. The device of claim 5 wherein the one-way valve mechanism is in the form of a duckbill valve, a check valve, or a ball valve. 7. The device of claim 1 wherein the orientation of the combustion receptacle is maintained in an upright position as the container is moved between a non-inverted orientation and an inverted orientation. 8. The device of claim 7 wherein the tubular structure extends outwardly from the body through the opening in the body, and at least a portion of the tubular structure extending outwardly from the body is flexible with minimal force by hand to enable the orientation of the combustion receptacle to be maintained in the upright position as the container is moved between the non-inverted orientation and the inverted orientation. 9. The device of claim 7 wherein the tubular structure extends outwardly from the body through the opening in the body, the tubular structure comprising at least a first tubular portion and a second tubular portion, at least part of the second tubular portion being located outwardly of the body, the second tubular portion being disposed between the first tubular portion and the combustion receptacle, the second tubular portion being rotatably and sealingly engaged to the first portion. 10. The device of claim 1 wherein the distance by which the tubular structure extends outwardly from the inlet end of the body is selectively adjustable. 11. The device of claim 10 wherein the tubular structure comprises an extension mechanism disposed between the opening in the body and the second end of the tubular structure, the extension mechanism allowing for the selective adjustment of the length of the tubular structure. 12. The device of claim 1 wherein the combustion receptacle comprises a removable cover for retaining the smokable material therein, the combustion receptacle defining at least one opening therethrough to allow for the ingress of air into the receptacle. 13. The device of claim 1 wherein the combustion receptacle is defined by and disposed at the first end of the tubular structure. 14. The device of claim 1 wherein the combustion receptacle is releasably connected to the tubular structure. 15. The device of claim 1 further comprising a shotgunning valve mechanism for selectively closing and opening the fluid passageway defined by the tubular structure. 16. The device of claim 15 wherein the shotgunning valve mechanism is disposed between the combustion receptacle and the opening in the body. 17. The device of claim 15 wherein the shotgunning valve mechanism is resiliently biased in one of a closed position and an open position. 18. The device of claim 1 wherein the body is releasably secured to the container to maintain the sealing engagement of the inlet end of the body with the container. 19. The device of claim 18 wherein the inlet end of the body is releasably secured to the container by way of one of a friction fit, a snap fit, or a twist-on fit. 20. The device of claim 1 wherein the body comprises a flow valve mechanism for limiting or preventing the flow of liquid out of the outlet end of the body. 21. The device of claim 1 wherein the body defines a vent opening therethrough extending from the fluid passage of the body to the exterior of the body, the vent opening facilitating the clearing of smoke from the container and fluid passage of the body.
