wherein the holder comprises first and second arms which protrude away from a central point and are deflected towards one another to present generally opposed gripping surfaces;

the arms are formed from a resilient material, allowing the arms to deflect to allow a cigarette lighter to be placed between the arms, so the arms will then exert a gripping force on the lighter; and

an adjustment arrangement is provided to be grasped and rotated by a user to bring the arms closer to one another or draw them further apart from one another thus increasing or decreasing the distance between the gripping surfaces when the holder is in an undisturbed state.

2. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment means is attached rotatably with respect to a part of the base unit from which the leash protrudes, so that, if the attachment means is attached to a part of a user's clothing, the part of the base unit may rotate with respect to that part of the user's clothing.

3. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the central point comprises a central spine from which the arms protrude.

4. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment arrangement is an adjustment knob which can be rotated by a user.

5. A device according to claim 1 further comprising a grinder, the grinder enclosing a first internal space into which a quantity of a herb can be placed, and have respective first and second grinding arrangements which protrude inwardly into the first internal space, and having a grip arrangement which may be gripped and manipulated by a user so that the sets of grinding arrangements move with respect to one another to apply a grinding action to a quantity of the herb received in the first internal space.

6. A device according to claim 5 , wherein one or both of the grinding arrangements is a set of grinding teeth.

7. A device according to claim 5 , wherein the grinder is releasably attachable to the base unit.

8. A device according to claim 7 , wherein the grinder is releasably attached to the base unit by way of respective first and second magnets.

9. A device according to claim 5 , wherein the grinder comprises two elements which may rotate with respect to one another, and the grip arrangement comprises respective gripping arrangements formed on outer surface of the two elements.

10. A device according to claim 5 , wherein the grinder comprises a second internal space, separate from the first internal space, and can be opened to gain access to the second internal space.

11. A device according to claim 10 wherein the sets of grinding arrangements do not protrude into the second internal space.

12. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the base unit comprises, or is attached to, a container which substantially encloses an internal space, and can be opened to gain access to the internal space.

13. A device according to claim 1 , further comprising a braking mechanism to slow the retraction of the leash into the base unit.

14. A device according to claim 13 , wherein the braking mechanism slows the retraction of the leash into the base unit when a distal end of the leash nears the base unit.

15. A device according to claim 13 , wherein the braking mechanism comprises a covering applied over at least a part of the leash.

16. A device comprising:

a base unit;

an attachment means, connected to the base unit, which can be used to attach the base unit releasably to a user's clothing;

wherein the attachment means is attached rotatably with respect to a part of the base unit from which the leash protrudes, so that, if the attachment means is attached to a part of a user's clothing, the part of the base unit may rotate with respect to that part of the user's clothing;

a leash arrangement comprising a flexible leash element which may be extended from, and retracted into, the base unit;

a holder attached to the leash element, the holder being operable to grip and release at least one type of cigarette lighter; and
