cigarette lighters
Pocket fire sources
A cigarette lighter is a small handheld device that produces a flame, typically used to light cigarettes, candles, or campfires.
Most common are disposable plastic lighters with butane fuel and a flint wheel, though refillable metal lighters like Zippos remain popular.
Car cigarette lighters, which heat a coil electrically, have largely been replaced by power outlets, though the socket size persists.
I always keep a lighter in my pocket even though I quit smoking.
