So, they actually sort of still make these, but as an in-wall unit. It’s a flush faceplate with a hole that you insert a cigarette into to light it. The reason these still exist? For places like prisons or behavioral and mental health facilities where patients might smoke but it’s too dangerous to give them access to a lighter.

I want a modern EV with one of those old school push-in lighters and other anachronistic features.

Past all the obvious points like, "smoking is bad," "smoking in the car is worse," etc, this still seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist and might make things worse. Even the standard electric lighters in the dash at the time seem like a better option. I always assumed those were a backup anyway.

This thing has a hopper that can hold a pack's worth of loose cigarettes, but the user has to load them in there. Needless to say, orientation matters, so that's one more thing that can go wrong. On top of that, if the device isn't the primary source of cigarettes, then there's just an open pack of cigarettes sitting in a hot car, going stale for most of the day. That is, unless the user primarily works in their vehicle, this device mostly just oxidizes cigarettes. Even then, nothing about the function of the device is faster or simpler than someone grabbing a cigarette, putting it in their mouth and using a conventional lighter, all of which can also be done one-handed.

just be careful, you don't wanna spill your drink while you light up. That's alcohol abuse if ya spill it

Look what the wokies have taken from us!

Nothing should stand between you and your addiction!

The future truly is now.
