Now this is a discussion regarding the smokers.I'm not to proud or happy about it but i am a smoker and my biggest dilemma is that almost all the times im trying to light a cigarette i never find a lighter.It seams that this thing is not happening only to me,because i've often been asked for a lighter,i find one to offer them but ended up without a lighter for myself.And i hate to ask others for one.For how hard i try to keep a lighter with me,i never got one to light my cigarette. Did this happened to any of you and if yes did you found any methods to prevent it? By the way...anyone has a lighter?I'ill send it back:D

I do have a lighter but since i stopped smoking two years back my wife has kept it as a memento adding that she will use it to light me up if she ever sees me smoking again. I would be glad for my own personal safety concern to relieve her of the potential safety hazard and send it to you, if i can manage to trace it.

Though not a smoker, I do have an antique blue Dunhill lighter that belonged to my grandad before he passed away. Apparently, I've heard that these particular lighters can fetch quite a bit, but I'm not interested in selling it just yet

I used to have this problem. Now I always carry a spare in my coat pocket. That way if I lose one there I always have a backup.

Yes, I often do have a lighter on or near me. But I cannot say always because I often find myself getting "biced"

Yes, my friend, Lee has the problem of asking people for a lighter and never returning it. In fact, on multiple occasions several of my friends found themselves without a lighter at the same time, only to get Lee to empty his pockets and find them all there! Seriously, there were like six lighters in the guy's pocket. He's says he doesn't mean to do it, but you would think that after the millionth time he would pay attention to what he is doing. I've handed him a lighter and watched him put it right into his own pocket. He doesn't steal anything else, just lighters. Maybe he has a vault at home stocked with them. I just don't know.

Lol!So bottom line is that i should stop smoking and im sure i will find easier a lighter.It seams that for most of non-smokers or ex-smokers is easier to own a lighter,while other smokers have the same problem as me.Thx,phoenix.

i do have a lighter and not because i smoke but just for emergency use. like if theres black out at least i can use my lighter. i want this than a flashlight coz sometimes you still need battery for flash light. i found lighter more useful.
