Like a pediatrician rounding on cystic fibrosis children in the hospital and smoking at their bedside. That's what the early 1980s were like. - eviltoast

    I still have a bic lighter, and I quit smoke 10 years ago. Never know when it’ll come in handy.

    I also remember when there were cigarette vending machines in restaurants. $1.25/pack and no age verification. 😉

      We got one from a gas station for lighting birthday candles. I just got a firepit and went to use it to start a fire and realized I’ve never used one before and had to try a lot of times to actually get it to light.

        They’re pretty shit for lighting anything that’s not cigarettes or similar. They burn the fuck out of your finger if held any orientation but vertical which makes lighting a campfire annoying. Gotta light the kindling in your hand then place it under the wood once lit.
