My children were deprived of the right to burn themselves from a mixture of childhood curiosity and piromania

You sound like one of those smarty pants that never accidentally set fire to their parent’s kitchen trashcan.

They were almost completely phased out almost 25 years ago.

What are you driving?

The 12v receptacles are still around, and you can buy the lighters, it is an option still really

Oh, I know, and thank goodness, too. Otherwise, I would not have been able to power, my iPod, and eventually, my iPhone, through the 00s

But I did notice that even the 12 V receptacles were phased out for a couple of years until they were brought back by popular demand because people are needing to power devices like phone chargers, and what not.

Well I know that at least a 2003 volvo s60 and a 2014 bmw f30 have had them :3.. or the ones I've been in did anyway lol

Sorry, I should’ve been more clear… I was just referring to the actual lighter, not the 12 V “accessory port”. Those are still pretty common.

My 2008 still has one. As far as I can tell it's never been used, and the ash tray is pristine and unused, but it's got one.

Smoking while driving is illegal in many (not enough) countries so it makes a lot of sense that they would be removed.

how the fuck am I supposed to stay awake while I drive?

guess I'll just sniff my own farts.

I wish it was banned everywhere. If you wanna kill yourself with cigarettes then do it the normal slow way with cancer, but dont endanger other people by being distracted while driving.

Imo they should just ban smoking in public in general, I hate choking on someone's cancer fumes while going down to the store or whatever

4

Yeah basically disallow smoking in all places where people gather. Bars, outdoor restaurants, sports events, etc.

We have this and it works for the most part.

Pubs there tends to be more people blocking the door than in the pub as when a smoker goes out for a fag the non smokers tend to follow to continue the conversation.

You must never have smoked. There's nothing distracting about smoking... But the unfulfilled addiction, if banned, could lead to some nice road rage videos.

Mine was cleaning up sparklers and not realizing it mattered which end you picked up.

In retrospect we're all like "how could you make such a mistake", but I guess ya gotta start somewhere.

Apparently that "somewhere" happens to smell like crispy flesh. Who knew?

5

Oh, but since then I've made so many much more severe mistakes!

I burnt a hole in my grandmas passenger seat and got grounded for a week while I cleaned the whole interior

2

Damn, that sucks too. Not sure which outcome I'd pick in retrospect.

Knowing my luck I'd have gotten a taste of both options 😂

I removed mine and added a usb /usb-c plug. Its not like I was using it for anything else.

I agree. I miss my thumbnails. Gotta go, I'm smoking Winstons in my Pontiac.

y'all got burned with those? first time I played with it I noticed it was bright hot and obviously didn't touch it!!!

how many of you didn't notice its bright hot!!!

5

I knew stuff was hot and touched it anyway. I was dumb and I don't knew why I did it

5

I mean I knew it was hot, but surely it would be fine to touch just a little? ..no, it was not. First and last time I've heard my flesh shizzle

It's back, just pay the heated thingy subscription to unlock it

I went to school with a kid who had burn scars from those things on the back of both of his hands
