I read somewhere that the cigarette lighter was invented before that match. By “cigarette lighter” does one mean a handheld contraption that feeds lighter fluid into a spark to create a flame to light a cigarette, or does it mean simply two flint stones rubbed together near any object to be lit? Can anyone confirm the claim?
I don’t know who first said “everyone’s a critic,” but I think it’s a really stupid saying.
I would venture to say a “cigarette lighter” is a device or set of instruments and intructions designed to light a cigarette, but what do I know? Suppose you tell us where you read this “claim,” and maybe we can pin that definition down.
I read it in an e-mail forward. Yeah, yeah, I know that’s not the most reliable source, but it was preceded and followed by other facts that I have learned to be true.

I read about that too, a long time ago.
It was a contraption that used flint and liquid fuel. Pretty much like the ones used today.
Sorry, Can’t cite. And too lazy to look for it.
