# Ironic Lighters Cigarette Shaped Lighter Shows the Light Side of Smoking By Alex Scott | Published 2010-02-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cigarette-shaped-lighter References: [coolbuzz.org](http://www.coolbuzz.org/entry/cigarette-shaped-lighter/) Now, normally I wouldn’t feature any [cigarette paraphernalia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/und) on here as I am definitely not pro-smoking, but after I came across this cigarette shaped lighter, I had to give it a few words. Maybe whatever little irony this device contains is lost here, but I think the idea is rather neat. As a bonus, the cigarette shaped lighter could be a neat little anti-smoking tool that can be used to fool your [friends who smoke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoking-device) that you light up too... although one may look foolish walking around with an unlit cigarette in their mouth. I’ll leave it up to you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Novelty Lighters:** There's an opportunity to create and market unique lighters that appeal to consumers looking for novelty items. - **Anti-smoking Tools:** Developing innovative tools like this cigarette-shaped lighter can aid in anti-smoking campaigns and help raise awareness. - **Disguised Smoking Accessories:** The market for smoking accessories could expand by offering discreet and disguised products like this cigarette-shaped lighter. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Goods:** The consumer goods industry can explore new avenues by creating and selling novelty lighters and anti-smoking tools. - **Tobacco:** The tobacco industry can benefit by incorporating innovative solutions like this disguised smoking accessory into their product offerings. - **Promotional Products:** Promotional product companies can leverage the popularity of novelty items by manufacturing and distributing cigarette-shaped lighters as a unique marketing tool. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inflation-Themed Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moneylighter.md) - [Witty Workshop Lighter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-shop-talk-lighter-series.md) - [Minimalistic Slim Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-tone-minimal-lighter.md) - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Playful Pickle-Themed Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grillos-pickles-x-zippo.md) - [Slick Rechargeable Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rechargeable-lighter.md) - [Mouthwatering Lighter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indulgent-lighter-series.md) - [Positive Affirmation Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-positive-affirmations-lighter-series.md) - [Vintage-Style Living Room Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houseplant-car-lighter.md)
