  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

      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 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.

    Very common in my country :3

      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.

        That’s as unamerican as trying to ban masturbation while driving.

        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.

        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
