Comment on It was a sad day when these were no longer available

So, they actually sort of still make these, but as an in-wall unit. It’s a flush faceplate with a hole that you insert a cigarette into to light it. The reason these still exist? For places like behavioral and mental health facilities where patients might smoke but it’s too dangerous to give them access to a lighter.

  My thoughts exactly. Disgraceful.

But they’d then have access to something burning … it’s not that hard to start a fire with a cigarette

  Sneaking a smoking object into an area with flammable materials will be obvious.

    Lit cigarettes don’t give off much smoke by themselves, you could sneak it pretty easily.

    You can’t just deny a person a cigarette it’s their civil right and your patriotic duty to supply them
