I don't smoke, but every time I go out, I forget to take a lighter. I can't count the number of times I've been asked if I have one. It's a decent way to start a conversation, but I have some really cool lighters that I got as souveneers and they are a great conversation starter. One uses a front slider to ignite a jet flame, which is cool, but the other is my favorite. It looks normal at first, but then the flame turns bright green. It has some glass bead thing in the path of the flame, and it turns the flame green once it heats up. It's awesome.
