So today I was wondering... who invented the cigarette lighter? and when did they come up with it?
The answer I found is a man by the name of JW Dobereiner who was a German chemist and invented the cigarette lighter in 1823. His lighter was called Döbereiner's Lamp and was produced all the way up to the 1880's, the lighter worked by mixing zinc with sulferic acid to produce hydrogen gas. This hydrogen gas would then be lit using a piece of platitum metal as a catalyst.
