Is There Anywhere I Can Buy a 12V Cigarette Lighter in This Nanny World We Live?

Getting tired of looking for my lighters when driving and miss the days I just push the 12V Cigarette Lighter and it's ready piping hot.
My 2022 car has the 12V Socket but it looks to be for stupid purposes like LED charge cables and whatnot.
Does anyone know where I can find a simple thing like this? I checked ebay and amazon, none stock it.

    • I think they want one that works.

        Indeed. I hate it how the cigarette lighter stops working after an accident, forcing the owner to sell the car for scrap.

    • Thanks.

      A plunger by itself won't work in an accessory socket, you need the matching cylinder in the dash.

      Try this

        That's what I linked. I guess ppl think if it's not on Amazon,it can't exist.
        SCA is the obvious local supply search.

        • Might also need this since he won't have an ashtray.

    So where do you plug in your phone if you've got a cigarette lighter plugged into your cigarette lighter socket?

    While I agree yes, nanny country - is the removal of the cigarette lighter actually to do with 'nanny' protections? I thought it was more no one used them?

      Maybe like eating, drinking, putting on makeup, smoking while driving is technically illegal (not having full control of the vehicle?).
      Or that it's also illegal to smoke in a car with people 15 and under?

      • i mean..theres always the humble bic lighter, in my younger years had 3-4 stashed around the car anyway as my 12v lighter was broken.

    My 2022 car has the 12V Socket but it looks to be for stupid purposes like LED charge cables and whatnot.

    Stupid purposes like charging your phone, camera, laptop, or camping torch, running GPS unit, dashcam, etc., as opposed to intelligent purposes like taking your attention off the road to light your cigarette, filling your lungs with carcinogenic smoke, and making your car's interior smell like a toilet?

        You live in a bubble of theoretical stupidity.

        You have a higher chance being killed by a dog than lighting your car on fire during the process of lighting your cigarette.

        Natural selection

        Pot calling the kettle black.

      Would you like me to nail your vapid, and half-witted response with a Google search on the car accident statistics caused by:

      • Lighting a Cigarette Vs.
      • Charging, Looking, Using a Phone?
      • You'd lose the nailing. Smoking Pariahs are outnumbered by dimwit phone users about a 100/1, but you should prove your point by uploading the stats anyway.

        You can use google, now?
        That was quick

        Did you know you can stop the car to do these things? Are you telling me you actually do light your cigarette while driving?

    Have you tried this magic site called GOOGLE…
    it only comes up with About 20,100,000 results (0.44 seconds) hits to 12v cigarette lighter socket

    • Some ppl can't handle such modern innovations and extremely challenging processes like google
      That's why they made Ozbargain forums.

    Your 2022 car is trying to tell you to take up vaping.

    • And die earlier?
      Yeah, nah.

        Earlier than a smoker? Yeah, nah.

        (Both are just as bad as each other)

  • to be for stupid purposes like LED charge cables and whatnot.

    Unlike those non stupid purposes like smoking cigarettes? lmao

    I love how the use of a single word tells so much about a person

    • If he calls you woke, you've made it to reality

  • Get an ecig. Then you can smoke and use that stupid led charging thing for a good purpose. I'm sure you can still be cool by not breathing in poison

  • Going by all the above responses…. Yes.

  • OP fails to google, or look in the most obvious websites, also gets multiple links to help, then goes on multiple personal attacks.

    1. Quit smoking.
    2. Don't smoke in the car.

    Problem solved.

    You can also try this, instant burn don't need to wait for the coil to heatup.

    Nanny.?

    Smoking should be free for all adults, and come with a health disclaimer that forces them to the end of all hospital admissions lists,with smoking related conditions.
    There should be a mandatory penalty of $500 per every occasion a smoker lights up withing 200M of any non consenting adult or a minor. 3 strikes and you do 6 months (no parole) with no access to cigs in jail.

  • So is it the new Blues Mobile?!
