It was mostly because early strike-matches contained toxic ingredients like phosphorus. Try to light up off of them and smoking itself will kill a whole lot faster than cancer. "Matches" as small twigs that burn for a while once lit by something else have exsisted for millenia but strike-matches were an invention of the 18 and 19th centuries.

@@Yipper64 Well, the cheap and common option was to buy matches. Until the turn of the century, people used fire strikers, pieces of steel that produced sparks when struck, to make fire. With the advent of matches, everyone lit their cigars with that instead. Lighters were only used in windy situations where a match wouldn't stay lit, so they became more common in the military. Having one just to light your cigarettes was already a statement of wealth, so most lighters reflected that in their style and design. Having a cheap lighter would be like buying a fake rolex - pretending to be wealthy. So, yes, cheap lighters existed, but there is a good reason why so many of them were fancy and long-lasting designs.

Nowadays We get lighters in Plastic everyone has the Same ones! No Craftmanships and No Uniqueness that was what the Old Days used to be Everything is Unique and everyone had a Different Lighter! Nowadays You got a iPhone or Android, Team Android here! Also this is what i mean I had a Blackberry and it was to me the Most Unique Phone ever! Nowadays Touch Screens are Taking over and can't even Get a unique Phone without Compromises!

[@mikumabi]

I think the reason I like these old ones so much more than the new ones (the intricate ones) is because each lighter just exudes cute human engenuity. They created the lighter and then just kept expanding on it, each lighter feels like the specific inventors creativity and passion. It's just the charm of human made, hand crafted time and effort, for humans sake. Like each lighter was made with the buyer in mind. So much personality.

In the United States, the sales-weighted average "tar" and nicotine yields have declined from a high of 38 mg "tar" and 2.7 mg nicotine in 1954 to 12 mg and 0.95 mg in 1992, respectively."

Literally? As I bet most of those lighters were expensive at time? I got interested so I googled a bit, and find out that 1926 Ronson model lighter cost $ 5 at the time. Corrected with inflation that would be over $ 30 nowadays. Not exactly a steal, but as there is much cheaper ones readily available, I bet few companies would survive today by making just lighters? But gotta admit all of the ones on video looked way cooler than any modern ones I have seen.
