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.

@@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.

@@gg-gamers most of the things america had at the time were made outside the states actually, and even then, people were looking at the "all-exotic" theme. The only thing that the US did build till late 60's were Fords, Electronics, Industrial machinery and suits. The rest was imported from all over the world. Then the US started moving it's own factories abroad, including... guess where? CHINA, yes, most of the things that "come" from China, are only "manifactured" in China. The actual factories and machinery manifacturing those products are american, then shipped to the states and finally assembled. For example, a good share of fords now are ONLY assembled in the US. The pieces are manifactured by american industries in China. Much like how Apple phones are made with Samsung components (with the twist that those pieces are actually from Samsung). It's not about who makes it or when, but why. Apparently the US won the game of capitalism, making its people buy stuff they don't need, or buying cheap stuff at an insane price with them being unable to tell the difference between authentic and replica or being unable to dictate the price. Take jewelries for example,; 80% of the products yearly sold by jewelries, is not what the customer is paying for. When a customer walks in and looks at the pieces on display, he is not looking at legitimate stuff, but mere bs made to look like it's worth a penny. When a customer wants a 18k gold ring, the owner gives him a 16k one. When a customer is looking for a diamond ring and looks at the display, he is looking at zircon. The issue being, how can the customer check the authenticity and fairness of the trade and product? It's not like every customer is an expert in geology, gems, jewelry. What is he gonna do for the gold ring to check if it's actually 18k? Melt it, dissolve it in acid and then recast it into a ring as if it didn't take years of practice to make a perfectly regular ring? No. Sorry for the long essay, but the point being, things made to last by who and when... its all irrelevant, the US could've stopped making Fords 40 years ago and we wouldn't know it because the country that bought the brand makes Fords exactly identical. Maybe Sacher sold its name to the Danish in the 60's and that's why today's Sacher Torte in inland germany actually suck. When there's a rush for expansion and success, quality isn't really at the top of ones mind. When craftmanship expands through mass producing, it stops being craftmanship, america or not america.

Those flames seem very strong. Makes me wonder what kind of fuel they used and how long it lasted. In fact, they might not really be for lighting cigarettes but survival (starting a fire for cooking), home utility (lighting gas lamps/cooking stoves), or in industrial settings where a pilot light needs to be lit (a locomotive) Fun stuff to think about and those lighters sure are pretty.

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."

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.

@@supergamergrill7734 Nah, you don't sh*t. "Brand new" is not the opposite of "cheaper" just for starters. There's brand new soulless stuff made by the thousands to be as cheap as possible. Plus, i used to smoke and used to have very nice lighters i used in different occasions. And i used to work (from 2011 to 2020) doing custom leather crafts. I 100% am the guy that would spend a little more to buy something handcrafted and durable. Sure, i'm not rich so there's a point where the cheapest thing IS the one i can buy, but being poor and being cheap are two separate issues.
