Lighting a cigarette without a lighter requires alternative methods to ignite the tobacco. These methods often involve using friction, heat, or electricity to create a flame or ember that can light the cigarette.
Historically, matches were the primary tool for lighting cigarettes before the invention of lighters. Matches provide a convenient and portable source of flame, making them ideal for lighting cigarettes on the go. However, in situations where matches are unavailable, other methods must be employed.
