Oh Yes! The desparation of smokers to get a light! I vividly recall when I
was VS1LU in Singapore, MANY years ago, early hours of morning, shops all
shut, cigarettes to hand, but not a match in the house, & there was I
sucking on an unlit smoke held against a hot soldering iron whilst working
EU on 40m cw!
Yes, it did light up - after half-hour or so!
Sorry for the OT post.
