I gave away at least a few of my Zippos since I started vaping, but kept six or eight of my favorites, some flints and a couple cans of fluid, along with a pile of disposable butane lighters...might come in handy during a zombie apocalypse.
I have one of those long lighters for the grill.. my husband still has a pack of bics somewhere in his "stuff".. stuff that I'm not allowed to clean or organise.. lol..

I still enjoy my cigars and pipes every now and then (I have a couple hundred cigars and enough pipe tobacco to endure the Apocalypse) so I kept a Zippo pipe lighter. Love this thing! I've always thought of pipe and cigar smoking to be a different world to cigarette smoking. So I don't include it as "smoking".
I really liked having and using a Zippo when I was a smoker, but I had to stop using them because the fluid made the skin on my hands crack and peel. Petroleum allergy? I don't know, Vaseline doesn't do it, and I don't have occasion to handle lots of gasoline. In any case, I came across a couple of old ones the other day...so old and so dry that they let out puffs of dust when I opened them up and pulled out the innards.
I was never good with Zippos. But I still have Bics. I still need to set stuff on fire once in a while. I light the grill, mosquito coils, candles, incense...
