Well, it's funny now, but it wasn't then.
About 23 years ago, I had a brand new truck. I kept it spotless when it was new. I smoked cigarettes back then. I quit smoking long ago.
My boss needed a ride somewhere after work.
He got in the passenger seat and rolled down the window. He said "OK if I smoke in here"?
I told him go ahead, it was fine.
He pushed in my cigarette lighter and lit his cigarette.
Before putting the cigarette lighter back into its hole, he started banging it on the frame that held my exterior mirror. Hard. Several times.
I calmly looked at him and said "What the fuck are you doing"?
He said "You don't want that tobacco sticking to the lighter filament. It ruins them after awhile, so I'm knocking the tobacco off".
I said "You just chipped the shit out out my mirror frame".
He said "Oh shit, sorry man".

it was common practice to take a small bud of pot and put it in the cigarette lighter. It would put off a plume of smoke for 5-10 seconds so that several people could get a nice nose hit, and there was no residue of a joint in case you got pulled.
Anybody guess where this is going?
One day, my Dad was in the car and pulled out a cigarette and pushed in the lighter. I knew what was going to happen, but was surprised at how strong that sweet aroma was that filled the car when he pulled out the lighter.
He asked, "What the hell is that smell?" and I already had my answer ready about a friend who smoked clove cigarettes. Since my Dad had apparently never smelled pot or cloves, he let it go.
