WHAT WAS INVENTED FIRST CIGARETTE LIGHTERS OR FRICTION MATCHES?





The lighter was invented in the 16th century out of nothing more than a converted flintlock pistol.  Now one can argue that a pistol is no lighter.   But if you look up the definition of “Lighter” in the dictionary, it states; “A mechanical device used in lighting fires, cigarettes, cigars, or pipes.”  So by definition, the converted pistol was indeed the first lighter. But it wasn’t until 1823 a German chemist named Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner is credited with inventing the first lighter.  It was often called the “Dobereiner’s Lamp.”  It worked by a reaction of hydrogen to platinum sponge, which gave off a large amount of heat. In 1826 John Walker from England invented the first actual match.
