Is a lighter effective because it’s on fire? Or just because it’s hot?

If you made a lighter that was just as hot as another lighter, would it work just as well even if it had no fire?

    Itll melt the plastic around the socket as they arent designed to tolerate heat anymore.

              Nah, that was all you. Nobody said smoking was a good idea. Just that it’s stupid to create a fire hazard to make a car 0.0001% more profitable. You barged in with a weird non sequitur. I was just pointing it out.

                  Was that what it was supposed to be? Don’t quit your day job.

                    It’s OK, not everybody has the capacity to understand the nuances of language.

            Yeah, fire is super handy for all sorts of things while I’m driving a car.
