Zippo spread all over the country thanks to promotional efforts where corporations would have their own logos attached to Zippo lighters. One of the reasons for Zippo’s success was its willingness to take on different brands. The iconic design and reliability have caused these cigarette lighters to be found on every corner of the world. The Zippo brand lighter is easily the most popular brand of cigarette lighter in the world. While we no longer have to worry about dangerous phosphorus lighters exploding in our pockets, we do have to cope with more varieties of lighters that have ever been made before.
Lighters have been through a lot in nearly 200 years of history.
