No, it’s not a shameless attempt to get kids smoking, but it is almost as oddly conceived, it’s the James A. Garfield disposable lighter. I picked it up at one of my neighborhood’s many discount stores, even though I don’t smoke - it was just too odd to pass up. It’s slightly less odd when you consider that it was one in a series of presidential lighters, along with requisite non-president Ben Franklin.

These were all the lighters I saw from the series (there were more generic designs in the display). I’m can’t quite figure how Garfield made it to #5 in their release schedule (or 6, if you assume John Adams was just short packed). Do the manufactures figure that smokers would like a reminder that maybe a disgruntled lawyer might get them before the cigarettes do?
