How does a car cigarette lighter work? (www.lumafield.com)

This is an ad for something CT-scan-related, but it contains a good breakdown of how an old car cigarette lighter works. And it has a couple interactive CT Scan explorers past the video.

“...a built-in cigarette case which “hands” you a cigarette at the [unintelligible] of a convenient lever.”

Really disappointed that's all that link had... No pictures or illustrations, not even a proper description :/

Found it in the Popular Mechanics issue.

A "smoke."

This one has images and a diagram. So you pull the lever on the bottom and on top a cigarette will be Pezzed out. Here's the car it was installed in. Didn't find anything about it being lit though.

I wanted a video, but couldn't find one.
