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?

    My car seems to be from the transition period, it has a lighter but no ash trays in the front, only in the back.

    I guess it’s fine for the kids to smoke while watching the in built DVD players but not the driver and front passenger /s

      There may have been an accessory package available that gave you a cup-shaped ashtray to put in the cupholder
