A novel idea: phone with a built-in lighter!

Here’s a novel idea – phone with a built-in a lighter, something that smokers from all around the world would certainly embrace. Actually, when you think about it, this phone — actually a concept device, as I’m not aware something like this is actually on sale — will most probably find its buyers in parts of Asia where smoking is still allowed in bars.

The lighter itself is a car-like glowing ember located at the back of the device, behind a protective cover. The only problem I see is how the presence of a lighter reflects on the battery life. The way I see it, something’s gotta give, but having a lighter always around is certainly “beneficial” for smokers… or not.
