> But I hear cigarette lighters are banned ?everywhere now ?


Can someone tell the nearest place after customs where I can buy a lighter
at FRA T2???
(Are matches allowed??)
I suppose I could take a piece of flint with me, save a whisky minature from
the flight, pour it on the floor, then ignite it with my piece of flint and
light my cigarette with that.

From what the others have posted about FRA - just look for
the nearest smoker and ask for a light.

Or just inhale the fumes.

That may be true. But if he or she is travelling to the US, those
contraband better be in the checked bag or they are staying in the US.

Yeah, but if a bloke did that, he'd be hauled off to one side and asked
some very pointed questions.
