With cigarettes gaining in popularity, came the need for a slick method for lighting them. The Zippo Manufacturing Company was founded in 1932 by George G. Blaisdell, who developed the first-ever 'Zippo' cigarette lighter in late 1932. The safety match was invented in 1836 by the Hungarian JÃ¡nos Irinyi who was a student of chemistry. The cigarette lighter was invented before the match. In 1816, a German chemist named J.W. Dobereiner devised a way of automatically igniting a jet of hydrogen.
