The electrical cigar-lighter was invented and patented in the early 1880s by the German inventor Friedrich Wilhelm Schindler (de). In the 1890s, these tools were sold as electrical cigar lighters (Cigarrenanzuender), and later as Zigarrenanzuender in the major German warehouse catalogues.
First patented by a gentleman named Herbert A. Gilbert in 1963, the first e-cigarette was described as a non-tobacco cigarette wherein a nicotine solution was heated up to produce steam. This was the first recorded instance of the idea of e-cigarettes; however, the product was never manufactured. Fast-forward to 1979, when Dr. Norman Jacobson invented an early form of the e-cigarette. Called the Favor cigarette, it was a device that gave users a way to inhale nicotine without the smoke. The decades that followed showed no improvements in e-cig technology, and Dr. Jacobsonâs invention was virtually ignored.
