In India and South Korea the airports have smoking rooms. It's a nice convenience for people who feel like they have to smoke every so often but it makes me wonder... how do people light up in those rooms?
Are they able to bring cigarette lighters passed the security check point? Are they able to buy them once their inside the secure area? Or maybe the smoking rooms have built-in cigarette lighters in the same way cars do?
I guess I could have gone in and asked but I don't smoke and thought the smell would get to me and didn't want to loiter around when I had a flight to catch.

At the airports of Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and nowadays also in Kenya, they search for lighters and matches. It is not allowed to carry any whether it is in check in baggage, in the hand luggage or in your pocket. They will take it!

Answer 2
In addition to Doc's answer, some smoking rooms at airports have cigarette lighters in them as well. You may check this website for the product information on such lighters.
I believe this ensures that you do not require a cigarette lighter in your baggage to smoke in permitted smoking areas in airports such as Delhi,Frankfurt or Amsterdam as these airports usually have such services installed at the airport.

I never had a problem with cheap plastic lighters. I would put them in the xray bin and it would be fine.
