CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Time now, though, for a little 'Business Buzz.' Forget about lighting up in the car, how about charging your phone. More and more people are doing it, and that's a good thing. Carrie Lee reports live from the Nasdaq market site. Tell us about this -- Carrie.</s>CARRIE LEE, CNN FINANCIAL NEWS CORRESPONDENT: You know it's very interesting, Carol, you would think that as more people quit smoking, cigarette lighters would sort of become passe as well. But in fact, the number of car cigarette lighters is actually increasing. In fact, the hardest thing to really figure out about car lighters these days is what to do with the actual lighter. In model year 2004, there are 47 vehicles that come standard with five or six lighter sockets. In 1998, no vehicles came with that many. All those extra sockets mean more places to plug in cell phone chargers, personal digital assistance, GPS devices, even brewing coffee. Kids, of course, can sit in the back seat, plug in portable DVD players, video games, keeps them quiet. There's even a couple -- there are even a couple of Web sties that sell products just for this type of -- this type of thing. SafetyCentral.com, for example, sells a 20-ounce coffeepot, a frying pan, a curling iron, an electric cooler and a special adapter so you can plug in multiple devices into one lighter. There's even an adult novelty store in Manhattan, sells some items that plug into a car lighter as well. Who would have thought of that, Carol, but they have.</s>COSTELLO: All right.
