Having seen Now, Voyager a while back, I have to say... I was coming on here to post about it and you beat me to it (apparently, you watched it on TCM live, while I was stuck DVRing it and watching it a few days later).

From the Now, Voyager trivia:

"Paul Henreid's act of lighting two cigarettes at once caught the public's imagination and he couldn't go anywhere without being accosted by women begging him to light cigarettes for them."

I guess people had short memories in the '30s or perhaps nobody went to see this film when it came out.
