I had the same problem. Did you stick your cell phone charger in there? If you did, you probably blew the fuse. I did that and it stopped working. The cigarette lighter is meant only for that reason. Dealer changed the fused for me. It works now.

Wow you smoke in your car.... Well the only thing I would do is bring back to the stealer and try to find out what is wrong with it.
