I don't smoke and was trying to remove the cigarette lighter to connect my cell phone for charging. I could not remove it and did not want to force it out. Anyone know how it is done?

While pulling, adding some twist would help.

Can not help - I don't smoke and got a non-smoking pack, so have no lighter either, just plastic caps which can easily beremoved by pulling them out

Pull. You won't break it. If you don't use the lighter, the spring clip is probably quite stiff.
