If you smoke (use the lighter) chances are it is the lighter itself, the part that goes in the socket that you light the cigarette with. After a few years they short out.

Cig lighter fuse keeps blowing out

Research what else is on the circuit. In the old days when cars had more than one cigarret lighter I discovered that a penny fits in the socket perfectly and would cause a short.

My cigarette lighter fuse blow out

If you replace the fuse again and it blows then you have a short somewhere, usually in an accessory you're plugging into it, or in the actual lighter. If it just blew randomly and replacing the fuse fixes the problem then I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes they blow prematurely.
