    Shouldn't be a problem. Cigarette lighter should be wired and fused for 20 amps, although not intended for continuous use. What's the amperage of the CB. Should be a lot less.

    I would just double check the amp on CB unit and that of the lighter. Also, I have known many people, who have a dedicated lighter plug wired just for this, ruing though separate breaker to the battery, so it does not go though the breakers with the other electronics.
