Is it safe to plug a phone charger into a cigarette lighter plug?

I just purchased a used 2005 Ford Focus and I'm wondering if I can use the cigerette "cigar" lighter as a phone charger plug. I have already without problems but I want to make sure it's safe and won't damage my phone.

Just to add detail, here's a picture or the plug:

There is no other power port in the car. I have looked all over, however the cigerette "plug" hardly fits in the plug itself, so I don't know if someone just bought that as a cover or what.
 
Yes it's fine to use the cigarette lighter but if I remember your Focus should have an auxiliary power plug too. Are you using that for something e.lse
