Are cigarette lighters allowed in airports?

Accepted answer

Standard cigarette lighters are generally allowed in carry-on baggage. Obviously this is an area where exact regulations vary from country-to-country, and there may be limits on the maximum number per person (eg, 1!) but for the most part they are allowed.

For example, the US TSA "Can I Take" website will give you the requirements for cigarette lighters when passing through US airports.

I never had a problem with cheap plastic lighters. I would put them in the xray bin and it would be fine.

In addition to Doc's answer, some smoking rooms at airports have cigarette lighters in them as well. You may check this website for the product information on such lighters.

I believe this ensures that you do not require a cigarette lighter in your baggage to smoke in permitted smoking areas in airports such as Delhi,Frankfurt or Amsterdam as these airports usually have such services installed at the airport.

At the airports of Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and nowadays also in Kenya, they search for lighters and matches. It is not allowed to carry any whether it is in check in baggage, in the hand luggage or in your pocket. They will take it!
