When using a lighter, safety should always be the top priority. Here are some tips to follow for the safe use of any type of lighter:

A. Inspect Your Lighter

You should periodically check your lighter and the charging cord for damage.  If the cord is broken, your lighter might not charge properly. 

B. Keep Away From Children/Pets

Never leave a lit lighter unattended or within reach of small children and pets. Keep lighters out of sight and preferably locked away when not in use.

If you use a lighter to light something like a campfire or candle, keep an eye on it and put it out after it's done.

Using lighters should only be done by adults, even with proper caution.

C. Be Careful When Using In Confined Spaces

It is also important to point the lighter away from your body.

Uses Of Lighters

A lighter is a convenient tool that can be used for many applications. It can help light candles, fireplaces, and stoves; it can also be used to light campfires or tiki torches. Lighters are often included in first aid kits and emergency supplies as an easy way to start a fire if needed.

Lighters can also be used to make art. With some practice and imagination, lighters can be used to create intricate designs on paper, fabric, or other surfaces. This is an easy and enjoyable activity that requires minimal supplies aside from a lighter.

In addition to their creative uses, lighters are useful for everyday tasks like burning through rope or packaging, removing splinters, and even starting a car engine. Knowing how to use lighters safely and correctly is essential to get the most out of them.
