A lighter that includes a safety mechanism for preventing its ignition. A piezoelectric lighter ignition unit has a plunger that is movable into a main casting to generate sparks for igniting a stream of flammable gas. A safety mechanism includes a plunger which includes a notch at one side to define an open surface that extends transversely to the direction of motion of the plunger. A latch has a stop portion that makes contact with the transverse open surface to obstruct the motion of the plunger. An arm moves the latch.
