The present invention relates to a lighter (10), which a user actuates by at least two different modes of operation. In the first mode, a biasing member (42) is positioned to oppose movement of an actuating assembly (33) so that a user releases fuel and ignites the lighter (10) only if a high-actuation-force is applied to the actuator. In the first mode, the lighter resists operation by unintended users by requiring a user to have a predetermined level of strength to actuate the lighter. In the second mode, the biasing member (42) is moved to a different position which does not oppose movement of the actuating assembly (33) to the same extent as the first mode so that a user may release fuel and ignite the lighter (10) if a low-actuation-force is applied to the actuator. |
