The invention concerns a lighter (10, 60, 90) comprising a device generating a flame whereof one part called an actuator (14) is mobile along a longitudinal axis between a neutral position, wherein said device cannot generate a flame and an active position, wherein said device can generate a flame, and a safety mechanism (30, 62, 94) mobile between a locked position, wherein said safety mechanism locks the actuator in its neutral position, and a released position allowing said actuator to move towards its active position. The invention is characterized in that the safety mechanism comprises a safety member (32, 64, 96) having a part said to be active (46, 72, 102, 128) which, when the safety mechanism is in locked position, is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis (ZZ') of the actuator in the direction thereof SO as to be arranged against a stop (34, 106, 14, 119a) and, when the safety mechanism is in released position, is arranged opposite a housing (37, 112, 132). In a new embodiment, a safety mechanism utilizes one button to contact both the child safety mechanism and also the piezo unit activator. The activation button has a space for a flipper, which is either pivotally secured or integrally formed with the activation button. The safety mechanism also includes a stopper on the activation button, which limits the downward movement of the activation button. The activation button translates downward sufficiently to operate the fuel-release lever opening the fuel-discharge valve. However, in order to activate the piezoelectric unit, the flipper must also be depressed a further distance than the activation button and rotated about a button axis to generate a spark to ignite the fuel released by the fuel-release lever and fuel-discharge valve.
