A lighter (10) of the disposable type, ignition of which requires depression of an actuator (16) that is resistant to the manipulations of unintended users. The lighter (10) is normally maintained in a position (figure 2) that prevents depression of the actuator (10) through the incorporation of a mechanism (18, 20, 52, 56) that increases the difficulty of operation. The safety mechanism (18, 20, 52, 56) requires displacement in two directions in order to allow full depression of the actuator and activation of an ignition means (22). When the mechanism is so displaced through the application of force by a user, it cannot remain displaced without continuous application of such force and will return to the normal, blocking, position when the force is removed.
