An improved electronic lighter with a safety device includes a liquid gas container and a seat provided on a top end of the gas container, the seat having disposed thereon a gas nozzle and a piezo-electric element controllable by a press button means. The press button means consists of an upper cover and a press cylinder capable of slidable engagement. The press cylinder is a hollow structure having two hook-like ends which may be movably inserted into a pair of second guide slots located slightly to the back of a pair of first guide slots of an electrode plate of the piezo-electric element. The upper cover has two hook-like ends at a front end thereof for matching the hook-like ends of the press cylinder such that the hook-like ends of the upper cover are retained by a step portion near an upper end of each second guide slot when the lighter is not in use. A spring element is disposed between the upper cover and the press cylinder such that, after the upper cover is moved backwardly so that its hook-like ends lap over the hook-like ends of the press cylinder in the second guide slots, the upper cover and the press cylinder may be pressed downwardly to press the spring element to achieve ignition.
