A child resistant disposable lighter is disclosed. The design utilizes a safety mechanism which is designed to be difficult for small children to operate and which may be inexpensively and efficiently incorporated into existing disposable lighter designs. The design is presented in several embodiments which have improved effectiveness by operating with regard to anatomical differences rather than solely increasing the strength required to operate such a lighter. Embodiments include mechanisms which utilize a release means that is separated from the conventional lighting means by a sufficient distance to make it difficult for small children to operate. By also focusing on commercial realities, the invention is designed to be easily implemented on a cost efficient basis by existing manufacturers through only a minor modification of existing molds and assembly techniques.
