A lighter is a portable device used to create a flame. Since the early 1800s, a number of designs of lighter have been produced, utilizing a variety of mechanisms and fuels.

Tagging info:

Any post containing a lighter should include this tag. Common styles of lighter include ones with a metal case and a hinged lid (example #1 above); ones with a straight, often colored and sometimes transparent plastic body (example #2); and ones with a long wand to keep the flame further from the hand (example #3).
