  1. Step 1 Metti la sigaretta in bocca.
    Hold the filter at the end of the cigarette between your lips;you can hold it using your index finger and thumb, or you can choose to use your index finger and middle finger.[2]
    • Make sure you have the part of the cigarette with the filter in your mouth;you can tell because this end often has a different color and there is cotton inside it.
    • If your cigarette has no filter, you can hold either end between your lips.
  2. Step 2 Accendi la fiamma.
    Grab the lighter by placing your thumb over the wheel that creates the spark.Push your thumb down while holding down the gas release button;the other fingers should grip the lighter along its body.[3]
    • Some lighters have a button instead of a wheel;in this case, you have to proceed in the same way, except that you have to press the button with your thumb.
    • It's easier to turn it on if you use your dominant hand.
  3. Step 3 Porta la fiamma vicino alla punta della sigaretta.
    Keep the button pressed during this phase and let the cigarette be above the flame.
    • If you keep the lighter lit for a long time, the metal becomes very hot due to heat transfer.[4]
    • Stand behind a wall or protect the flame by cupping a hand around the lighter to prevent it from going out.
  4. Step 4 Inspira mentre la fiamma è ancora a contatto con l'estremità della sigaretta.
    In this way, the air passes through the tobacco of the cigarette, allowing it to be lit;two or three aspirations are sufficient.Once the cigarette is lit, release the lighter button.
    • If you exhale through the cigarette, the flame at the tip increases.[5]

  1. Step 1 Prendi un fiammifero dalla sua scatola.
    Remove it from the container and hold it with your index finger and thumb.Matches are on sale at the main tobacconists and supermarkets.
    • You can buy the ones that light up by rubbing them on any rough surface or the safety ones, which only light up thanks to the sandpaper on the package.[6]
    • Some shops and bars give away personalized matches as gadgets.
  2. Step 2 Strofina il fiammifero sulla carta vetrata.
    Holding it firmly with one hand, rub it on the ignition strip located on one side or back of the box.
    • The friction that is generated between the sandpaper and the match activates the combustion of the red phosphorus that covers the tip of the stick, transforming it into white phosphorus.[7]
  3. Step 3 Porta il fiammifero vicino alla punta della sigaretta.
    While the flame is still alive, bring it closer to the cigarette, making sure it surrounds the entire end.Protect it with your other cupped hand to prevent it from going out.
    • It's not easy to light a match when it's raining or windy.
  4. Step 4 Inspira attraverso la sigaretta.
    Draw on the side of the filter to start the tobacco burning, but do so quickly, as the flame continues to burn the stick;If the match is almost completely burned out, blow it out and light another.
  5. Step 5 Soffia sulla fiamma per estinguerla.
    Be sure to blow out the match completely after lighting the cigarette;Dropping a lit or glowing match can cause a serious fire.You can also quickly wave your hand to put out the flame.

  1. Step 1 Usa un accendino per barbecue come alternativa a quello normale.
    Although these tools are designed for setting fire to charcoal, they are a quick solution for lighting a cigarette when you don't have matches or a traditional lighter;they typically have a long stem and a handle with a button.[8]
    • Light the cigarette as you would with any disposable lighter.
  2. Step 2 Accendi il fornello per avere rapidamente una fiamma.
    If you don't have any matches or lighter at home, turn on the gas stove and hold the cigarette to the flame.Carefully light the burner and, using your hand, place the tip of the cigarette on the flame;when it has caught fire, try to vacuum through the filter.
    • Don't put your face close to the stove, otherwise you can get burned.
    • If you smell gas and don't see the flame, put the cigarette away, leave the house immediately and call 115 (fire brigade emergency number).[9]
  3. Step 3 Sfrutta la punta incandescente della sigaretta di un'altra persona per accendere la tua.
    If you are in the company of other people and don't have a lighter or match available, you can ask another person to "lend" you their still lit cigarette.Simply let the two ends touch each other as you draw from the filter of your cigarette.
    • This is a great opportunity to start a conversation with a stranger.
  4. Step 4 Usa un accendino Zippo alimentato a gas.
    The procedure is very similar to that required with a normal disposable lighter.Check that it contains enough liquid gas;some models even produce a wind-resistant flame.[10]
    • Closing the lid of the Zippo lighter turns off the flame.

Warnings

  • Smoking increases the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke and chronic lung disease.[11]
  • Pregnant smokers put the baby at greater risk of birth defects.[12]
  • Leaving a lit cigarette behind can cause a fire.
