Do all lighters have this thing?

ok i got a bic disposable CIGARETTE lighter with me and i know u gotta press the little safety button then turn the whell in ur direction until a flame lights. i get that fine. but do all lighters have this safety button thingy? ive seen ones with just a wheel (ones u have to fill ex. Zippo lighters) so...how does that work? do u turn the wheel continously until whatever is lit and then just stop turning it or what?

Answer:
no, a zippo doesn't have a safety feature, just turn the wheel the same was as your bic to light, then close the lid to extinguish...i have been buying disposable bics that have a different, much easier-to-use safety feature...it just has a little metal circle around the wheel that you push down while you're lighting...i don't like the way my cigarettes taste when i use a zippo.
What in gods green earth does this have to do with HEALTH?? Please try posting this in the correct category!!
I think you might need to seek professional help. Who cares about how lighters work! The Zippo lighters work the same way as your Bic lighter, it just doesnt have the safety button for the kids. When you turn the little metal wheel it rubs against another piece of metal creating a spark. There is gas in the lighter which catches that spark and lights up. When you are done lighting things, you let go of the button and you no longer twist the wheel, Gas is no longer coming out and there is no more sparks. Thus the fire is gone! TA DA.
zippos only go out when you close the lid
Yep, they are all now stinking child proof! But that now makes them drunk proof...lolol
I don't know about thoses, but there are some lighters that you only have a switch on them. I light a lot of insense, but I have no clue how to light the regular lighters (I'm only 14, so really I don't need to know) Although you have to push hard to light it, it's much easier then the lame wheels:)
Next time you should go into another section so you won't get a bunch of comments about how you're in the wrong section...you'll get better answers anyway.
