I know that when all the airport restrictions started my wife had to throw her lighter into a bin before we got to the x-ray machine. Must say that we’ve not notice if the restriction has been lifted on cigarette lighters the last time we were abroad.

Would'nt bother taking one on the plane, by "SOME" over there. Deaf & dumb guy that works the bars over there is a "genuine" guy raising money for a very charitable cause. His stocks of re-chargable lighters change with every trip, very cheap as well. He just silently walks around the bars with his "I.D" placed on the bar tables along with his products. Although I've never really smoked I always buy a couple off him as gifts for smoking friends back home, please support him, many of you regular visitors will know him !!!!

We usually buy from the same guy - usually in the Barbacoa - got a really cool guitar shaped one last time - can't remember if it was put in cases or hand luggage though!!
