Can you put a lighter in a checked bag

According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations, you can bring one lighter in your carry-on bag or on your person, but you cannot put it in your checked bag. However, the lighter must be a common lighter that uses a flammable liquid, such as butane, and not a torch lighter. Torch lighters are not allowed in carry-on or checked bags. It's always a good idea to check the latest TSA regulations before traveling.

Do you have to be a certain age to buy a lighter

In the United States, there is no federal age requirement for purchasing a lighter. However, some states and local jurisdictions may have their own laws regulating the sale of lighters to minors. It's best to check your local laws and regulations to be sure. Additionally, many retailers may have their own policies requiring customers to be a certain age to purchase lighters.
