For smokers who find themselves without a lighter, lighting a cigarette can be a challenge.   However, there are several alternative methods that can be used to light a cigarette without a lighter.   Here are 5 easy methods for lighting a cigarette without a lighter.

1.   Matches: Matches are a common backup option for lighting a cigarette.   They are available in most convenience stores and can be used to light cigarettes just like a lighter.   Strike the match on the striker strip and then hold the match to the end of the cigarette and inhale.

2.   Stovetop: If you have access to a gas or electric stove, you can light a cigarette by holding the end of the cigarette over the burner until the end of the cigarette begins to glow.   It can take a bit more time than using a lighter or matches, so be patient and hold the cigarette steadily.

3.   Car cigarette lighter: If you are in a car, you can use the cigarette lighter in the dashboard to light your cigarette.   Simply push the lighter knob in, wait until it pops out and then hold the tip of the cigarette to the red hot coil.

4.   Candle: Candles are another potential source of flame.   Tilt the candle slightly, so the flame touches the tip of the cigarette.   Be careful not to get the wax on the cigarette, as it can affect the taste.

5.   Another lit cigarette: This may not be the most convenient option, but it is worth a try if it's your only option.   Simply light the tip of your cigarette with another lit cigarette.

In conclusion, while lighters are often the most convenient way to light up a cigarette, there are plenty of alternative methods available.   Whether using matches, a stove, a car cigarette lighter, a candle, or even another lit cigarette, there are many ways to get a flame and get smoking.
