Refill your lighter, but try to give up smoking.

Lighters allow you to quickly and effectively start a flame. Many people use lighters for smoking cigarettes or cigars. You can also use a lighter to start a campfire or charcoal barbecue. Always exercise caution when using a lighter. The same holds true for refilling your lighter. Only refill your lighter if the product label states that the lighter can be refilled. Do not attempt to refill a standard lighter intended for one-time use.
