Bic Lighters: Safety Guard Removal

Did you know that Bic lighters have a little child safety lock on the top of them? It's an amazingly unknown fact even amongst rigorous smokers who use Bic lighters every day. Perhaps you've flicked a Bic lighter that has had the child safety device removed; this might have felt particularly smooth and easy in a way you didn't understand. Turns out, you can have this smooth lighter ignition anytime; you just have to remove the child safety lock.

To remove the metal piece that acts as a child safety lock on a Bic lighter, you'll need a small tool like a screwdriver or tweezers. Use the tool to carefully lift the metal piece upward. Be gentle to avoid damaging the lighter or injuring yourself. Once the metal piece is lifted, you can remove it completely, enabling the lighter to function without the child safety feature. Do this step carefully because you can dislodge the wheel and ruin the lighter if you don’t do this step properly.
