Abstract
A valve for a cigaret gas lighter is comprised of a flexible gas conduit extending between a nozzle and a gas tank. The flexible gas conduit is pinched or bent to close the conduit. An operating member pinches or bends the gas conduit to close the conduit by a spring. A manually operable lever is provided to open the conduit by removing the operating member overcoming the spring force. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the conduit is positively opened in addition to removal of the operating member when the gas lighter is to be ignited.
