    Karhy, I should think the safety aspect should itself be quite
    sufficient! In one of the classes I attend. One woman kept bringing
    in cutane cigarette lighters, and she would leave one lying on the
    table. One day a man came in, lit his torch with the striker, and
    happened to point it in the general direction of the lighter. He said
    the torch was at least 2 feet away from the lighter.  There was a big
    "POOF" as it exploded. *He would be blind today if he had not been
    wearing glasses!*
