Why Do My Friends Keep Stealing My Lighters

1. Absentminded Borrowing

Most of the time, it’s not intentional theft. People ask to “borrow a light,” use your BIC, and then slip it into their pocket without thinking. Lighting a cigarette, candle, or joint is such a small, quick action that the lighter just stays in their hand.

2. Lighters All Look Alike

Classic BIC lighters are everywhere. When everyone’s using the same red, black, or blue lighter, it’s easy to mix them up—your buddy might honestly think it’s theirs.

3. They’re Portable (and Forgettable)

Unlike borrowing a phone or wallet, lighters are tiny, cheap, and easy to carry off by accident. They don’t feel like “personal property” in the same way, which is why people forget to give them back.

4. The ‘Lighter Thief’ Culture

There’s a long-running joke that lighters are cursed to disappear. Smokers often say, “No one ever buys a lighter—you just find them or lose them.” This playful superstition sometimes makes “lighter stealing” feel less like theft and more like part of the smoking ritual.

The Bic Lighter Curse

The so-called “BIC Lighter Curse” (also called the green lighter curse) is a superstition in smoking and music culture that says carrying a green BIC lighter brings bad luck — especially for musicians, artists, or heavy smokers.

Origins of the Myth

·         Musician folklore: Stories from the 1960s–70s linked several famous musicians (like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain) to having a green lighter when they died. In reality, there’s no verified evidence they had BIC lighters on them — and BIC’s disposable lighters weren’t even on the market until 1973.

·         Counterculture spread: The myth spread through cannabis culture, festivals, and nightlife scenes, where lighters are passed around and often go missing — “green ones disappear” became a common joke.

·         Urban legend effect: Over time, the idea of the “BIC lighter curse” stuck, especially tied to green BIC lighters.

The Reality

·         No actual curse. Green BIC lighters are manufactured and tested the same as every other color. Each lighter goes through 50+ quality checks and provides up to 3,000 reliable lights.

·         Cultural superstition. The curse lives on mostly as a piece of smoker folklore and a tongue-in-cheek joke in music, cannabis, and bar culture.

Fun Marketing Angle

Instead of shying away from green, many brands lean into the legend:

·         “The only lighter bold enough to break the curse.”

·         “Green BIC lighters: legendary, not unlucky.”

 Bottom line: The “BIC lighter curse” is just an urban legend tied to green lighters — but it’s become part of the fun, rebellious culture around lighters, music, and counterculture.
