Have you seen the thread elsewhere about the dangers of cheap "throwaway" cigarette lighters?

How many pax know that these things have been known to explode and start a fire in suitcases
We all know (hopefully
) not to take cans of paint thinner or caustic soda on to aircraft with us, but how many of us realise that cheap lighters are dangerous, and we should carry, at the most one, in our pocket, not in "carry on" or "checked" baggage
It seems that the charter companies are making PAs these days, after holiday resorts started giving a free lighter with a carton of cigarettes. Has anyone seen the
scheduled airlines making this danger obvious to pax? (or is it only me who only realised in hindsight that this could be a danger?)
