Everyone knows that white lighters are Bad Luck. Most people understand it as a fact, even though they may not believe it. But does anyone know the real reason behind it? There are multiple reasons in history why white lighters are considered bad luck. The first reason, is because when disposable lighters first came out, they only came in two colors. Black, and White. Now, when people would try to pack bowls down with their lighters, the ash would often get stuck to the bottom of their lighters. So when they were being investigated by police, white lighters would show signs of smoking and ash burns, and black lighters wouldn't. Another reason revolves around Four Famous Musicians (and Fellow Stoners), Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrex, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain. All four of them were left-handed, and they all died at the age of 27. The coincidence was that all four of their autopsies showed that when they died, they had White Bic Lighters in their pockets. So next time that you are in a sesh, and someone pulls out a White Lighter, throw that shit away or brake it. I have had several personal cases where bad things happened, and every single time we had used a white lighter. Still don't believe me? Keep using your white lighters and you will find out soon.

No Problem! It's always a good conversation starter to tell this story at seshes. And I'd reccomend getting a new one, cause I don't want anything bad to happen to a fellow stoner :)

They were all black in the 60's and the 70's. Rounder too, better for packing bowls.

Never ever break someone's lighter, dude.
That's just playing into karma's hands, making you the administer-er of the bad luck. The bad luck being that you broke their damn lighter.
That's a grade-A party foul.

Marty_Juana Says:

In the process of breaking it probably start a fire because of the bad luck somehow it would happen

What about one of those lighters that are actually white underneath when you tear the cheap wallpaper off of them? (unless you have a solid colored or black lighter) Can those be considered unlucky right off the bat because of it's white interior or only if you take off the wallpaper then revealing the white?

Galeeners Says:

Was asking myself the exact same thing! I would like to believe that it would have the printed sticker exterior, so visually it wouldn't be white.
But then again, point is we'd all know it'd be white no matter what lol

I thought it was yellow lighters that are supposed to be bad luck.

Mr.Huckstable Says:

Also like to add that all Bic lighters are white underneath the color, the white ones just don't have the color coating....and the bottom of all Bic lighters are white so you'd see the ash. And I assume your ignoring all the people who died or got caught with colored lighters...I'm sure if there was a study the numbers would be similar. I hereby dub thee full of shit, you may kiss the bride

Kniphofia Says:

They were only white or black in the 60's and 70's. Everyone used a black one so you couldn't see any signs of weed packing on it. My theory is that this fact slowly turned into a myth revolving around the use of a white lighter as bad.
