People have been smoking cigarettes while pumping gas for years. There is technology on the pump to make sure you will not cause any real damage, unless you shove the cigarette in your gas tank or have a "gasoline fight accident"
Smoking the cigarette isn't the problem, it's lighting it that's stupid. You can throw a lit cigarette into a bucket of gasoline and nothing will happen. Still not denying this girl's level of stupidity, however.
Blackleaf, it can. The temperature of ignition for the gas is around 450º, the temperature in the middle of a lit cigarette being smoked can reach upwards to almost 600º.
Yes, with the right gas concentration you can use a cigarette if you are actually smoking it.
The gasoline doesn't burn with a cigarette, in fact, you can turn off the cigarete in gasoline. The problem is with the gas thank in the car and the gas that release the gasoline.
Myth busters had a whole episode on this shit, including us of mobile phones. They had to work very hard to get some result and you know how they love their explosions ;-) still, stupid cow this one is!
