A white lighter, also known as an ivory lighter, especially for older lighters, is a type of lighter that is widely considered by cannabis smokers, in stoner culture, as bad luck. It is said that the use of a ‘white lighter‘ to light of joint will lead to bad luck of the user, including an unfortunate death. It’s rumored that 4 members of the legendary 27 club (Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, and Cobain) had a white lighter in their possession at the time of their death.
Origins of this superstition may come from the obvious appearance of soot or ash on a white lighter, indicating that it’s been recently used. Other is that many smokers will cover the bowl while inhaling to slow the burn rate or use the end of the lighter to pack the bowl. These both leave telltale burn or ash marks which would be most apparent with a white lighter.
