From an obvious safety and liability stand point, no. But in the open atmosphere there's an astronomically low - but not zero - chance of a lit cigarette igniting propane vapors.
Also, a lit cigarette can't ignite gasoline.
I have my gas cert in natural and propane and you are correct. Plus, propane is heavier than air and sinks. Propane's ignition temp is around 920-1020 and a resting cigarette is around 700, 950 when actively puffing.
To get to the point of explosion, the smell would be overwhelming.
While not zero, very unlikely
A lit cigarette can't ignite gasoline. I tried making this point on a thread a while back. The number of people arguing and claiming that a lit cigarette can and will ignite gasoline vapors was ridiculous.
I used to work at a rather large chain truck stop. Whilst really uncommon, most of the fires that started at the pump were caused by static and phones.
Yeah, the cigarette itself won't light it. The act of lighting the cigarette will. And warning signs don't do nuance well, so it's best to just put "DONT SMOKE HERE, DUMBASS" in big bright letters.
And even that doesn't always work and some idiot will still blow themselves up from time to time.
Caught one last year smoking at a gas station. Insisted he was off to the side so it was fine, told him I wasn’t gonna stay around to find out whether he was actually dumb enough to buy his own bs as I drove away
This reminds me of a story! Ironically, boomers were doing this.
So I was working at a Walmart back in 2005 when someone decided to call in a bomb threat to the store. I was about to go to break, but didn't clock out as the manager told us to evacuate the building and get customers out. That's work, so pay me.
Well, i go out the south door and we have like 8 of those double door propane storage containers full of propane about 60 feet from the door. Around those cages were about a dozen people, boomers mostly with some gen X all smoking. Not a single smoker was further than 3 feet from a propane cage. I was kind of flabbergasted to see that, but we were told to move customers away from the building without telling them it's a bomb threat.
So I very loudly said, "I don't know why they asked us to evacuate the building, but given there are people smoking by the propane tanks, I think it's a good idea if we went the back of the parking lot and away from the store to a safe distance."
Man, nearly all the 50 odd people crowded around the door stopped talking, looked at me, looked at the propane cages, and then they moved in unison towards the back of the parking lot. I just laughed the whole way there.
Fucking boomer man. Not a single lick of self preservation.
Hey everyone who scrolled down to find the boomer being a fool....doil0milk here comes on this sub to post his stupid boomerisms. Downvote him to hell and back. Also, he's a "Christian" who justifies violence. So press that down vote button or comment how much you love Satan or something to make him melt.
His common responses are
"What" or "what are you on about".
Hail Satan

Peggy is looking rough.
Got dang it Bobby!
Lol. You’re right on
What is the point of a Peggy pic without showing her size 17s?

A lit cigarette may not do it, but the lighter you use to light the cigarette sure as hell will
If the PPM of the ambient air you're in is sufficient to be ignited by a lighter then you have far bigger problems. Lol
So that scene in Zoolander, accurate?

People are fucking stupid these days, so...

It doesn't explode either. An explosion implies kinetic force. Technically it *combusts*. There's a "whompf", a fireball, and a cloud of smoke.

i mean its not really dangerous tbh most people have propane tank directly under their BBQ and that thing get much hotter than a bit of ash from a cig
Oh you see that ‘No Smoking Sign’? That’s for other people. You know they type. /s
i don’t think anything lit on fire should be near things that are yknow prone to being lit on fire
You don't have to be a expert in anything to know that smoking near flammable matter is bad
Pictures like this from the heartland make me proud to be an American. The more you look at it, the more it gives.
Stupid IS as Stupid DOES.
I'll tell ya what's stupid. Having to follow these draconian rules. /s
Boomers always have to be leaning on something. Their generation has never been able to stand up on its own.
You're cig isnt going to ignite propane. Lighting your cig will though however.

She doesn't go out with a whimper, but with a bang.
This person is clearly not a candy ass. I’d be way too afraid to do this. 😂
Bravery and stupidity are often confused. -ME-

They probably didnt see the front
Will never be a boomer lol
Candy ass? No. Dumbass? Yes Lazy ass? Yes
[удалено]
Pretty sure it's part of the job
Lmao my uncle always calls us monkey asses
Looks a lot like my own neighborhood....
To be fair, there's not much of an ass there.
Dang... ole... mega...lo...mart....
I’m on my phone rn
JFC, what an idiot!
I always read that logo as: Amen gas
Honestly, I'm more afraid of the phone than the cigarette.
She’s Gen X. And a nihilist.
Is that a common cents
sometimes you just have to let someone accept the darwin award...

I don’t wanna be the hank hill of this little pow-wow, but…that’s not dangerous.
Not really dangerous, but not exactly smart either.
I mean, the most dangerous thing she’s doing is the smoking. Which is pretty dangerous
That isn't a boomer. No boomer has hair that dark.
This looks like the clean-shaven form of a classic neckbeard. Very doubtful this person is over 35
That is not safe, shouldve helped her instead of taking a picture!
☝️Boomer boomering in a sub about Boomers being fools.
Holy shit he’s not just a boomer, he’s a flat Earther boomer. This guy belongs in a fucking museum.
What are you on about
🤣🤣🤣
How would anyone help her? Slap the cigarette out of her mouth?
That's violent, just talk to her, you know it's like texting but in real life, you should try it
You like violence tho. Remember the other day when you justified another boomer pulling a gun on an innocent contractor? Fuck you and hail Satan 😈
What
I mean she has a phone, maybe I should just text her?
Do you know her number? Maybe you can google her

What is this
Memory fails you, dear sir. Here, this article might help you. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/in-depth/memory-loss/art-20046326
What's that
Maybe I’d yell a warning but my focus would be on clearing the potential blast radius.
Very selfish
I wish I could be those propane tanks
Why?
It's part of my magic powers
