White lighter myth

The White lighter myth or white lighter curse is an urban legend based on the 27 Club of which several members died while in possession of a white lighter, causing white lighters to be blamed for bad fortune.[1][2] The myth is primarily based on the death of Kurt Cobain and has since been integrated with cannabis culture.[3][4][5]
