Only if he dies from it and hasn't reproduced any offsping yet.

I've read stuff about this... click here, then check out the menu on the left and click "Cigarettes" for an article about this sort of thing.

Nobody's saying it can't happen, and smoking near a puddle of gasoline is one of the most mind-bendingly stupid things you can do. But gasoline doesn't ignite that easily.

Reminds me of that scene from "The Birds" of the guy discarding a lighted match in front of a gasoline spill as everybody was waving at him.

Pour gas on him and give him a cigarette and a pack of matches - problem solved.

I've done my own experiments in the past and could not light gasoline with a cigarette.

I saw worse in Baja. I drove by a propane tanker truck that was now on its side by the side of the road. You could smell the propane leaking out. The driver had climbed to the top of the truck and was sitting up there puffing away on his cigarrette waiting for the tow truck. I did not obey the posted speed limit in getting out of there.

Would you rather crash into a tanker truck that has a big red sign that reads "FLAMMABLE" or "INFLAMMABLE?"
