"A woman was sniffing propane in the back of a van when her husband entered the van with a lighted cigarette" Do they teach english in journalism school?

"Lighted" is a correct usage.

Maybe in some bizarro world where dogs and cats lie down together, but dangit, it should be lit!

Webster's doesn't even have lighted listed - now I wish I had the OED available.
