A cigarette-shaped gas lighter suitable for carrying in a conventional cigarette pack. The gas lighter includes a solid main body having a mounting base, a spark generating unit having a lighter flint and a serrated spool sparker, a gas injection regulating unit including a cylinder and a gas regulating member received in the cylinder such that the gas inlet chamber is received in the cylinder and the gas nozzle protrudes out of the main body. A lever pin is provided for lifting the gas injection regulating unit to allow gas to be projected from the gas nozzle, a cap having a gas recharger is hermetically screwed on the bottom of the main body with a packing interposed therebetween, and a top cover is mounted on the mounting section of the main body and having a flame projection opening for allowing a flame to rush to the outside of the gas lighter. The gas regulating member includes a gas inlet chamber which communicates with the gas nozzle as well as with the inside of the cylinder.
