The utility model relates to a safety electric lighter. The operation of a press handle of the existing electronic lighter is not limited, so accidents are easy to generate, and even public safety is endangered. The safety electric lighter is characterized in that a through hole is arranged on the upper end of a push rod; the upper end of a hammer positioned in a cavity of the push rod can extend out the through hole; a switch matched with the press handle is arranged on the press handle; a reset spring is arranged between the switch and the press handle. The utility model uses the positioning function of the hammer to extend the upper end; a blind hole on the push rod is changed into the through hole. Thus, the matching relationship of the upper end of the hammer and the through hole of the push rod is formed. If the switch is not opened in advance, the press handle is hindered and limited, so the push rod can not be pushed to move down, and the safety electric lighter can not work. A safety mechanism can effectively control the work state of the press handle, prevents misoperation, and raises the safety performance of the safety electric lighter.
