You cannot, however, do that with gasoline.
Yes, you can. A match or a lighter will ignite gasoline vapors. A smoldering cigarette will not.

A cigarette won’t usually light gasoline, if you’re quick and it’s cold enough you can plunge a lit match into gas. Diesel is practically difficult to ignite, I mix it with gasoline for a good, safer firestarter with a longer burn

Kerosene is definitely not gasoline. Kerosene is far more volatile.

Kerosene is far less volatile. Gasoline evaporates more easily.
