You can drop a lit cigarette in kerosene and it will just put the cigarette out. You can also so that with diesel. You cannot, however, do that with gasoline.

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.

Yes, you can. A match or a lighter will ignite gasoline vapors. A smoldering cigarette will not.
