The real danger appears to lie in lighting a cigarette with a match or lighter amidst relatively contained gasoline vapor, not so much in smoking an already lit cigarette in open air around a gasoline pump. The spark from a lighter might create the most risk. Nonetheless in such a situation I might become sufficiently uncomfortable to hit the cutoff switch and call 911.
