No. The air in a dryer is around 90-170 degrees not hot enough to ignite a lighter. The Myth Busters actually did an episode about this where they ran a lighter through a dryer for an extended period of time. They also put a lighter in a toaster oven to find out what temperature it would explode at, it did not happen until it reached 350 degrees.

What happens if you burn gold with a lighter?
Heating gold with a lighter will not cause it to burn or catch fire. Gold is a non-combustible metal with a high melting point of 1,943 degrees Fahrenheit, so a regular lighter cannot generate enough heat to melt or ignite it.
Does a clothes iron generate enough heat to activate heat-shrink tubing?
No, a clothes iron typically does not generate enough heat to effectively shrink heat-shrink tubing. It is recommended to use a heat gun or a specialized heat-shrink tubing tool for this purpose to ensure the tubing shrinks evenly and properly.
Can cigarette butt litter cause forest fires?
Yes, cigarette butt litter can potentially cause forest fires if not properly extinguished. The heat from a discarded cigarette butt can ignite dry vegetation and start a fire, especially in areas prone to drought or high temperatures. It is important to always properly extinguish and dispose of cigarette butts to prevent forest fires.
What must a magnet do to generate an alternating current?
To generate an alternating current, a magnet must use kinetic energy. This means that the magnet must move at a certain speed and velocity in order to create a strong enough energy charge.
When substances absorb oxygen from the air so rapidly that they generate enough heat to ignite it is called pressure combustion True or False?
