A torch comprising: a can for storing fuel; a valve movably installed on the can between a closed position and an open position; a tube having a first section and a second section, with the tube in communication with the valve; a controlling device movably installed on the can, with the controlling device movable relative to the tube between a releasing position for leaving the valve in the closed position and a lifting position for lifting the valve to the open position; a nozzle on the first section of the tube in order to spray the fuel; an igniter installed on the second section of the tube in order to ignite the fuel; and a first switch rotatably connected on the controlling device, with the first switch rotatable between a normal position and an igniting position, with the first switch in the normal position abutting with the tube and preventing relative movement of the controlling device relative to the tube with the controlling device being in the releasing position, with the first switch in the igniting position allowing movement of the controlling device into the lifting position so that the controlling device can only be pushed through the first switch after the first switch is turned from the normal position and relative to the controlling device.
