Yep a cigarette cherry is not hot enough to ignite gasoline.

Which is how the human race survived for a long time, I very much remember smoking at gas pumps being a norm in the 80s.

No, it definitely is. It's just that gasoline is relatively hard to ignite and the right air/fuel mixture won't reach the hotter part of the ember.
