The invention discloses an ignition system for smoke sprayers and belongs to the technical field of the smoke sprayers. The ignition system comprises a power supply, an ignition switch, an igniter, an oil tank, a carburetor, a sparking plug, an oil spray nozzle, a combustion chamber and an air pump, wherein the igniter and the air pump are electrically connected with the power supply respectively through the ignition switch, the igniter is electrically connected with the sparking plug, the air pump is respectively connected with the oil tank and the carburetor through air pipes, and check valves are respectively arranged on main paths of the air pipes and branch paths connected with the oil tank. The oil tank is connected with the oil spray nozzle through an oil supply pipe, and an oil supply valve is arranged on the oil supply pipe. The carburetor is connected with the combustion chamber, and the sparking plug and the oil spray nozzle are arranged on a connection pipe between the carburetor and the combustion chamber. By means of the air pump, pressurization of the oil tank is achieved, and air required by ignition is provided. Fuel oil is sprayed out stably under action of positive pressure, mixed fuel oil and the sparking plug are matched accurately, the success rate of ignition is high, and ignition operation is convenient and efficient. Meanwhile, continuous and stable operation of the smoke sprayers is achieved.
