Why does the light socket smoke or pop when the switch is turned on?

It's not suppose to sizzle, you need a new light switch! It might start a fire!!
When a switch makes a noise when turned on, this would indicate a quite worn switch or a switch that is not connected properly.
The audible noise is made from electricity jumping over a small gap.
This jumping does unfortunately create heat and might in worst case cause a fire.
It might be easy enough as just tighten a few screws in order to correct this.
