IT probably would but you would have to make direct contact which might cause the heat-shrink to shrink unevenly or get flattened. It is usually better to blow hot air at it while you rotate it. A good hair dryer might work equally well. ------ Neither a hair dryer, nor a clothes dryer will work for shrinking most conventional heat shrink tubing. The most common types: PVC and Polyolefin require temperatures of greater than 100C (the boiling point of water). A clothes iron will; however you'll melt the tubing with direct contact, and it will mess up your iron. If you don't own a heat gun, you'll be fine using a cigarette lighter.

Does a clothes dryer generate enough heat to ignite a cigarette lighter?

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.
