who or how ?? 
Anyway current can't flow through gases, it needs a wire or something that can pass currents through it. However if there is any medium inside the gas (like e.g. metal) then it can pass current through it.
Its my logic though

Oh My bad, how :p
I found
To send a current through gas in a tube, then, a fluorescent light needs to have two things:
Free electrons and ions

Yaldaram is pretty much right . It really depends on the gas. I mean I'm sure we've all been shocked by static electricity before touching something so it can happen. But, it's not the most efficient way.
You can also find examples of light bulbs being powered by Tesla coils.
It's nearly impossible to control effectively though. But, like anything current is just moving one electron to the next atom.
