The Lighter - Disposable is a cheap plastic pocket lighter. It starts fires and gives a faint glow when held. The game groups it with survival gear.
Every survivor needs a way to make fire, and this is the most common one. Its strength is a good number of uses in a very light package. Once it runs dry, it is spent.
It is everywhere gas stations and corner stores are. Zombies in many work outfits carry one too.
Using
The lighter starts campfires and lights candles and lanterns. Light Candle and Light Hurricane Lantern both accept it. Make Toothbrush Shiv also calls for a flame from it.
Kilns and furnaces need a flame to start a batch. Firing bricks, clay pots, tiles and crucibles all accept the lighter. So do Melt Sand and Melt Glass at a furnace.
Held and switched on, it lights a small ring around the holder, about five tiles. The glow is dimmer than the metal Lighter. It serves only as a backup light.
The disposable lighter gives about sixty-six uses, twice the metal Lighter's thirty-two per fill. The Lighter - BBQ gives the same uses but weighs more. The metal Lighter makes up for fewer uses with refills from Lighter Fluid.
Upkeep
A full disposable lighter gives about sixty-six uses. Holding it lit also drains it slowly. A spare or two in the bag keeps fire on hand when one runs out.
Used in Crafting
These recipes accept the Lighter - Disposable by its type rather than by name.

Locations
Gas stations, convenience stores, corner stores and general stores hold one almost half the time. Counters and shelves are the places to check.
Zombies dressed as rockers carry one fairly often. Gas station workers, backpackers, cooks, truckers and sanitation workers carry one now and then. Prison cells and drug shacks are fair spots. Living room dressers and side tables give smaller chances.
