Disposable lighters are pretty easy to make though, it's just a lot more expensive to do it here (much more than 25% more). Things will just get more expensive, with maybe a handful of items being made here, but the net result will be more expensive stuff and some new, poorly paying jobs. Yay.

In the off chance that domestic producers can make those goods at a price cheaper than overseas_cost+25% guess what they'll charge? The same high price.
