Drawing the line will be the hardest part of writing a theoretical law banning electronics in disposable products. And the line will probably be obsolete a few weeks after the law takes effect. Which is why the line should be continuously drawn by a regulatory body, which in America are being an endangered species.

Make a list of tolerated disposable electronics.

RFID chips, maybe (and even then, not sure how much they are needed). What else? I don't think that I consume disposable electronics every day...

So they’ll get rebranded as decorative plastic sticks with a bonus temporary vaping feature, and the packaging will say that you must never throw it away, ever.
I really hope you are starting to understand the difficulty in regulating products like this. A lot of people don’t want to do the right thing.

  The law is meant to be interpreted. If a judge decides that you are bullshitting in order to sell an illegal product, you get a fine.
  All we need is judges who do their job. Which is easier said than done, I'll admit it.
