Yeah, I never understood this. Vape smells terrible and hate when I am around it. My workplace (a hospital) had to finally ban it because patients were complaining.

My reference was more toward the conversation than the new rule which will likely not be enforced to the level it will need to be.
that is within spitting distance of the oasis, plus the wind is usually from that direction

When they say outside the parks, do they mean outside the security zone?
If it's not, you're first impression of the park will be a lot of people smoking or the bag check lines are about to get a whole lot busier.

You asked. I answered with one park area outside of the main entrance way. i feel wherever i say will be wrong in your eyes. so enjoy the rest of your day .
The only way this works is if they forbid tobacco products inside the gate, Disney wouldn’t have to be strict about it for everyone but if someone complains about another person smoking it would empower CM and security to ask that person to turn out their pockets if they have smoking parafenalia you either turn it over or get kicked out.

I'll continue to use my vape pen.
So will many others.
This will just spread it all around the parks b/c a whole lot of the cartridges are concentrated enough now that it takes very little vapor to get the desired affect.
It will probably get rid of cigarettes, though, b/c that'd be next to impossible to hide in plain sight. But, I could use that vape pen all day and no one would ever notice....or ever has noticed....if I wasn't in a designated area.

Case in point of people believing they are above the rules .

No, no, no....not above the rules, just don't care so long as I don't bother anyone else. If I got "caught" I certainly wouldn't be "above the rules" as they escorted me out of the park.
I'm just saying that will be the way I handle it. I'm quite sure I'm not that unique, so others will too. All Disney is doing is spreading it around the parks.
you are very naive to believe no one has ever noticed.

Ignoring the rules is the same as stating you are above them. Because you are not following the rules. And trust me, people notice when you vape. Just like with people who think they can drink alcohol and no one notices. The smell is there. They just dont say anything.

Ehh, maybe, but I doubt it since people in my own group never notice.

It's not, actually. Being "above them" would be "These rules don't apply to me b/c I'm special." I don't believe that. I'm choosing to ignore the rule, and deal with the consequences - which is different. If I get caught I'll admit fault and pay the price.

It's about time! As a former smoker who visited the parks I avoided the smoking areas and stuck to the nicotine gum. I felt weird about making my kids sit around and wait for me at the happiest place on earth while I indulged my habit (not magical). The inconvenience of smoking played a part in me quitting so hopefully this will encourage some other folks to consider doing the same. As for vape pens I'm less concerned about it as the 2nd hand risks are minimal but that industrial smoke stack worth of vape smoke is obnoxious.

Unless they don't allow cigarettes to be brought into the parks to begin with. I'm hoping this is how it will work.

I think the conversations will be “passionate”...but in no way indicative of the realities of how big or small an issue this is.

Well, if you can't bring loose ice in will security check ask people to leave their smokes outside when they notice it during bag check?
