horay for non smokers. now they need to make it a nation wide law. seriously, I am allergic and do not need to sit near anyone smokeing. and non smokeing areas are a joke because either people do not follow the rules or they put the smokeing area so close to the non smokeing area it dosn't make a diffrence. we walked out of many a resturant because of this.

Meega, nala kwishta!
From reading the admendment, it is pretty specific to indoors, so unless Disney decides to just ban smoking on their property for some reason, I think everything will just stay the same as it is now with the possiable exception of a couple of establishments at PI.

Curious to hear the changes this will bring to WDW since it was so restricted anyway. Sea World is the place that needs the restrictions.Originally posted by GaryT977
It looks like Florida's Amendment 6 has passed, which will really cut back on the number of smoking areas in the state, including WDW. Since I'm on the patch (again), it won't affect me much, but for you smokers... :lookaroun
(and Jeb Bush stole another one. DAMMIT!)
And I wouldn't call 56% of the vote a "steal."

There is a place for people who don't like crying babies -- it's called YOUR HOME.
(I'd rather suck in second-hand smoke all day than comments like that.)

And by the way Jeb Bush didn't steal anything. He won fairly, just as George W. did in 2000. It was by such a clear margin this time, that the democrats can't cry and whine, and file lawsuits for recounts until they get the outcome they want. :sohappy:

Thank you. Not all of us are bad, although some of the people here will contest, due to their maybe once bad experience.
Yes, we've been quite limited for a while, although we do have smoking areas throughout each park. Most of them are off in a corner, no cover while it's raining, etc. But it's better than nothing I guess.

I don't think smokers are bad people but I also don't think that *most* are aware of how offensive, their habit is to non-smokers.
I know that it wasn't until after my mother had totally quit that she became aware of that stale musty smell that hangs on just about anything that has been in an environment with smokers for any length of time or the uncomfortable feeling of inhaling the smoke in the air as you walk past a person smoking.
I have noticed that those who do seem to understand, tend to be a lot more polite about how, when and where they do it and to that end, if you aren't doing it around me, aren't doing it around anyone I care about (I've lost three family members to it) and you aren't someone I care about, I say have at it - puff away.
As for the crybaby thing, perhaps you could come down here and petition to have it come up in the next elections.
Since the vast majority of Florida voted this into law, I'm guessing that it isn't just a few crybabies that have a problem with it... How many smokers do you think voted for it?

In a place like Disney World or a restaurant I am happy that smokers aren't in with the rest of the crowd. If they need to smoke there is no reason it can't be done outside a restaurant or in an area away from others in a theme park.

Yea, for me though those sweet innocent children aren't doing anything to physically harm me, they can cry all they want, but those 5 screaming kids, aren't subjecting my lungs to second hand smoke.
And yes, a bunch of smokers did vote in favor of the amendment, cause they actually have respect for non-smoker's rights. I'd LIKE to think the majority of smoker's do have respect for non-smokers.
I know where this thread is headed, but it's so damn fun, I love talking about smoking.

I have a friend who smokes and won't even do so in his own house but you don't run across people like that very often and I see people in Disney doing it where they aren't supposed to be all the time.
As far as the smokers agreeing to the non-smoking thing, I think we are going to have to agree to disagree. I think, if so many cared, the smoking section of restaurants would not be as busy as they are. If the majority of smokers didn't feel it was appropriate to smoke in these kinds of places, we wouldn't need a law to keep them from doing it.
When I was younger and worked at a Mc Donald's, we went smoke free and you wouldn't believe how hard it was to enforce. You would go out into the lobby and there would be people smoking using any number of things as ashtrays with total disregard to the signs posted. When we asked them to put them out or to go outside with them, many got indignant - then again, they knew they weren't supposed to be smoking there to begin with so they were probably not a good representation of all smokers.

I see a loooooong thread ahead...... LOL :animwink:
I was a second hand smoker for about 9 years with an ex-bf, then moved to Orlando and got "disintoxicated" of it!
Since then I added one more thing to the list of atributes in a man -my list is already too long as you can picture it... too picky I know, I know - : my prince charming has to be a non smoker! lol
Seriously though, the smoke irritates my nose and it itches inside that is not even funny. Not to mention my throat and my eyes getting irritated in a place with smoke. The worst part comes when you want to go to bed and your long hair smells so bad that you can´t fall asleep and you are not really in the mood to take a shower and wash it at that time of the night, because that would wake you up!
