Only if WAR were declared...

Disney: "No more smoking areas."

Now Disney will need to start selling nicotine gum and patches.

Personally? I think the smoking ban is to combat the future marijuana legalization. It's going to eventually be recreational. They don't want the hassle. JMO. They had no problem with smoking sections for almost five decades now. The timing is interesting. Hope folks aren't thinking Disney is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts ...

Well, they can't profit from it so yes they want to make sure you don't have a "good time" unless you are buying it from them, which is their right

I can see it now... Mickey Skunk, right next to the macaroons and Goofy Snacks.

Oh I agree that's also part of it. They benefit from alcohol sales. They don't sell cigarettes or vaping equipment (or medical marijuana)

Correction - Disney DOES sell cigarettes. For example, the various "general stores" at resorts, like the Boardwalk or Disney Springs.

Wonder if they will stop selling it now that they're banning it in the parks. It'd be nice; some of those cigars are awful.

Not holding my breath on it, though.

I say make an area where smokers can smoke and "service animal" owners can have their pets relieve themselves all in the same area!

 

[backinaction]

Uh oh. I suspect the lines to get into bathroom stalls are about to get much longer. No cameras in there. And the smell of a little vape won't be the thing you notice in a Disney bathroom.

yea, I have a feeling once Disney sees the state of the bathrooms they will quickly put the smoking sections bak

Yea wonder what the fate of the tobacco store will be in Disney Springs? Pretty ironic if they ban smoking but not the smoke shops and cigarettes at the general stores.

That's exactly what they have in MK outside of big thunder mountain

I see what you did there...

 

[Bocabear]

I mean... smokers can just plan now when they need a smoke break and then schedule it into their day. How do smokers survive at work or on a long flight?

Will their be a fastpass plus for the smoking area outside the park? lol

Possibly... But I doubt it. People that need butts will leave the property to get them if necessary. And that's the LAST thing Disney wants, moral high ground or not. Just like there being no clocks in casinos and getting oxygen pumped in.

Will the be Mickey shaped?

They do? I wasn't aware of that. But the resorts have always had a smoking policy and it makes more sense to say "um, duh folks, no smoking in the hotel rooms ..."

I've never actively looked for cigarettes on property lol

 

[Jeremy Geertsema]

Love this decision. Bravo Disney!

 

[BoarderPhreak]

ROFLMAO... I can see it now - WDW at night.

That's what bathrooms (with fans) are for.

Smoke detectors in all the restrooms (if not already there ) will be an easy way of policing this. Smokers are more likely to light up in out of the way outdoors areas.

It's easy to say that until you smoke

But I do agree, I've never understood not being able to go a few hours without. But addiction is real.

Many just don't understand it and I wish folks would get off their soapboxes about it.
