Why all the hate? Party on, page 68!

I’ve never smoked in my life, but it seems those years bartending were worse for me than I realized.

The link between secondhand smoke and cardiovascular disease and cancer is a hot topic, with conflicting evidence due to methodological differences and other factors. My main takeaway is for you not to despair at all (especially since it's over and done with). The one thing that is certain is that we can overcome any possible mortality risk by exercising and controlling our weight. Also being happy and vacationing at WDW is bound to help as well, right?

But not planning a vacation at WDW, this much I can tell you. I'm keep getting afraid. I conquer the smoking glitch, map out the crowded times, and now, I feel that I'll feel outclassed by businessmen in pinstriped suits walking their purebred poodles and ladies with princes and princesses for children. At least Sam will do nothing, which means he won't kick me out.
(I feel bad about being on this site so much, but it's really the only one that has all the categories and information that will really help.)

Goodnight Epcot!

Millennia of human progress, as magnificently summed up by Spaceship Earth, and that’s what we end up with?

No worries people, it’s not harmful.

I’d rather not take your word for it.

My dad is one of those people who sneaks indoor puffs of his e-cigarette when he thinks he can get away with it (not at Disney—he’s not a fan). It’s just another form of smokers’ self-entitlement.

The CM's will not have to enforce the ban because the guests will. Disney will start a new upcharge experience for non smoking guests. For $199 you get a small water pistol and a whistle. When a participating guest spots a vaper or smoker breaking the rule in a park, they will use the whistle and then yell out "SMOKER!" or "VAPER!" and then start squirting the offender. When other participating guests hear the whistle and yell, they will also start to squirt the rule breaker and continue to squirt them until the rule breaker runs out the front gate and security area to the authorized location. They will then have a smoke free park and make some money doing it!

Please don’t take my word on it. After over 20 years of studies, the main problem is that it contains nicotine and it’s a addictive drug like I’ve said before, just like caffeine. That’s why when you hear a report today about many more people vaping, they say it’s bad. The reason, people are getting hooked on nicotine. Again, nicotine doesn’t cause cancer. If you go to most reputable juice makers you don’t have the problem that some articles will mention about harmful chemicals in the juice. It should have PG(propylene glycol)VG( vegetable glycol) water, and a flavoring additive. All things you ingest most everyday in some form. And nicotine if you want it. Most people I know that vape have reduced down to zero on the nicotine.

UK experts urge smokers to switch to e-cigs for big health gains

Vaping, or using e-cigarettes, poses only a fraction of the health risk of tobacco smoking and should be encouraged among smokers to reap substantial health benefits, British public health experts said on Tuesday.

The only thing worse than a cigarette smoker whining about this....is a person that complains about Disney prices....PLEASE...just go somewhere else for vacation....

Delightful.

Ive never taken a puff of a cigarette, tobacco product or weed in my entire life. Not one.

So unless I’m getting nicotine in some other way I’m unaware of (do Oreos count?), then I don’t believe I'm addicted.

My dad stopped smoking when I was in 5th grade. I have a distinct memory of Tyler Bloomer asking me in 3rd grade “does your mom or dad smoke?” To which is answered “yes”, and then he said “because you smell like it”. I remember it like it was yesterday.

I don’t like cigarettes, if that isn’t clear enough. But I also don’t get butthurt about smokers and act like they’ve personally wronged me. I’m not going to waste my angst on that.

I was just commenting on the absolute lunacy that commenters here are trying to equate walking by a smoking area as something that could potentially kill them.
Let me repeat that, because it warrants repeating: There are commenters here stating that walking by a smoking area could kill them.

If you agree with that, then we don’t need to continue this diatribe.

Same.

ARE THE POORS GONE YET???

 

[The Empress Lilly]

I'm a little embarrassed, now. I have tea with Fairy Godmother all the time. My mother looks dead onto her to the point that we got her a powder blue hoody robe one Christmas.
My father smoked on Main Street. In the 70's. I have the definite memory of him having to watch the 1776 parade at noon every day he was there. The Spirit of '76 would start the parade, (Fifer, drummer and flag bearer) and he just loved it. I can see him now my mind's eye, smiling, sitting on the curb in his JCPenney plaid Bermuda shorts, holding a cigarette down by his shoes. I think that was his happiest, and back then, I don't think they allowed drinks.

In the '70s the MK was full of fa gs, and if you were seen with one, often a custodian would follow you around to check your butts.

How times have changed. There was also a Tobacconist on Main Street, but no alcohol anywhere. (Possibly in King Stefan's Banquet Hall)

The links I posted were about the fumes’ effects on the rest of us, not the health risks to the vapers themselves.

I will not buy this tobacconist, it is scratched...

You can smoke a kazoo...

There's a risk to absolutely everything for someone. People are allergic to Carrots and Apples for heaven's sake. Or the scents in the bathrooms. Society and Disney doesn't need to look out for the .000000001%. The .000000001% needs to look out for themselves.

If you're risking death because you are exposed to second hand smoke for mere seconds in an open-air environment, then quite possibly, Disney World isn't the place for you. In fact, I don't know how you're alive today to tell your story.

According to the new rules, the parks aren't the place for smokers...

Is why I said you have no worries sleeping in that room you are that just had vapors in it. The effects on you. Again, no worries.

But they’re not “just vapours”, as the links I posted demonstrate.

 

[larryz]

Well, I do declare, this whole thread is just giving me a bad case of the vapors...

 

[NormC]

If you think it is just water vapor why not just inhale the steam over a hot cup of coffee or tea? Or just hang out in your steamy shower. Clearly it is more than water vapor or you wouldn't be wasting time and money on a personal sized teapot.

For some, it's about taste as well as the physical/psychological habit. If you've never been addicted to anything, you will lack an ability to understand the nuances and how addiction to smoking slightly different for everyone.
