I am not a smoker so it has no impact on me. I am not surprised by this. It’s good PR and it reduces costs related to smoking.
What it really is, it’s all about control.
Having said that, there will be folks who smoke where and when they want to.
And as you say, enforcement will be the issue and not worth the trouble to these poor cast members to (try) to enforce it, especially when the guest is knowingly breaking the rules.

We had a brain fade and went to Epcot late afternoon/early evening on a Saturday during Food and Wine once. Never again.

Back in August there were a few people who just lit up while walking thru the parks. One female CM told the male that he couldn't smoke and he just walked by ignoring her. Then I said something, then a few more people chimed til he finally put it out. Of course that was by tossing it on the ground and stepping on it and leaving it there. I just called him a scumbag and kept walking. I can guarantee he's one of the people that ruined it for smokers.
Someone should invent anti-drunk goggles. They'd work just the opposite of "drunk goggles;" instead of making people look more attractive, they'd effectively filter out all the drunk people from your field of view.
You must have a pair of the anti-drunk goggle prototypes.

It can be. Every time we have ever gone there has been someone staggering drunk around World Showcase. One guy even staggered over toward my wife as if he was going to fall on or grab her. If his friends had not grabbed him to steady him and prevent him from latching onto her I likely would have laid him out right there. People want to drink at Disney then fine but if you cannot hold your liquor then don't drink at Disney. I know someone personally that intentionally drinks to get obliterated drunk when he goes to Disney.
It’s not all day, every day, or everyone but Drunkytown is a legit thing.

Plenty of places outside of Disney to drink yourself to oblivion and puke over other people, but, Disney does nothing to stop the 'Drinking Around The World' brigade. The only way to avoid them is go to EPCOT Monday to Thursday and be out of there by 4 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
As for no smoking in the parks, don't make me laugh, I've only ever seen one CM ever tackle a smoker and that was in the days of designated areas. People happily and openly smoke despite the parkwide bans because they know no one will do anything.

Oh, I am one! ...but to be fair you wouldn't know unless you paid more than average attention.
I have also never yacked in the bushes. I have seen that, and draw the line a little before that happens.

You're almost on point with what I'm saying. I'm not saying that I haven't seen someone drunk there. I'm just saying it's minimal. I don't even know how many times I've been to F&W. I'm gonna guess somewhere between 50-75 times. Consider the amount of people in the park on any given day and then how many you will actually cross paths with. The park holds 110,000. Lets say it's half full on any given day. and you cross paths with 5%. You see 1 drunk. thats a low number.

I saw (but mostly heard) a brigade of tipsy Woo! girls once at Epcot, but that's about the worst of it.
But then again, I don't visit nearly as often as some on here.

Walk me through that analytical process please?
For the record. Smoking is not "banned". It's just been designated outside the parks. There are spots all over the resort (hotels, DS, Boardwalk, FW) that have designated spots.
Also, for the record. At least one person on every EPCOT "Drinking Team" is hammered. One is "really buzzed", a few "comfortably numb" - and there's always one that looks like they are having a really, really bad time.

I'm usually somewhere between comfortably numb and really buzzed if we're drinking around Epcot, depending on how much I've eaten at that point. I knew something was off when my wife was like, "Let's take a selfie." So here we are grinning into the phone... no flash went off... pause... wife goes "you're taking a video." Oh. It's a keeper though. Wife still laughs about it.
Correct. It’s a long walk from World Showcase to the park entrance.
