What about an area for those crying children and their parents who are yelling at them?

Don't know if it is too much time on my hands or a lack of substantial thought in my skull. Either way it make for an entertaining day.
I know as an occasional cigar smoker, I do not like to mix my fumes with that of cigs. So in all honesty they should have a cig smoking area, a cigar smoking area, a pot smoking area, and an assorted meat smoking area.

THAT was good! :lol:
Geez, It sure seems like the world revolves around non-smokers.

That is definitely not the point
I'm sure you didn't mean it, but that comment implies that you feel you should be able to do anything you want, regardless of how it affects anyone else. Please don't give smokers a bad name. There are enough people who do that already.

I’m an asthmatic non-smoker and unfortunately tobacco smoke is a catalyst for my asthma, so I am not a fan of being around lit cigarettes be they indoors or outdoors. The gods of mischief can recognise people like me and will change the wind to ensure a full dose of the smoke.
So, from that angle I think the smoking areas are great. They may have put one slap bang in the middle of a favourite quiet area in MK, but I can live with that. I’m realistic enough to know that nicotine addicts could not go a whole day without a fix and for all those good people who use the smoking areas – thank you.

I don't smoke anymore, but I can remember back in the day, bout 1986, when you not only could smoke anywhere in the parks but you could smoke IN QUE without anyone looking at you wierd.
Now I can only imagine the technicaly there was no smoking in line, and I'm not talking about smoking inside ques that went into buildings, but the Ramp going into Small World, under the awnings going into Haunted Mansion, and Peter Pan all stand out as being smoking friendly to say the least.
Crazy times, quite a bit of partying as well as I remember on a couple of those trips round 85/86.

I don't think that it is a Disney rule not allowing smoking in the entrances to the attractions. Is it not a Florida state law that you cannot smoke in a public building? Any residents lend some credence to this?

My only point was that back then, by and large no one cared if you smoked because it was just so prevelent.
Keeping your cig going half way down the ramp at SM was not a hanging matter, not a capital crime.
Not saying that was good, just a little less .
also,
due to buts being dropped around the park, you had CMs with brooms and the little tilt buckets were everywhere and the kept the whole place constantly clean.

It's not so much that people didn't care, just that people did not speak up and were more likely to suffer (for lack of a better term--- not trying to over-dramaticize) in silence.
My parents were afraid for years to ask my grandmother not to smoke when she came into our house- really- who's afraid of old ladies, anyway? :veryconfu So we all put up with it, and washed the curtains, and aired out the closets, and opened the windows even in the middle of winter. Seeing as how she only lived 45 minutes away, they eventually got tired of it, and asked her to stop.
But then of course we all felt guilty for making her go outside. :brick:
I miss her dearly. She was extremely young for her age and probably would have lived another 20 years at least if not for that little lung problem she ended up with.
...tangent...I know it sounds stupid, but to this day I am so mad she missed my wedding! She would have had SO MUCH FUN!!! I would have played the Macarena just for her (her favorite song to dance to! LOL). Instead I had to settle for her rings pinned inside my dress. ...end of tangent! Sorry, this topic makes me a wee bit emotional for the family I've lost. I'm such a mess :lol:
