we Don't hate the people just the actions of some of them. aside from the smell of second hand smoke, The smoking areas most of the times have people spread out and stand right in the middle of the path and blow their smoke towards the guest walking areas.

The worst smoking areas within Disneyland and DCA are right in the middle of main walking paths or near them. In DCA, the gorgeous grizzley trail that takes you near the waterfalls and some of the best parts of the park gets inundated by smokers that feel they own the whole path and spread out.
Maybe Disney should consider putting a smoking lounge in the second floor of innoventions. They can set up a drink and snack station and it would keep smokers away from the walking paths. The profit from the drinks and snacks would help offset the cost of setting up the area.
