My husband is a heavy smoker and sometimes after waiting a really long time in line for something he can be going bonkers by the time we leave the attraction. About 3 years ago he purchased one of those Blu eCigs to take with him on our trips. As I'm sure many of you know, these little things are pretty neat in that nothing comes out of them until you inhale from them (suck on the end) and what you exhale is just vapor. There's no smoke and nothing "bad" about what is exhaled. It's a perfect solution for those moments in line. He can pull it out, take a few hits from it and be good to go.
Here in NC it's against the law to smoke in public buildings/locations (i.e. stadiums) but most businesses have started putting up these little signs in their windows next to the "No Smoking" signs that say "eCigs Ok." We asked a lot of folks locally, including some law enforcement folks, and they said ultimately the laws are written to say no smoking and that it is very specifically "no lighting something on fire that produces smoke" kind of thing. In otherwords, unless a business specifically has a policy to not allow it for whatever reason, there's nothing legally saying you can't.
Anyway... it's never been an issue when we've been in lines or anything and it certainly helps get through those long waits (or long walks between smoking areas). We actually had a CM ask him about it on this last trip curious how they work (he was obviously a smoker who has to deal with cravings while on "duty" at the attraction). I'm curious though, given that it seems most states kind of say the same thing about them and it's really up to a business to say whether or not they are allowed, has Disney made any move to specifically say one way or another?

My DH is a smoker, and has yet to try e cigs. We always use the smoking sections ( stinky). We'll see...
