Yes smoking is nasty, bad, disgusting, addictive....but some don't want to quit. Didn't Walt Disney himself smoke? :shrug: Oh, what would he say about this subject if he were alive today?
If he hadn't smoked, he might still be alive today to say something. He started smoking when the dangers, including addiction, were not widely known. Warnings have been posted on cigarettes for almost 40 years, so unless you are over 50, you KNEW what you were getting into.
And I dont mean to come off ignorant but who is going to even know I smoked in the room if I dispose of the cig in the toilet and then spray the room down with Oust!
Well said Mom!:wave: You took the words right out of my mouth. I was waiting for someone to play the Walt card and I started thinking that the reason Walt isn't with us today is probably because he was a smoker.
I must add something to that though, it's really sad that people had to have a warning label on cigarettes in order to start thinking that maybe inhaling smoke and tar into your body might not be a healthy thing to do. Prior to the warning label did people actually think that smoking was perfectly harmless?:shrug:
Mr. Disney would be a very old man if he were alive today.If he hadn't smoked, he might still be alive today to say something.

Ya know I am seriously thinking about canceling my trip in 6 weeks and stay off property. Im not one to typically complain but my goodness, smoking is my only bad habit... and yes I can understand the ban most places have of not smoking... like resturants and such and I can live with that and have no qualms about it.
But 6 weeks before my trip that I requested a smoking room and to be now told I cannot is a slap in my face and cant like with it. And I dont mean to come off ignorant but who is going to even know I smoked in the room if I dispose of the cig in the toilet and then spray the room down with Oust!
Well I say good riddance to the smoke.
As for smoking on the balconies, well I paid a lot for my room too. Why should I have to keep my doors and windows sealed against your smoke?
And Cigars?!?! Do people who smoke cigars realize just how much they smell? Even if you are out in the "open air" that smell fills up the air for 100s of feet around you. I know many people that do not find anything pleasing about cigar smoke. So I cannot say that I will be upset to take a nice evening stroll and not have to walk into a cloud of stinky open air.
I know that people will probably have harsh words back for my opinion. Oh well.
I applaude Disney for thier decision!
hahaha...you are clearly speaking of something you know nothing about. You should really research the effects of 2nd hand smoking before deciding to "teach" everyone else. While a few minutes of cigarette exposure will not likely give you lung cancer, frequent exposure will--like what Cast Members can be exposed to (less these days due to the increasing restrictions).
No risk of 2nd hand smoke? The people who actually study its effects would disagree. Props to Disney for clearly paying attention to such papers.

Are you seriously suggesting that the bad effects of 2nd hand smoke are all a government conspiracy? That's hilarious...considering I actually conduct science and understand how these studies were conducted (and have been conducted for decades with the same results), I trust those results. Many of those studies have been conducted here at Yale and at similar independent institutions like Harvard and MIT where there is not a conflict of interests. Since I know some of the scientists who have conducted this work, I trust that it is good science. Most of the studies are funded by the National Institutes of Health--i.e. your tax dollars. There may be some corruption at the NIH, but I don't think they are out to get the cigarette companies, nor does the NIH have any control over the results of studies and their publication.Kyle,
1. Who pays for those studies?
2. Like you said, sparse encounters with smoke aren't a big deal. Therefore, those people who harp about us killing them should really lighten up. It's not an issue with smoking in the parks.
3. No harm to anyone when I'm sitting alone in the middle of the night by the pool or lake.
