Agree that it's a Disney issue of where they placed smoking areas. If it's a designated smoking area, then it's all good. The issue should not be with smokers, but with Disney.

There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.

Well, with the poorly designed areas, it's almost as if you have to walk past one whether you want to or not.
Why should smokers not smoke because you don't like it? Works both ways.
It wont happen. Like tour groups at the All Stars, Disney won't - daren't - cut off one whole source of visit.
This thread is going just one way.
I guess unless you were you won't know what an addictive drug it is.
3 months later I'm still on patches.

Wow. In this brave new world of political correctness and "no prejudice allowed" I guess some people just have to find a whipping boy. Let's just ban everything that anyone finds offensive. Perfume or aftershave? Sorry, you can't come in. Is your hairstyle hopelessly out-of-date? Sorry, no one wants to see that. Excuse me, did you just cough? You could infect those better than you; go away. You want a motorized scooter? Sorry, that is a real and present danger to everyone else. Good grief! Your obese fat is making others lose their appetites and that affects the concession sales. Honestly.

My DH and I are both smokers, I sheepishly admit, but are extremely courteous smokers at that. In Disney, we use Blu Cigarettes 90% of the time, never smoke around children, ONLY smoke in designated areas and understand the dangers of second hand smoke... however, we are not criminals, as some have made us feel even while in a designated smoking area in the parks. The ONLY park we smoke at is Epcot (strange, I just realized we never lit up at MK due to so many little ones being close by) To non smokers .... understand that most of us have tried to quit in the past, are in the process of quitting or have quit and started up again. Those who aren't courteous and think of others, and light up on a whim, wherever they feel the need, I don't support and put them in the same class as pool hoppers or people who sneak in concierge lounges. Its not allowed, dont do it, and follow the rules. Let the bashing begin ..... LOL

The only reason i mentioned holding my breath is the person i quoted said the smoking areas we're clearly marked and non smokers could hold their breath while walking bye. I don't actually hold my breathe walking around the theme parks haha. Unless I am on "Monsters inc laugh factory" and don't want to be chosen as "the guy" haha

Not even close to being a reasonable comparison. I've never heard of second hand obesity and a bad hairdo won't result in cancer.
I was more of a casual smoker but I had the willpower to quit cold turkey. Seeing the effects of smoking was enough to deter further usage.

Check your taxes. The effects of over eating affect everyone...
http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickung...ricans-more-in-healthcare-costs-than-smoking/
"Reuters is reporting that obesity in America is now adding an astounding $190 billion to the annual national healthcare price tag, exceeding smoking as public health enemy number one when it comes to cost."
Now, that does NOT mean that I intend to single out people that are overweight, then attempt to vilify them because they have a different lifestyle than I do. Neither am I calling for "corraling" them, or demanding that they wear some kind of socially demeaning insignia. I seem to remember at least one historical figure that tried that sort of thing... it ended badly.
Instead? I'm going to go to WDW and enjoy it. And I hope everyone ELSE does as well - people who smoke, people who don't, people that eat too much, and really skinny folks.
I agree my friend. I will have an amazing time.....Hope everyone else does too. Like I said, I just quit recently, I didnt mean to preach. And sorry for the debates back n forth!

God bless the "Ignore" button.
I don't care if people smoke in their own houses. I just hate that people pollute the air where I have to walk by, and irritate others' asthma. Asthma is not a choice; smoking is. I think that clean air gets the right-of-way.
