I’m so glad that the people unaffected ( by and large) are happy! I’m at the point of Cancelling our trip DH is a disabled war veteran who also has ptsd. Being able to go to an out of the way dsa for a quick vape was his lifeline.

I'm truly sorry about your husband. Cigarette smoke makes me sick as I'm asthmatic. It will bring on a coughing fit and will have to make me reach for an inhaler. If smokers would stick to the designated smoking areas it wouldn't be so bad but I think too many people tried to sneak a smoke in other areas. They are the ones that ruined it for those who followed the rules. I just wonder if it will cause even more smokers to try to sneak those cigarettes into restrooms and other areas for a quick puff?

The problem is that most people are intolerant. We are in the ME, ME, ME time in History where what I want is the only thing that counts. So what if a few smokers are allowed to light up in one or two out of the way areas?!? Why not ban hot dogs, French fries and soda which are also not good for you and your kids... I’m not a smoker but I have compassion for my fellow human beings who are.

Depends on how far from the front entrance they put the smoking location. I hate it when I have to walk through a haze of smoke to enter a building. I'm thinking about the MK and there's not a lot of space between security, the magic band scanners and the entrance. If they clog up the entry to MK with smokers that will be more of a headache than it is currently.

This is fine. Although most of the designated spots left are off of the paths enough that the average guests don't walk past them. My concern is that there will be more people lighting up anyway when they can't find a designated area. I see more of that since the sites have been reduced. It really seemed like the 2 sites left in each park were working pretty well. The Italy spot was not the best, and Epcot has some areas that would be better choices. Oh well, we will adapt or stop going. so be it.

It means smokers will need to leave the parks to smoke and then come back. Which means more people traffic at the front gates. Very inconvenient.

I'm with the majority. Smoking is a health issue not a politically correct one. Just standing near someone who just had a cigarette is awful. Sorry smokers but you have no idea how stinky you can get. Not to mention having the rest of us having to walk through that smoke. Majority should rule in this case. Thank you Disney. Oh, & by the way I've never seen a drunk at any of the parks but I'm sure there are some.
