That was my dad when we went in 1990. He had the brilliant idea of quitting smoking while taking the family to Disney World. Now I appreciate what he was trying to do but the timing was probably not great. My biggest memories was him getting mad about really dumb stuff and all because of the nicotine addiction. Uncool for sure.
Yes, I hate the smoking not the smoker. This is a genuine question and not meant to be judgmental, I'm just ignorant of the details: If someone were already going to the parks after this ban, but didn't want to inconvenience themselves by having to smoke, would using gum or patches be a decent alternative? I know if it were me or my family member I wouldn't want myself or them to go out to the front of the park every time they wanted a cigarette but I also wouldn't want them to miss out. I think once people get past the initial shock of the change, they will have to find alternatives if they don't want to cancel and don't want to walk outside every hour or whatever.
Unfortunately most smokers are going to have miss out or not go. I have tried the gum because the DSA’s were so inconvenient but it makes me physically sick. I was fine with the inconvenience and followed the rules but having to go out and then back in is just too much! Just wish they would have announced this sooner so I wasn’t stuck paying thousands for a vacation standing outside a park. They are going to push many people into breaking the rules. I won’t go that far but it’s going to be worse now than ever.
