Vapor cigarettes

[Tawnya]

My husband just bought one. I am hoping he can use it in the park. Does anyone know? Thank you!

Only in the Designated Smoking Areas.

If I recall correctly, he can use it but only in the designated smoking sections in each park or hotel.

Ditto.

Rules are very specific that "vapor" are only allowed in designated smoking areas. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/park-rules/

Speaking of electronic cigarettes, my son's fiance was working tonight at a famous coffee house and had just spent time around someone smoking an electronic cigarette in the break room. She literally stopped breathing and a policeman in the restaurant called the paramedics. Because of this incident, I have been reading up on these cigarettes tonight and am shocked to read of their second hand effects on asthmatics, etc. I had no idea! I certainly would not want anyone just walking around WDW smoking these after what I have read (and experienced with my future DIL) tonight.

I think there would be a very big difference of in the break room as you said and walking around outside. However, I can see how people would not want to be around e-cigarettes. Does she have asthma ? Most asthmatics would not put themselves in a situation that might trigger it in an indoor situation. That could be an e-cigarette or near someone spraying something like Lysol. I hope she'll be okay.

Sadly not. He will need to go and stand with the stinky smokers in the DSAs

A fair question though, because it wasn't made clear on our last trip. I'm not sure how it is in the US, but over here in the UK, a lot of bars will allow people to "smoke" them indoors, and pretty much anywhere outdoors, so the natural assumption would be similar practice in the states (which I dont think is the case).

I suspect it's more of an issue of disney not wanting children to be exposed to the sight of any form of smoking, which is understandable.

I know the malls in my home town are treating them just like regular cigarettes---they are not allowed inside.

The Ontario Gov't is passing legislation to treat them as an other tobacco product.

Slightly off topic, but the UK government seem to be treating electronic cigarettes as a smoking cessation device rather than a form of smoking... Maybe that's why there's such a different attitude over here!

It's also hard for cm's to distinguish from a distance. And of course other guests reactions

The new word for this is to "vape," as in "I vape, you vape, he - she - it vapes," past tense "vaped," and was honored as the Oxford Dictionary 2014 "Word of the Year."

Out of respect for other guests in the park he should refrain from using the electronic cigarette in places that are not designated smoking areas. And if a cast member is doing their job properly, they will point you toward the closest smoking location if you are not in one.

They are finding out more and more about the 'vapors' that are emitted from e-cigs and are finding out that they too are dangerous for others to breathe. They should be regulated and treated just like any cigarettes.

France has banned them in public, yes the country where breakfast is a croissant, café au lait and a cigarette.
