Was told that all rooms at WDW hotels are non-smoking now

[wdwjunkie2005]

I totally disagree. First of all, that smoke has been INSIDE SOMEONE'S BODY, mingling with blood, mucous, saliva, etc. Then they expel that smoke, AND IT ENVELOPES YOU AND YOUR FOOD, after it has been INSIDE ANOTHER PERSON'S BODY. Just imagine what their lungs look like... Perhaps I should take a dump in public too, instead of going to the required area (bathroom).

With that said, you might as well go over and stick your tongue in their mouth!

Sorry...but all interest groups deserve fair representation.

Boy I could really fly this that statement but I won't. I feel that its just a matter of time. Disney will eventually come around and ban smoking and I feel make a good faith effort to allow some limited smoking in a limited number of places. They are almost there, they just need to crack down and stick to their guns if they do and for once enforce the rule. Maybe a statement at checkin that a smoker would have to sign stating penitilies 'could' be assessed for cleaning if you smoked in your room. I have read here an other places where several hotel chains are doing this already and it seems to work..smjj

Second, cats are already banned from restaurants and most public areas. So that is not a good analogy, even in sarcasm.

Same thing happens with breathing. That CO2 that people are expelling from INSIDE their bodies is all around you. Not only that it's a WASTE product. As for analogies, yours is even worse than the cat one.

It is a plague.

Wow! Now its been awhile, but I seem to remember locusts, frogs, gnats, flies, and hail. I do NOT remember any of my Sunday school teachers ever talking about the plague of cigar/cigarette smoke. Shame on them for keeping knowledge of this plague all to themselves.

And why wasn't I ever advised about "Smoker", the fith Horseman of the Apocolypse?

One rule is just like any other for someone who is going to break it.

Disney should enforce the rules they have now, and if they did, there wouldn't be any real problems.

Awww...but that would take all the 'fun' out of it for some posters!!

Ah, but you are talking about bibical plagues(hail included??). I wonder how many people they have killed in the last couple hundred years. Smoking and the second hand smoke in the US kills over 300,000 a year alone. I would define that as a modern day plague...smjj

From the Center for Disease Control Website:

Introduction: Plague is an infectious disease of animals and humans caused by a bacterium named Yersinia pestis.

People usually get plague from being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an infected animal. Millions of people in Europe died from plague in the Middle Ages, when human homes and places of work were inhabited by flea-infested rats.

So...I guess it isn't 'a plague'.

This is getting silly. You know what I meant. I am dropping out of this thread. This is my last entry into a thread that has served its usefullness and has gone downhill every sence. I think its time for it to be closed....smjj

I am a smoker. When I am at Disney World, I only smoke in my room if it is a smoking room. I have never smoked outside of a non-smoking room. I don't smoke outside the smoking area. I didn't even smoke in line when you could smoke in line. I too have been involved in a conversation with someone who sits down in the smoking area and complains about the smoke. Nothing posted on here is new. I think Disney should keep the smoking areas of the park, keep some of their rooms smoking. Restaraunts and shops should be non-smoking, buses should be non-smoking. They don't need to become a completely non-smoking resort to keep ALL of their guests happy. They just need to enforce the rules they have put in place.

And for all of you who think that smoking should be banned at all of Disney World should think about how you got there first. Your cars you drive to get there, the jets you fly to get there, are causing far greater health problems than any smoker ever can in an entire lifetime. When you give up your car completely, let me know. I will give up smoking completely. And don't try to post that it's different, because it isn't. It's just finally hitting something that you don't want to give up.

I'm soo sorry Goofy4WDW1964 -- but it's been determined by those who have all the answers that your logic simply doesn't hold up!

Your opinions maybe deemed socially unacceptable -- despite your best efforts to accomondate the will of 'the masses' and the rights of the 'minority'.
You may have actually crossed the line into "sillyness" which will earn you nothing grief and condemnation. The mega tons of pollutants poured into the air we all breath by all those methods of transportation used by those who condem you, couldn't possible cause the same level of health concerns that someone who might be consuming a taboo product 25 feet away from others could cause. Sorry.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in one of the previous 100 or so posts, but I have clarification on this because I called back to request a non-smoking room. The CM with whom I spoke said that "all rooms are non-smoking unless smoking is requested." I think that's where the confusion - and the rumor - began. I would still request non-smoking if you want to make sure you get it, but if you are a smoker you are still able to book a smoking room.

Yes, the cat sarcasm IS a good analogy. There are three cats on my street, and I can't even plant flowers without them leaping on top of me. They get in my carport, they get on top of my car, one even got IN my car, they get their stupid cat fur all over the front porch, they bring dead birds and drop them in my yard, when I want to go out on my backyard deck, they pop in and rub their stupid cat bodies all over me -and even when I'm not there on my patio furniture. They are a total nuisance, and I hate the fact that I have to take allegra if I want to cookout on my own back deck. So please try not to comment on things when you don't have all the facts. Interestingly enough, my next door neighbors don't want to keep their cat inside because even THEY are allergic to her. However, smoking is banned in the restaurants where I live.

Just smoke by them. This may cause them to stop breathing and die, or so I've read.

No cats have been harmed in the making of this post.

We have a reservation in October for a smoking room. If they go to all non smoking rooms then don't get mad when the smokers are standing outside their rooms smoking. I get severe headaches when people are around me with heavy perfume on. Maybe they can inclose them in a little glass room too.

THANK YOU!!! I am highly allergic to perfume...I mean highly. I almost ended up in the hospital a couple of months ago (ER Doctor wanted to admit, but second opinion Dr. said if I did not get better in 1 day then admit. I still had to stay overnight in the ER though.) What triggered it? Someone in a hotel room before me felt the need to bathe in perfume. I would much rather smell the smoke.

Some people that do not smoke complain about smoke, but the whole time spraying perfume, hairspray, lysol in rooms(has same chemical I, and most perfume allergics are allergic to) etc, without a second thought to others. So the next time you try to play the lemming and claim "asthma, or "annoying" etc, put the perfume bottle down first.

k, that was my vent...let the blasting begin.

I think several people have mentioned a problem with perfume as well. I do have asthma and you would never catch me wearing perfume..we had to turn in a rental car back at the airport our second day in, because we couldn't wash the smell off a seatbelt. Most people who have asthma do not use perfume. While there may be some that just don't like the dangers of second hand smoke, perfumes don't have the same dangers to someone without allergies or asthma.
I don't have a problem with those who smoke in intended areas. I just avoid those areas. I just wish there was a section of the pool and other outdoor areas that is smoking..and I'm sure smokers would like that too, so they can stop getting dirty looks for smoking in allowed places.
