WDW Resorts go Smoke Free

and theyll get a bill at some point just like people get for smashing TVs or wrecking phones.

It's about time. I hope they extend this policy to the cruise line as well. We loved our balcony on our last cruise but hated the people who were smoking on their balconies around us. Thank you Disney.

Why do smokers always feel like it is an attack on THEM and not on the ACTIVITY? And, why do they define themselves as "smokers" anyway? Why is it "us"? They refer to it as if it were a race or religious group.

I don't think there will be that much of a outcry in the end... as long as there is SOMEWHERE they can go with reasonable convenience.

Does anyone remember back when they allowed smoking on airplanes? The world has sure changed.

Yes, indeed:

They were very clear to say loudly what the Non-Smokers wanted to hear. They can't even give us smokers the consideration of telling us where we have been banished to.

The number of smoking room request should be down. Most of us no longer smoke in our houses, cars or hotel rooms. We smoke on the balcony out of courtesy to Non-Smokers. Ya see what that got us?

All smokers should keep an unlit cigarette in their hand throughout their stay. Even take a puff now and then. That would drive them crazy. Especially the Non-Smokers. If there is no fire or smoke, what can they say.

I'm sorry. my post was a little rushed. I don't hate the smokERS. But I do hate the habit of smokING and can't wait for it to be BANNED from the ship.

Have a nice day.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'll say,

"Please keep your death-dealing cancer stick away from my children. It is an outdated device of ignorance and personal weakness that has no place in the modern, civilized world. We hide guns, liquor and sex from our children until they are old enough to understand the hazards involved. Your weapon of self-destruction and carrier of disease to all around you falls in the same category. If you feel strongly about ‘making a statement’ in front of families, a red t-shirt with the inscription ‘ASK ME ABOUT EMPHYSEMA’ in large friendly letters will work just as well until you are forced to carry around a twenty pound bottle of oxygen or have to breathe through a plastic nozzle in your neck (now that's a statement). Until then, please just thank me for paying double for my health insurance so wheezing dimwits don’t have to suffer the full cost of their own irresponsibility. Please enjoy the rest of your visit to Walt Disney World."

As usual, AV, thanks!

I realize that many smokers believe they are doing the right thing by using the balcony, and if it is a smoking room than that is fine, but when the smoker reserves a nonsmoking room or is placed in one, and chooses to smoke on the balcony that means I have to take my very smoke sensitive child to the ER. I have always had non-smoking rooms for medical reasons reserved and have had issues many times, last summer we had a 1BR at OKW, then a studio and then back to the 1BR--the family in the studion smoked in the room and on the porch. The smoke seeped under the adjoining doors, we could not use the balcony and overall it was a mess, guess where they put us when we checked out and back in again--my favorite part, when I said I couldn't take the room becasue I knew it had been smoked in--You should have reported it, now we are going to have to rework the room assignments--you really should have reported it so we could have done something. Wow, ok but how do I know that you didn't say smoking optional because you didn't have a smoking room for them? The year before , our room at POR had been smoked in, and getting a new room nearly impossible since there was some little league convention. I have had even more experiences, but no point listing them. Either you get it or you don't. I am not trying to deprive anyone of their right to put anything they want into their own body, but when it puts my family or I in direct harm then I have a right to express my displeasure.

Thanks, your last sentence says it all. Folks have the right to do what they want to THEMSELVES, but they DO NOT have the right to harm others with the things they do.

Though I myself no longer smoke, I must say I'm a little disappointed about this policy change. I don't understand why a nominal amount of rooms can't be set aside for smokers, no great amout but a reasonable amount. As with any other reservation, once they are filled, they are filled. At least then smokers would have some opportunity. I know my roommate smoke and is extremely responsible, careful and clean. This will not keep us away from Disney, we do understand but it seems a shame some sort of happy medium could not have been reached; I always felt having certain rooms on the top floor set aside for smoking was good and as we all know smoke rises so it shouldn't affect others.

You can't blame smelling smoke on what's wrong with you people. I bet you all hate everybody for everything. You people should not even be out in the public. You make me Sick, Sick, Sick. You get more smoke from a bus going by. Get over it.

I kinda understand why DIS is closing all the smoking threads. We can't take all the DRAMA about a little smoke in your nose ANY LONGER.

PLEASE

NO MORE DRAMA, BUY NOSE PLUGS, STAY HOME,

YOUR NOT WELCOME HOME ANYMORE

How does that feel? Do you like it.

Actually, no, I don't really hate anyone. Bus exhaust and cigarette smoke are two different emissions BTW, but I do all I can to avoid that as well.

Hello...AlGore and his years of scientific research and tens of believers have a "consensus" that say you can't.

Again, Disney isn't telling smokERS they can't come, they're simply saying there is no smokING. No matter how badly someone is addicted to crapping in the middle of their hotel room carpet, they're not allowed to do it at Disney resorts. Carpet crappERS are welcome at Disney resorts. Carpet crappING is not.

I don't see a big difference here.
