I have a question for DLR cast members. I know that DLR has designated smoking areas. How are cast members trained in approachiung guests that smoke outside of those areas? Are you given scripts on what to say or protocols of how to handle non cooperaticve or offended guests?

Re: Question for Cast Members about Smoking at DLR
Well that's a little harsh. But I do wish they had some sort of "ventilation" mechanism at the designated areas that kept the smoke out of the adjacent areas. The effectiveness of my anti-lung cancer medication may be compromised by cigarette smoke."She's taking everything. She's taking the house, she's taking the kid, she's taking the dog.

Re: Question for Cast Members about Smoking at DLR
Sorry if I sounded harsh. The ventilation idea sounds good to me. I live in a cold climate and one local building has an outdoor building just for the smokers. I assume the air comes out clean. Also, if the smoke is too gross to keep your car windows closed in the parking garage, it's obviously so unhealthy you should join a cessation program.

You know, just FYI there are way more toxins in the fumes the giant SUV's in that parking lot, than in one of my small cigarettes Personally, I think the fumes from the cars smell worse...but then again I suppose it's just a matter of opinion isn't it...?

Re: Question for Cast Members about Smoking at DLR
Nothing harsh about that at all. They shouldn't be allowed in the park. Smoke doesn't stay in the smoking area, no matter how polite people are about it. You can smell the sections way before you get to them. Also, children shouldn't be allowed in them. It's sickening to see children in strollers along side their parents pumping smoke in their faces. It's illegal to smoke in a car with a child, how is it ok for them to be in that area?

Re: Question for Cast Members about Smoking at DLR
My aunt died from lung cancer. Never smoked a cigarette in her life, but all three of her exes did (one was a divorce -- don't know what happened to him, one died of lung cancer, the other died from a stroke no doubt contributed by excessive smoking). Second hand smoke should never be tolerated. I say make the park totally non smoking -- and if you think that's harsh get over it.

Maybe...but people aren't exactly driving their SUVs around the park.

Tell ya what, DLR......ban smoking from both parks and DD while we're at it and you can up ticket prices all you want. I'll gladly keep coming back to a smoke-free Disneyland."The old man's gonna knock on the sky. Listen to the sound."
AP'er since 2004. Yup.....I'm one of THEM.

2 - "Second hand smoke should never be tolerated" - I can understand this... but really, you aren't going to die because you briefly smelled someone's cigarette from 20 feet away.
3 - "if you think that's harsh get over it" - this intolerance for a differing opinion is harsh.
I quit smoking 3 years ago. Cold turkey. Haven't looked back. The smell of cigarette smoke makes me ill. But people are addicted who enjoy the parks... I don't think Disney should promote it, but they are smart to tolerate it. It's good business... that is, until thousands threaten to stop coming because of the smoking. Might be a worthy cause!
I'm curious how many people who want smoke free parks also support the serving of alcohol in the parks.

I don't care if they have a smoking area as long as it's sealed off from the rest of us. The way I feel is that I have compassion for those with nicotine and tobacco addictions--but it's not my responsibility to accommodate it by exposing myself to harm. With all of the patches, gum, electronic vapor cigarettes etc. there are a lot of ways someone could get a nicotine fix without actually smoking in the parks.Merida looks like this.

Re: Question for Cast Members about Smoking at DLR
I think most people know that there are designated smoking areas, but I imagine people from other countries may not know all the "anti smoking" rules and just light up.
My favorite part of the Big Thunder Railroad is when the train passes by the smoking area and you get that wonderfull blast of secondhand smoke in your face.
I don't think they should have smoking areas in the park because that's what killed Walt.

Your beer isn't going to damage my liver. Your cigarette IS going to damage my lungs, trigger asthma attacks, make my clothes smell bad, etc. and I haven't chosen to smoke, so I shouldn't have that fallout. It's not a morality thing. If someone's an adult and chooses to smoke, it's not my concern. It's simply an acknowledgement that smoke unfortunately doesn't stay with the smoker exclusively.

What's funny to me is that those smoking areas at BTMRR and Matterhorn are the places that I would try to go use to smoke, even when smoking was allowed "where ever" in the park.
For a little humor on the subject, I don't understand why I'm the one that has to go outside to smoke - you non-smokers are the ones who want the fresh air.."Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money" - Walt Disney

Re: Question for Cast Members about Smoking at DLR
If they're not going to ban smoking totally from DL I think the smoking areas need to be in the corners away from places where large crowds pass by. I try not to take the path by BTMRR after the morning blarg! :-P

Originally posted by cromag View PostI think there's some irony in complaining about second hand smoke at an amusement park that sits within the smoggiest city in the country.
The only irony I see in this thread is that the same arguments downplaying the hazards of second hand cigarette smoke that the tobacco industry used 40 years ago are alive and well today."Disneyland is often called a magic kingdom because
