I have rotten sinuses and I also get very sick if I have to breathe cigarette or cigar smoke. I get major migraines from it so I would be furious if some obnoxious idiot was blowing smoke in my face and the faces of my children while we watching a parade or whatever. Why should anyone have to move away because of his addiction? February, I wouldn't blame you if you sprayed your inhaler right in his face. And throwing a cigarette off the train or flicking it at people's shoes?! It's just unbelievable.

Of course I do find it funny that the second the lights go down at Fantasmic, you see hundreds of the light toys and I can't help but think about the amount of money Disney is making off of those things every single night at each of the 3 parks with nighttime spectaculars.
I have some of those lighty up things, because I cannot resist shiny things (Hey I AM a female!!!!!), LOL... BUT, I NEVER use them in the Park. I bring them home and use them to tease the cats. They go nuts and try to chase the lights moving around the ring style one! LOL! I have heard of the problems some have with them and for that reason won't use them in the Parks. They are sure fun here at home though. I actually can't watch them for too long, they hip-no-tize me! :p: LOL!

LOL, Randy! Great reference! I miss that cartoon! That one: and Drizzle, Drazzle, Drazzle, Drome, Time for this one to come home! Heeeeeelp, Tutor Turtle! Heeeeeeelp! :D:

Zazu e-stopped the train, hopped down, injuring himself because he forgot about the extra height as they weren't at a platform, and limped over to where the cigarette landed. It landed in a pile of dry leaves which had started smoldering and if he hadn't put it out there would have been a bad fire.
Now that is not just a rude smoiker...That is a dangerous JAG who needs to be kicked out of the park! Burning down the Magic Kingdom will not be condoned OR tolerated! OUT!

As an ex smoker (I smoked for 26 yrs and quit! YAY for me! BEST thing I EVER did in my life, besides marrying Ralph! ;) ) and I CANNOT stand the smell of cigs anymore. It makes me nauseous! And it is so nasty to smell and breathe. Ugh! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I am not ex smoker on a mission to make EVERYONE quit, but the facts are in, folks, smoking can keel you! Look at Uncle Walt! Lung Cancer took the very man we love and honor! I am so grateful for Ralph's strength and encouragement when I quit! I probably would not have done it as easily!

Now! WHO is gonna help me lose the extra 50 I gained when I stopped smoking, 30 of em immediately cause I went to work at an old fashioned candy store! :eek: I need one of you to come here and be a personal trainer! LOL! :p:
I have a smoking story from this last trip. Will share in another post, outta characters, DARN this 5000 character limit per post! I want to write a novel! ;)

I love that strobe flash light idea! It's on my shopping list and will be used the very next time I'm on PoC for starters (was in a boat of SFGs -stupid flashing guests- last time).

When people light up as I am waiting for/watching Illuminations, I tell them in no uncertain terms to stop or move because they are in a non-smoking area. Only had resistance once in the form of "I don't speak English," said in Spanish, to which I quickly responded the same thing in Spanish...they were shocked and put out the smokes.

For the people who are ignorant enough to stand in front of a wheelchair, you need an instant-deploy spiked cow catcher. A nice spike in the back of the leg would topple 'em pretty quickly!

That would work, but you might get some blood on you. I think having something that can lift and flip people over the railing and possibly into the water in World Showcase might be more amusing to watch.

It never would have occurred to me they might bother someone. I know now not to let DD use hers at night.

We are never at DLR after dark... We use them for Dr. appts and on airplanes.
Oh, you have to use them at night! That's when they're meant to be used!!! I just meant that people who let their kids use them during shows, especially in someone's face at eye level because the person is in a wheelchair. . .that's when I have a problem with it.

Ah yeah, halos, starbursts, floaters. . .I get em all. I'm my own little visual spectacular all the time. If not for the HUGE monitor my hubby got me I wouldn't be seeing well to type this!

Syndrome, I wish I could have seen the look on those smokers when you asked them in Spanish to put their smokes out ROFL. My daughter is learning Spanish and it will be quite helpful when we travel in future. . .

See I have the opposite problem. I was a two pack a day guy and long story short,, while in vietnam, we ran out of smokes!! (over 200 guys going "cold turkey") (WITH GUNS!!)

never took it back up EXCEPT when ever I am near someone puffing away...it smells like HEAVEN!!!! The urge to smoke is unreal!!!

DW is amused, as I always stand near smokers when waiting for her!!
