DISNEY BANS SMOKING, VAPING, E-CIGS, GETTING RID OF DESIGNATED AREAS INSIDE THE PARK

Disney announced Thursday that smoking would be banned inside of Walt Disney World and Disneyland parks as well as in water parks, ESPN Wide World of Sports and Downtown Disney in California.

The ban was announced in a Moms Panel “Know Before You Go” blog post and said come May 1 there would be no more designated smoking areas inside of the parks. There will however be smoking areas outside of the entrances to the parks and at the Disney Resort Hotels.

“This important action by Disney highlights the real dangers in using and being exposed to tobacco products including e-cigarettes. The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with Disney that infants, children and adolescents have the right to breathe air that is free of tobacco smoke and tobacco product aerosols in all indoor and outdoor environments,” Dr. Jonathan Winickoff M.D. at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children and from the AAP told Newsweek.

After all, we’ve known for years that secondhand smoke is bad for our health.

But a recent study suggests a lot of parents are unaware those same rules should apply to e-cigarettes too — as secondhand and thirdhand exposure to vaping may also pose health risks.

A research team led by Dr. Jonathan Winickoff, pediatrician and member of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Section on Tobacco Control, recently looked at how much more likely parents might be to use e-cigarettes in enclosed spaces.
