Yep, no more smoking inside the parks. The smoking areas are now located near the park entrances. We havenāt been since May (in fact, we were there when the change was made) so they may have been moved since then, but at the time we walked past several of the smoking areas, so they shouldnāt be hard to find. Your BF might want to bring some nicotine patches if he thinks heāll struggle.The good news for him is that the resorts still have smoking areas, as does the Boardwalk and Disney Springs.
Maybe he can try the lozenges. My dad has been able to cut down from more than a pack a day to typically no cigarettes daily with the help of the lozenges. He is tempted when heās around other smokers but that wonāt be an issue inside the parks.
We were there the first week of September. DW smokes and she did quite well without until we ate. Then it was off to entrance gates. MK is by far the most inconvenient as it was located by the bus stops. It was the longest walk and required leaving the park completely. You had to go through security and bag check again. EP was the same but not nearly the distance. AK and HS had locations that didnāt require you to fully exit. I expected this from DW so I included these ābreaksā in the touring plan.
I used both the gum and the lozenges when I was quitting smokeless tobacco. I did not find the taste to be bad at all - but they did tend to give me hiccups - especially the gum. Of course smokeless provided no problems in the parks because it had no external effects like smoke or vaporā¦
