Smoking Policy
The Walt Disney Company No-Smoking Policy (June 2019)
Smoking in any form, including the use of tobacco products (pipes, cigars and cigarettes) or “vaping” with e-cigarettes, shall only be permitted in areas specifically designated and posted as “Smoking Areas.” Those who smoke must use the provided receptacles in order to maintain Company facilities.
Seating in “Smoking Areas” shall be provided, if needed and requested.
Smoking marijuana is not permitted at any time on Company property, even in designated smoking areas. In any area smoking is prohibited by law, it is also prohibited by Company policy (e.g., adjacent to fuel storage and flammable/combustible liquid dispensing activities). Smoking is prohibited at all times in shuttles, carpool vans and any other multiple-occupant, Company-owned vehicle. Smoking is prohibited inside any indoor facilities owned or leased by the Company.
CALIFORNIA
In California, Labor Code Section 6404.5 outlines regulations related to smoking in places of employment. The Company Non-Smoking Policy adheres to the Labor Code.
It should be noted that the Labor Code does allow the use of tobacco smoke in Motion Picture, Television and Live Stage production if smoking is an integral part of the story and appears in the script.
