Is Disney Springs not a "family shopping destination" ?

Are Universal and Seaworld not family parks ?

To be consistent why haven't they banned smoking at the Paris Parks ?

Yeah because people always stuck to the smoking areas..
That’s one of the reasons they banned it in the first place as some of the smokers couldn’t be trusted to stick to the designated smoking areas and received complaints daily.
And there’s no such thing as a “family shopping destination” , it’s just shopping and that’s aimed at adults as they are the ones with money.
Disneyland Paris hasn’t banned it because their approach is different to the US (and up until recently they werent even the majority shareholders so could do what they liked within reason)
It’s pretty obvious when you’re in the park and people still roam around with a cigarette rather than use the smoking areas in DLP.
Don’t know why you mentioned Universal etc.. as they’re nothing to do with Disney and make their own rules, obviously.
