The ban also will include vaping.
The latest move comes ahead of the public opening of Star Wars attractions that are expected to draw tons of tourists. In 2015, Disney became the first major Hollywood studio to cut portrayals of cigarette smoking from their films, in a move focusing on younger audiences.
The park also announced loose or dry ice will no longer be permitted. Strollers larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long will also not be allowed.
