hahahah look im all for personal freedoms, i used to smoke so its not even that im looking down on her for that (ok but yeh i totally am. a pack a day is gross. and shes gross, as is her mother, so that totally just makes it ew. her mother is supposed to be 35! she looks about 65!), its just that you have to admit its fairly bizarre for a school to agree to that!! and its also a bit of a distraction! her running out of class early or coming to class late jsut cos of her desperate need for a ciggie :? i dont get how the school could allow that.
and surely they're setting themselves up for some kind of lawsuit too? by other kids later on saying it was the smoking environment that let them get cancer through passive smoking. or the girl herself, saying they caused her cancer by encouraging her habit?
plus it we just accept it and let her fail in life, that effects us too.
