On April 25 Lawrence High School enacted a policy suspending any student seen smoking off campus during school hours for three days. The rule offers a one day suspension if the student attends a class to attempt quitting, but critics say it will not solve smoking issues and may push students to smoke elsewhere or seek out discreet locations.
Chelsey Gannaway, an LHS sophomore, argues that removing the smoking section will raise tardies and suspensions and that teenage smokers lose rights.
