Teachers.

teachers constantly walking in and out of the toilets prevent people from lighting up in the bathrooms.

i think that would become so frustrating for the teachers and theyd eventually give up on it.....
it sounds like the best way would be for the smoke alarms thing and u should get those fire alarm doors that lock when the alarm goes off that would be funny the girls would be locked in and udve caught them red handed...lol

At my school the punishment for smoking is pretty harsh. Even if you aren't smoking in there but the person beside you is, you still get punished to a lesser degree for being in there. Its to make other students tell the smokers to quit....

The female teachers are "supposed" to go into the chicks toilets and check it out, but they sorta get sick of doing it.

Smokers suck, they make things so difficult!

Pretty annoying! Our school's bullying policy is that if you are bullied you should:
a) Walk away.
b) tell the bully that you "don't like this bullying and I want it to stop..."
c) Ask "Don't you have anything better to do?"
d) file a bully report, and then make things 10 000 times worse for yourself.

:) It's a very hard one to fix. Thankfully, the welfare committee are responsible at our school.

By the way, thanks heaps to everyone who posted in response to my original question. I took our findings so far to the welfare executive meeting today, and they are going to investigate it some more and get back to us. :)

Smoking is harmful to the health of more than simply those who smoke.

And if not smoking is a school rule, it needs to be upheld - otherwise you'd have anarchy on your hands.

I think smoking is a bit gross. And things dont only need to be done at school, but councils need to try and be a bit stricter with smoking in public, and other public buildings (like Woollies) need to have staff that can implement the smoking rules.. For example, last night when I was going into the carpark of my bowling centre, I opened the door into the alcove/shelter thing and I copped a mouth full of second hand smoke from these 3 women who were smoking in there...the buliding itself is non smoking and I class the alcove as being in the buliding. We have 'No Smoking' signs around and even have an area out the back designated to just smokers, where they can go, suck on their cancer sticks and die a slow horrible death!
Anyways, just needed to have a rant coz I choked on what I unintentionally inhaled...but what if it was a chronic asthmatic that had walked out instead of me?

The government figured this out a while ago in relation to sex and drugs. It's not right to prevent the act of smoking all together, but rather have an avenue for students to smoke elsewhere.

I would honestly find some way to move the collective smoking body (people prefer to smoke together) somewhere elsewhere inside or outside your campus.

^^ we proposed this, but apparantly it is illegal, as the smokers are juniors, and therefore underage. We don't care so much if they smoke... we just don't want to be affected by it.

Well coz they only people within the school that actually like that music would be those that are tone deaf. I know for a fact that when I went in those toilets with that music Id be quick as possible...although it stopped the smoking in the toilets, I think it promoted wagging...giving students that smoke more reason to leave the school grounds for a ciggie.
