Exactly the same rules in my school as the poster you're quoting; I graduated HS in 1985. I definitely feel it must have been a regional thing at least in part.

I think that things just started to get a little more politically correct in the eighties. Or so a lot of people thought. I graduated in 79 and things were just a little looser then. As long as you had a not from your parents, you could smoke in a designated area. I'm sure the general public would be outraged now if that rule was in effect at their child's high school.
just go in the bathroom and vape, thats what i did 2 years ago when i was in highschool. i didnt go there like a a maniac, but me and my friend would find a safe spot after the first bell, chain vape, and then go to class. then in class we would all take a bathroom break and hit the same spot at a determined time (bathroom, under the stairs, wherever we decided).
vaping was def not allowed in my highschool, but hey, when your in college, you can vape! but the classes are normally so short (45min) that you wont even really feel the need to vape in class. pluss you can just vape when your walking back or whatever.
STEALTH vaping IS KEY!!

I saw a shift in policy my second year in HS (93\94). People openly smoked a hundred or so yards away from the school at lunch. If a teacher came around, everyone stopped and waited..
The next year it was different. Completely banned. There was always smoking in the restrooms...but not like after the outside smoking gray area was kaput. Smoke rolled out of there.

Yep. Learn that total control now while you're young, even the control over things that don't need to be controlled, so you'll be a well trained, subservient, obedient automaton when you enter the real world.
Let's not get me started on the intelligence and reason vacuum that is the collective of public school officials. Ugh.

OTOH, the OP is young,,,,,,,,,
we all sounded like that at 18
Yes, but a DI usually ended it in short order!
Lol, me too, I turned 18 four months after I graduated ... It kind of trips me out to think of a High School aged student vaping, but I guess that is better than smoking, especially since I started smoking at age 12 (cringe).
I graduated in 90 in MT & you did not have to have a note to smoke in the smoking area behind the school. You didn't need to be 18 to buy them either even though the "law" said you did. They didn't start enforcing that law until I turned 18 & ironically I didn't have an id for several months after turning 18 so I had to have other people buy my cigarettes for me for a while lol.
Two things a guy never forgets; his first time, and the name of his DI.
My DI was S/Sgt DeArmous (and that's from 1959), and I'm not sayin' about the other.
I also graduated from HS in 1959, and you DID NOT SMOKE on school grounds.

Yeah, it's funny how we were allowed to smoke in the outside hallways in our HS.
We didn't even need a note from our parents. Even funnier, it was on a Navy base ! Our government is so pansy petunia now.
Yeah, about that. I'd be pretty ...... if my daughter said someone in one of her classes was vaping.
Look, just because vaping is considerably healthier than traditional smoking does not mean it's a good idea. Although people do many things they enjoy, like vaping, again does not mean it's a good idea. I personally don't think people are made to inhale much of anything but air, but it is their choice to do otherwise. However, people should be free to make choices with little or no outside influence. In your case, you are influencing the others around you to do something that is not necessary. Quite frankly, 0 nic vaping is silly unless you are an ex-smoker who deals with the hand-to-mouth fetish (or various other reasons), but to each their own. Bottom line is, it's not cool.
Besides all that, school is not the place for distractions like vaping. For whatever reason, my daughters school allows the use of cell phones at any time. Ha! Not mine. Those types of things take your focus off of what your focus should be on - learning. And one more "frankly" for you - I don't care if your 21, if you're still in high school, you're still a minor.

This. It's the same reason kids aren't supposed to chew gum, gnaw endlessly on their pencils, blow up balloons, whistle, etc. in class. It's a distraction - to the chewer/gnawer/whistler/balloon blower (that one was actually a joke) and to everyone else (ugh). My kids don't need to pacify their oral fixations for hours every day in a lulled, happy stupor during education time. They should actually be awake, focused and, you know, learning there.
Call me crazy.If I went to my children's school (well, once they're older, anyway) and found the kids hanging around the back of the classroom fiddling with their drip tips and unscrewing and screwing things and leaning back to compare vape clouds, I'm afraid I'd have some serious ....-kicking to do.

If you read clearly I said "by age standards you are an adult". I purposely left out the maturity aspect of being an adult.
I assure you theres nothing at all wrong with my reading comprehension skills.If your not going to use punctuation it makes it hard to understand the intent and tone of your posts on a written forum.
For example;
If you read, clearly I said "by age standards.........
If you read clearly, I said "by age standards.........
Theres really no need to argue if were in agreement on this is there?
Next time you guys decide its pick on zapped day please let me know so I can skip the conversation entirely.
Im not finding it amusing.
Wait, a building loaded with 15-18 year olds has a policy against tobacco products?
A 40 year old shouldn't vape in college...they should go out to their car too.
