I can see if it was on school property where they were smoking. I suppose the association decides what they consider a drug. Stupid move, but it's a way to get at teen tobacco use.
Here in Michigan, school zones are tobacco-free zones. Teachers can't even smoke in their cars in the school lot. So I'm assuming this is a case where the students were smoking on school grounds which was a violation. So this is really a case of students being suspended for breaking a school rule that is probably in place across the entire state. I would also assume the students were very well aware of the rule and the consequences when they smoked the cigars. So, I'm not sure how this is even a story. I could publish a news article like this every week from my school where a student smoked outside/in the bathroom/on the playground and subsequently were suspended, but I didn't think it was newsworthy. Guess I was wrong
