I had a teacher (who knew my family and worked with me during the summer) come over to me during class, and with a funny look on his face, ask me if I had just used the ladies room. Just using the bathroom in a public school in the 70s was enough to make you reek of smoke. When I replied in the affirmative, he was said “that explains the cigarette smell”. If they couldn’t stop the kids smoking in the bathrooms them in a middle class “nice” neighborhood, does anyone actually think they protect your kids from anything else.
The high school girl's bathrooms back in my day were just a good place to sneak to in order to have a cigarette!
And made the bathrooms unusable because of the horrible smoke smell. I stopped using the bathroom at school because the smell was that bad.
True! Especially if you didnt smoke.
