Did your high school have a student smoking section?

Yes, but it was eliminated around sophomore/junior year. I graduated in 1990. Midwest.

Not sure if it was separate from the teacher's area, but I assume so.

Yes. Official.

Yes, teachers and students together. 1982.

Aside - do those smoking rooms in airports still exist? Those always looked so grim when you would walk by.

During my freshman year, if a student was over 18, they were allowed to smoke outside in designated smoking sections (which happened to be right beside the bus loading zone!). It was no longer permitted during my sophomore year. I graduated in 1989 from a small town in Ohio.

Same here, except I graduated in 1994.

Small town in Midwest. Anywhere outside the doors was fair game. Early 90s.

Yes, they do. They look even more grim now.

Heh. I can't even remember a time when people were allowed to smoke in restaurants or near building entrances.

Perhaps because you are from a less interesting time than the rest of us?
Remember this scene from Dazed and Confused?
Everyone at my school, all their trunks would look like that on the weekends.

Same here.

Late 80s

It also had a soda machine that sold mountain dew
