Just sick.

If you think your kids are "cool" you are delusional.

Why is it worse for girls? Sounds pretty sexist to me.

Because, in addition to the negative health aspect that they are all promoting, the girls are trying to look like cool boys, which is laughable.

PP commenting on what is cool is what is laughable.

This country was founded on tobacco. Let them enjoy their cigars

Oh who cares. It's just a silly tradition for one day of their lives.

Oh please, none of them are going to suddenly take up cigar smoking.

It is joyful. Better squelch it.

Far better than doing drugs.

It is totally douchey also they just look like little boys pretending. They don't know how to smoke cigars and they don't like to smoke them, they are pretending to be men. I am amazed that the parents seem to support and encourage it.

I am the mom of a boy who recently graduated from one of these schools and had no idea about this tradition until I stumbled upon my son and other boys with their cigars right after the ceremony. He was given the cigar by one of his friends. He had no idea how to light it nor did he know how to smoke it. This was very reassuring to me as he likely has never vaped either. He looked silly trying to do it but eventually figured it out and posed for some photos with his buddies. No harm done and a fun memory of carrying on a tradition.

For those like PP who need to find the negative in anything and everything, maybe think about how miserable you sound when you complain about things that mean absolutely nothing. Sad.

Am I the only one that is appalled by this "tradition". Even more so when it on a the school's campus which is supposed to be tobacco free.

If it bothers you so much, don't send your kids to any of those schools. Done.

Just look at their fathers. No surprise there.
