Did your high school have a student smoking section?

'81 to '85. Yes.

Went to two different high schools.

In one, the smoking area was called "the slab"

In the other, it was called "the pit"

Whitman, 1991. The designated smoking area was called The Hill. The ceramics teacher used to let kids smoke in the kiln room rupturing class.

No, went to H.S. In Chesapeake, and graduated in 90. They got rid of the smoking area the year before I got there. I remember in Jr. High being really shocked to learn that there was a smoking area for teens in the High School.

Hi classmate! It never occurred to me that The Hill was school-sanctioned, but thinking back, it was certainly tolerated.

I graduated in 1993. When I was a freshman (89-90), the senior class was the last class to be allowed to smoke on campus. You had to be a senior to smoke since the smoking age in state is 18. The smoking pit was right across from main office so they did chase freshman-juniors out of it.

I don't remember a smoking area but we had a childcare center for students' kids. 1991.

HS on Long Island, there was an official smoking area for students when I started in 1990 but it was gone when I graduated in 1994. It must have been eliminated in '91 or '92?

You'd go out of your way to avoid it. It was a huge cloud of cigarette smoke inhabited by what were called "the freaks" back then.

Good memories.

Another Bowie High class of '87 graduate here. Yup, those were interesting times!

CT, class of 93. The student smoking section was outside, just past the parking lot on a strip of sidewalk that was JUST off of school grounds, yet still visible to the security guard. I never could understand how those kids could endure the New England winters in their little black Guns N Roses jackets just to smoke cigarettes at 7 am. The power of nicotine!
