Question

This is a question that seems odd for this site but, i'm doing a school paper on student rights and such.

A student i know was going off campus for lunch ( with the right to do so from the school ) and he left school grounds and went to a local restaurant and only then did he smoke his cigarette away from school grounds. He is legally able to buy and smoke cigarettes (age 18 ) . He was suspended for the week for doing so, and i cant find anything in our schools policies and or handbook that suggest that smoking during off campus lunch is prohibited. Is this violating his First Amendment Rights?

Answer 1

He should be able to smoke because 1. he was off campus and 2. he's 18 which is a legal adult 3. there's no policy stating he can't do such
