Just for clarity, my students range in age from 18 to 56. I work at a technical college that offers Associate's degrees which are terminal in nature. Meaning - get a degree, now go get a job. So my students can be right out of high school, people for whom traditional school just doesn't work or someone who just wants to learn to be a network administrator.
Since they are of legal age, a lot of them go outside to smoke their delicious-smelling cigarettes. I don't usually go out during breaks but prefer to go out while they are in class since I don't teach every night. There is one group of students I try to never be out there with because I don't really like them. This guy was in that bunch. Just a clod really.
Most of my students are intelligent, friendly people that I do enjoy hanging with so it really wasn't a big deal, I just didn't realize that it might not smell good. I mean, doesn't all pipe tobacco smell good?
