This is Malaysia. Things work a little differently over there. Still, 42, even 30, is really pushing it. I don't know how this kids was holding down his lunch, should have been an Exorcist revival. With that said...Hmmm caning till I'm black & blue, or smoking till I'm sick..........I prefer Marlboro Lights, please. =\

Well I'll bet he never smokes again. My grandfather did a similar thing to my mother when he caught her with cigarettes. She said she got so sick she never wanted to look at a cigarette again let alone smoke one. She told me she is very appreciative that her father did that because now she's not one of her many friends who died because of smoking. She's very healthy at age 80.

Well, I don't think any teacher (here in the US ) has the authority to try to teach children the ills of smoking in that fashion Years ago my father caught my oldest brother (12 years old)smoking a cigar. He didn't scold him, just sat and watched while he smoked. My brother was so sick that he never ever again smoked the rest of his life. Maybe that is good and maybe not. But in that case it brought the desired result. No more smoking. What works with one might not work with another. Who knows?

honestly, vompared to the punishment that is approved for catching a smoker. I think forcing them to smoke is a better option. I dont believe he was forced to smoke 4 at a time for hours cause he would have smoked more then 42, but thats what parents have done in this country for years so its nothing new. I dont believe they should have done it, it should have been up to his gaurdian to punish him like that, they should have suspended him or given him detention or something but obviously if they can legally whip their students with canes then their idea of ethical punishment is different then ours and under those guidelines this punishment was mild.

I never did understand that FS Eddy. If they have quit drinking and still don't drink, how are they still "recovering"??? And kudos to you for kicking it. I have family members who are alcoholics and I never became one. Yes, I drank alot in the military, but I also didn't let it control my life or career. There was always a time and place for it.

This punishment is fine. 42 cigarettes at a whack is going to be very very uncomfortable but won't do anything even close to permanent damage. I guarantee this kid is never going to smoke again. Make the punishment fit the crime, people always say, and whenever it does, they complain. Oh well. Luckily this is in Malaysia where we don't have any control over it. (unless you're commenting from Malaysia)
