Not Much of a punishment:
1) If she bought the cigarettes
2) If the student didn't have to participate in school for the duration
3) Since the alternative was a whipping and he didn't receive one

Hmmmm, wonder if she forced him to drink a bunch of beers too.
*raises hand* - I'll be punished. I'LL BE PUNISHED!!!

You've been a bad, bad boy.
Have another beer!

The boy was also smelling of cigarette, said a school official
Ya think? After smoking 40 cigarettes?
