my friend works for a company that says NO SMOKING period even at home. Because they feel it's important for their employees health. He signed a piece of paper that says he'll be fired for it. He smokes once in a while, if he's caught he knows the ramifications and consequences.

That is true, but your friend is free to get another job...most high school students are not free to leave an oppressive educational environment.
It would be much like the NC government stating that by living in NC you are voluntarily giving up all of your civil rights because you could move somewhere else if you really wanted to excercise them. After all, that's what the position of most school boards is: Agree to do it our way, or drop out.
