<p>Regardless of what you think of texting in class for any reason, how is it comparable to smoking in a lecture hall? When I texted I was in the very back with only friends near me and my phone was on silent so I don’t see how that affected the people who were in front of me more than flipping notebook pages or typing on a computer. I just honestly don’t understand the comparison and I truly would like to. Personally I think it’s worse when people kick the back of your chair which happens pretty often</p>
