I'm not familiar with every US states smoking regulations but are there schools/buildings/courts etc where they would be allowed to do this anyway?

Not all games, even high school games, are played in school facilities. Many state tournament games, and preseason tournaments, are played in arenas not affiliated with any school (not even a college).

You cannot smoke in most facilities no matter the affiliation in this state. It is either state or country laws that prevent this from happening even in private buildings on some level (business buildings). Even these e-cigarettes are prohibited to my understanding just like any tobacco product.

A lot of buildings allow e cigarettes that don't allow traditional cigarettes.

Interesting. In Canada we are stuck with FIBA but at least all public indoor spaces and workplaces are smoke free traditional or E . ..
