As for examples like smoking -- I don't feel that it is contradictory for a teacher to educate students (with the necessary scientific knowledge, values and ethics) to make an informed decision about smoking, while the teacher also makes their own informed decision as an adult to smoke or not smoke.

Yes I agree that if a teacher chooses to smoke, they should exercise discretion and try to avoid being seen by students, and also avoid smoking before work so they don't bring the third-hand smoke to their classrooms.

But to say teachers cannot smoke at all is rubbish. They are full grown adults with independent thought and the legal right to exercise their decision whether to do it or not. Double standards? Yes, there ARE double standards in society in the treatment of adults and children, in almost every aspect of life. What's wrong with that?
With your logic of nothing wrong being double standard, then the teachers need to have expectation of double standard treatment when come to KPI grading, workload, the teaching system, work culture , treatment from senior manaement / peers. be it making sense or non making sense , fair or unfair. there is nothing wrong with that.

In short, feel free to complain and there is nothing wrong being unfair or mistreated.
