On rural shorts hauls which can be 12 hour trips you have to enforce no smoking yourself if you are strong enough. Trains/planes .....easy peasy<<

I really, really want to try long train rides in China but never got the chance when I was there. Maybe next time.<<

Shesgottobe I don't know if you mind smoking, but if you do, I would think twice before you embark on a train ride in China!

I made a terrible mistake this summer when I took a train from Guangzhou to Shanghai. I was told that there was no smoking on the train when I bought my ticket. People (mostly men) were smoking throughout the entire 30 hour trip! They lit up in between the cars but the smoke travelled throughout the train.

It turned into a horrible nightmare. A day after I arrived in Shanghai I got sick (picked up a cold) because I lacked sleep from the train ride and my body's resistance was way down.

I vowed I'd never take a train again in China.

Billy what was your experience like in the 'easy peasy' trains regarding smoking?[/quote]
