Banned from CRH
People twice caught smoking on CRH shall be banned from travelling on CRH. The regulation is described as not applying to slow trains:

How long the ban would last has not been reported (or decided?).

I never noticed people smoking on the high-speed train. However a lot of people are smoking on the platform. As the stops are short, they all hand around the door of the car. Very annoying. This happens even though, just before stopping, they announce that one is not allowed to smoke on the platform.
I may be wrong but I might have seen a conductor smoking on the platform.

On CRH smoke alarms trigger train to stop.
No wonder they ban smokers. Not quite, but
similar to force a plane to land because of
disruptive behavior.
Hey Kid! Put out that smoke.

Slow trains have true kitchens, and some actually serve up surprisingly good food. In fact, the Shanghai-Beijing T trains have the best mushu pork I have ever tasted in China.

Slightly OT: I am more opposed to the smell of the types of instant noodles that the Chinese like to eat. That and garlic breath (or are they the same?) I dread the moment somebody flips open a paper bowl of instant noodles.
Back to topic, my impression is that the vast majority of Chinese are aware of the no-smoking rule. The number of people smoking on the platform, even on a 2-minute stop, would be funny if it isn't kinda sad.
