anywhere else, smoking is not allowed but if you meet someone who doesn't care, all I can say, unlucky loh but if you actually ask them nicely to smoke at the right place they will bulge.
As for the bullet trains which start with D and G - These are non-smoking trains.
Incorrect.
On bullet trains, smoking is not allowed anywhere in the train, and it is strictly enforced. On non-bullet trains, smoking is only allowed in reserved areas where two trains cars coupled on, not inside train cars. However, on some worse/older/cheaper trains, this rule is not strictly enforced. But you can always complain to the train conductors if you don't like it.
