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.
