Smoke control speed-linked

 Smoke control speed-linked

Nearly 90 percent of Chinese railways are subject to anti-smoking regulations, but enforcement remains poor, particularly on slower services, according to a China Daily story quoting the results of new research.
State and local tobacco control policies require that station waiting areas, platforms and train carriages are smoke free.
But compliance is far from satisfactory, according to research released on Monday by Yang Jie, deputy director of tobacco control for the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
