The train was forced to slow from 200 kilometers per hour to 120 km/h, a police officer with the Shenyang railway public security bureau told Xinhua News Agency.

The smoker, a 23-year-old from Dalian, was fined 200 yuan ($30) for violating regulations.

"Smoking is strictly forbidden on high-speed trains, even in the toilets, washing rooms and connecting areas between cars," Xinhua quoted the unidentified officer as saying. "Smoking can trigger fire alarms or even cause a fire on the train."

Violators may be subject to warnings, fines or administrative detention for disturbing order on public transport facilities, he said.

On Saturday, the first day of the Harbin-Dalian high-speed railway's operation, a passenger was found smoking on a train to Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, leading to a deceleration of the train, railway police said.

The next day, a passenger in his 20s smoked in a washroom on a train also heading for Harbin, triggering the fire alarm. His actions nearly resulted in an emergency braking, according to Zhao Yang, chief conductor on the train.

It is not uncommon for smokers to cause trouble on bullet trains.

On Jan 11, a bullet train traveling from Shenzhen to Changsha was forced to brake after a smoker activated the emergency braking system. The halt delayed more than 20 trains.

In December 2008, a passenger was given three days detention because his smoking caused a bullet train from Tianjin to Beijing to automatically brake just a minute after it had departed Tianjin Railway Station.

The passage reports a fact that a smoker smoked on a high-speed train and caused it to automatically slow down abnormally. Some more cases are offered to show that smoking on a bullet train causes trouble and danger to others.

As is known to everybody, smoking is very common in China. Almost everybody just considers it as a personal affair and does it at free will wherever they feel like it. Not only do people smoke in their own homes, but they also smoke in almost every public place, from their offices to the theatre. They feel it their private freedom, and few regard it as an offense to other people.

But I do think smoking is not a personal affair but a social problem. When one smoker is enjoying his smoke, what he produces in his smoke affects the surroundings. He is at the same time forcing the people around to smoke second-hand. I once read a news story that a tourist’s smoking caused a fire on the top of Mount Huangshan. And I frequently read about fire disasters in homes or factories caused by smoking.

I quite agree that trouble-making smokers should be severely punished with a view to cutting down smoking. I suggest that smoking be banned in all public places.
