The western will claim its inhuman and torture of human being! :enjoy:

Joke aside. If he really smoke that much one shot and died result of intoxication. That will be too harsh for him.

A RMB 50000 fine is going to make those idiot think twice about breaking the law onboard HSR.

Smoking set to be banned across Philippines


The ban will emulate that already in place in Davao City, where president Duterte was mayor

A nationwide smoking ban is set to be implemented across the Philippines, replicating rules currently observed in president Duterte’s former jurisdiction, Davao City, where he was mayor.

The new rules, which have been drawn up in an executive order and are awaiting the president’s approval, will see all public places across the country – indoor and outdoor – become smoke-free areas.

“What is being done in Davao is set to be done nationwide,” health secretary Pauline Ubial said, the Manila Bulletin reported.



“There will be nobody smoking in public places anymore, whether indoor or outdoor. Parks, bus stations, and even in vehicles. All these are considered public places,” the health secretary said, adding that the executive order is expected to be signed this month.

The move comes two weeks after president Duterte re-stated his plans to ban smoking in the Philippines, claiming that it brought diseases to both smokers and non-smokers, the Philippine Star reported.

***********
I wonder when the first person to be shot for smoking will happen. Also this opens a huge new revenue stream for the cartels.

Not that I view this too negatively, but It strikes me as unenforceable, but maybe there isn't a lot of smoking in the Philippines in the first place?

I expect in China and Japan such a ban would never be possible.

I'd like to note that this didn't go through the Filipino congress. This is an executive order, and only Duterte made this decision. That's very dangerous ground.

starting to see a pattern here now. ban drugs, ban cigarettes, ban alcohol?, ban sugary drinks and food?. this would not only improve peoples lives but save billions of dollars, but pretty sure people would revolt.


can you imagine a President (dictator) doing that in the States?? killing drug dealers/traffickers, banning cigarettes, alcohol, and unhealthy food.

long term this would be revolutionary

In Australia and most western countries, if a dad forces his kids to smoke 12 cigarettes in one go, it will be considered child abuse!

Your dad could be in serious trouble and could end up in jail.

That's our system and culture. I may not like some aspects of them but that's the way it is.

Before some silly poster jumps in and criticize, remember that every culture has their good and bad points.

If you criticize mine, be prepared to accept criticism of yours too!

Perhaps a three step measure:

First caught smoking: Light monetary punishment.
Second caught: Heavy monetary punishment
Third caught: Suspension of the use of HSR system for a fixed period.

But, in the case of the OP story, if the smoking resulted in the halt or disruption of the services (might as well endanger passenger safety, let alone schedule issues), the punishment should start from the second step and, in case it repeats, a total ban because it means there is something chronically wrong with the person.

The radio announcement warns the consequences of smoking on trains at EVERY stop.
If the train stops because of smoking, Life-long ban and 1-5 year jail.
If the train alarm is not triggered, then pay 1000yuan for each passengers and 15 days custody.

Then, this is a good enough precaution. Jail term and mandatory public service for serious violators that endanger public safety will hopefully improve the situation.

I guess, given the size and scope of China HSR services, the violators are not big in number. But, as a rule, China will seek absolute perfection in the services, ensuring similar standards as air travel.

Yes, it's rare. But sometimes you do hear one case every several months in the news.

Keep it clean as it should be, the HSR has to provide quality services for passengers to enjoy the voyage. Lets hope more smoking individuals will understand that this policy is necessary so non smokers can relax and breath more easily.

The Chinese trains and stations I have seen are some of the best. However even in Shanghai there seems to be an excessive number of smokers.

Bringing them to local public security bureau is a good idea.
