No Smoking on Die Bahn

SouthPaw:
Hey folks,

Thought some people may be interested in THIS STORY from Spiegel Online.

The basic gist of the article is that local trains will be non-smoking from 1st July, with long distance trains to follow from 1st of September.

Cheers,

Southie

Nightfox:
All flights are smoke free, even intercontinental ones.
I have nothing against smokers but in such small rooms as trains where you cant hide from the smoke its a good solution.

Okami:
Yepp. But anyway most smokes go to the traintoilet to smoke just because they can't stop for some hours.

Sadly, yes...A possible solution to that being to install a smoke detector in the toilet, and if anyone lights up apply the emergency brake, accompanied by a loud siren and announcement saying, "Someone's smoking in the toilet." ;)

But that'd be cruel...

Cheers,

Southie

Nice idea, but why disturb every other passenger with this emergency brake and all the consequences in terms of delays, annoyance, broken arms due to falling, etc. when you can just install a sprinkler, with little water, but a high sensitivity on the sensor. They can't even blame anyone for this, then :)
