China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation has prosecuted National Railway Corporation, etc of the public interest litigation of "smoke-free train". This case was concluded that according to the mediation agreement, the three defendants, Beijing Railway Bureau, Lanzhou Railway Bureau and National Railway Corporation, will completely cancel the smoking areas and smoking devices on the trains involved.

After two months, when the reporters of Green Media took the train, they saw that the ashtray at the junction of the train t297 from Beijing to Mudanjiang had been sealed, and the words "no smoking" were marked on the eye-catching position, indicating that smokers would be included in the dishonesty behavior.

This train is a long-distance train that will stop at the station once in about two hours. Every time, in addition to the arriving passengers, there will be a large number of smokers going to the platform to smoke. This would cause serious congestion at the door and affect the departure time of passengers and trains.

The railway department quickly rectified and turned the “Green train” into a smoke-free train, which was a great action.
