Laws behind smoking in trains:
You need to be careful if you have been smoking on the train since it could cost you a lot of money. The Indian Railways considers taking harsh measures against passengers who are caught smoking in trains, including arresting them. Section 167 of the Railways Act specifies that anyone found smoking in a compartment despite prohibition or objection from a co-passenger is liable for a fine of up to ₹100.
