The Kyushu and Sanyo Shinkansen lines announced the removal of smoking rooms from their trains by March 16. This initiative by JR Kyushu and JR West aims to prevent passive smoking. Following the removal, emergency drinking water will be stored in the former smoking areas. This change makes all cars on both Shinkansen lines completely smoke-free. Source: NHK / JR Kyushu
