Can I smoke on a long-distance train?

We all know that from 01. 06. 2013 in Russia came into force a law prohibiting smoking tobacco products in public places. Three years ago it was possible to smoke on long-distance rail transport in the vestibule.

Today, smoking citizens have to wait a long time for periodic stops of the vehicle, get out of the car on the platform and smoke on the street. It is not at all surprising that almost all experienced smokers try to circumvent this law.

Where else can you smoke a cigarette while traveling on the train:

1. Tambour: the most common place for smoking cigarettes, but it is not easy to hide from the law enforcement officers;
