The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.
The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

Wait what were not supposed to smoke?
Idk the exact reasons (I do not smoke) but my doctor warned me not to smoke, and asked me if I did before prescribing Estradiol. It also days on the box and prescription to avoid smoking.
I think it's a blood clot risk increase thing
YIKES, I had a feeling it had something to do with that.
med talk
fwiw, my understanding is that, while the risk of developing one is higher in those who smoke, it should still be low enough to be within what's reasonable as far as potentially dangerous side effects go. i mean, don't get me wrong, i was nevertheless super paranoid about it for the first lil while, until my much more knowledgeable partner assured me i'm not gonna kick it suddenly
seems to me like it may have been a case of something that's technically true being blown out of proportion for pear clutching purposes
anyway been on hrt for 6 or 7 months now i guess & never smoked as much as i do now lol. like the kinda meds i've had to be on half my life always come with a plethora of statistically more likely messed up side effects & funnily enough no one was ever concerned about any of that
