Man in Shanghai detained for 3 days for smoking in Metro station
3 days in the slammer for taking a puff? The Chinese must be serious about this! God only knows what would have happened to the guy in the OP if the incident had happened in China.

Not to mention being caught with Chewing Gum in Singapore
They're only serious when they catch someone. People smoke like chimneys all over this city (Shanghai). Public bathrooms are a major favorite. Interesting the link is from what's on Xiamen as I was down there Tuesday and they smoke like chimneys there too.
Now had it been the OP doing that, considering he was lighting up a blunt, probably a considerable amount of hard time.
[sarc]Guess he wanted her to butt out...[/sarc]
I think the assault charge makes sense, but unless the law was clear to me, I'd chuck the "criminal possession of a weapon" charge if it was for the pen (and assuming that the pen was pretty standard). Sorry, but I'm hard-pressed to call a normal pen a "weapon" subject to any sort of regulation.
