It Is Against The Law To Smoke In These Premises Signage
No Smoking It Is Against The Law To Smoke In These Premises Sign is a prohibition sign for managers, employers and premises owners who need to make smoke-free rules clear at entrances, reception points, offices, shops and shared workplaces before smoking causes legal or safety issues.
Where This No Smoking Law Sign Should Be Displayed
You should install this sign at main entrances, staff doors, reception counters, corridors and shared indoor spaces where people may otherwise miss your smoking policy. Clear eye-level positioning helps visitors, contractors and employees see the rule before entering or lighting a cigarette.
Viewing Distance Guidance For Each Sign Size
Choose the size by how quickly people need to read the message. Smaller signs suit close-range doors, while larger formats work better across foyers, corridors and open workplace areas where visibility matters from several metres away.

|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 300 mm | Approx. 3–5 metres | Doors, small offices and counter areas |
| H 250 x W 350 mm | Approx. 5–8 metres | Receptions, corridors and shared entrances |
| H 300 x W 500 mm | Approx. 8–12 metres | Larger foyers, public buildings and busy workplaces |
What This Sign Helps Change On Site

No Smoking Premises Sign Questions Answered
What is the No Smoking It Is Against The Law To Smoke In These Premises Sign used for? It is used to make the smoking ban clear in smoke-free premises, helping you warn people before they smoke indoors.
Where should I place this sign for best effect? Fit it where people naturally enter, pause or gather, such as doors, reception points, corridors, staff entrances and shared workplace areas.
Should I choose rigid plastic or self-adhesive vinyl? Choose vinyl for smooth indoor doors and flat surfaces. Choose rigid plastic where you need a tougher sign fixed to walls, entrances or semi-exposed areas.
Does the pictogram matter as much as the wording? Yes. The red no smoking pictogram gives fast visual recognition, while the wording removes doubt about the legal smoking restriction on the premises.
Is one no smoking sign enough for a large workplace? One legible sign may meet the basic duty, but larger or busier premises usually need several signs so people see the rule before entering or moving through the building.
