Premises

No smoking signs must: 

• be A5 size - the size of a standard A4 piece of paper folded in half from top to bottom 

• feature the international no smoking symbol, at least 70mm in diameter 

• read: "No smoking. It is against the law to smoke in these premises" in easy to read characters. Substitute words can be used for "these premises" as long as they refer to your particular premises, for example "this hotel" 

• a no smoking sign with only the international no smoking symbol (min. 70mm diameter in red) may be displayed at an entrance not in public use – such as  staff entrances - if at least one standard A5 no smoking sign is already being displayed on the premises. 

Any signage attached to the exterior of the building may require advertisement consent or listed building consent if the premises are listed. 

Vehicle signs

• No smoking signs in vehicles must carry the international no smoking symbol at least 70mm in diameter. 

• If a vehicle contains two compartments, a no smoking sign must be displayed in each compartment, for example, on a train.
