No Smoking Signs

No Smoking Signs: Buying Guide

No Smoking signs can be seen everywhere. They are part of everyday life because of the smoking ban in place in every public building, and even some public spaces. As an employer it is your responsibility to ensure that signage is displayed to remind guests not to smoke on the premises or to direct them to an area where they can safely smoke.

Are No Smoking Signs a Legal Requirement?

No smoking signs are a legal requirement in the UK. Employers must ensure that:

• No smoking signs, such as a no smoking window sign and no smoking window stickers or free-standing no smoking signs, are displayed in any enclosed workplace, public building, or on public transport


• In Wales, these no smoking signs appear in English and Welsh, such as our ‘It’s against the law to smoke on these premises’ sign


• Keep in mind that public transport includes taxis

Luckily, Seton has you covered with its No Smoking Vehicle Sign. These no smoking signs for cars:

• Clearly communicate your no smoking policy


• Come in a range of sizes and durable materials


• Conform to ISO 7010 where applicable

Apart from displaying the required symbol for no smoking, employers must ensure that no one smokes in or on a premises or vehicle. Failure to do this can result in heavy financial penalties.

We have a wide range of no smoking signs in various sizes and materials. Signs are available in singles or an economical pack of six, so whether you need just one or two, or a dozen or more, there is an affordable option available to you.

Importance of No Smoking Signs Around Flammable or Hazardous Materials

If your company deals with flammable or hazardous substances, it is vital that all visitors and staff are aware of the no smoking policy in place. Smoking in an area that contains such substances can lead to severe injury, or worse. Making sure that you have immediately visible warning signs is the best way to let people know which areas present a risk.

Yes or No For Electronic Cigarettes

Many people turn to electronic cigarettes as an alternative to smoking. The law does not prohibit them, but they can still be an irritation for non-smokers. As such, it’s up to you to either ban or allow them.

Electronic cigarettes are an alternative to traditional cigarettes, but even these devices are banned in some places. Our E-cigarette Signs will help you show people where it is permissible to smoke electronic cigarettes and where it is not.

Where Do I Find Legal No Smoking Signs?

The law prescribing the requirements for no smoking signs is the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. All our signs adhere to these prescriptions, so you can purchase all your signs under one roof.

Smoking is also prohibited in some vehicles. It is therefore recommended that you use no smoking stickers for vehicles to remind both driver and passengers that it is an offence to smoke in the vehicle.

Deluxe signs are also available. For example, if you own a bar, bistro or hotel, you may be looking for a more upmarket sign. Materials available include aluminium, brass or polyester.

We supply our range of no smoking signs in an assortment of materials and finishes – for more information, please see our sign material guide.

Don’t forget to add sign fixings to your order. Many of our signs are supplied with self-adhesive backing. However, you may wish to add alternative fixing supplies, depending on the intended location of your new no smoking signs.
