No Smoking Signs

No Smoking Signs are visual indicators that convey the message "Smoking is not allowed in this area." They are typically designed using specific colours and shapes to make the message understandable without needing more words.

No Smoking Signs are used in various public places, workplaces, and facilities to inform people that smoking is prohibited in those areas. They help maintain a smoke-free environment and ensure the safety and well-being of individuals.

In Australia, these signs follow specific standards set by the Australian Standard AS 1319-1994. This standard provides guidelines on the design and use of safety signs, including No Smoking Signs.

Colours and Shapes: No Smoking Signs in Australia typically use specific colours and shapes for easy recognition:

• Colours: They primarily use a combination of white and either red or black. The white symbolises the message, and the red or black background makes it stand out and signifies prohibition.

• Shapes: These signs often feature a circle with a diagonal line through it (similar to a 'no entry' sign) over a cigarette symbol. This shape is universally recognised to mean "No Smoking."
