nonsmoking

Where puffers aren't

Nonsmoking describes spaces where smoking is prohibited or people who don't smoke.

A nonsmoking section of a restaurant bans cigarettes; a nonsmoking employee abstains from tobacco.

The word emerged as public health concerns led to designated smoke-free areas: We requested nonsmoking rooms at the hotel.
