smoking ban
No cigarettes allowed
A smoking ban is a law or policy prohibiting tobacco smoking in designated areas, typically indoor public spaces like restaurants, bars, workplaces, and airports.
Such bans became widespread in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as evidence mounted about the health risks of secondhand smoke: The smoking ban cleared the air in pubs overnight.
