Legal ObligationsLegal ObligationsLegal ObligationsLegal Obligations English Smoking Signs – Legal Obligations The English smoking legislation has been confirmed and requires that: You must display specific signs at each entrance, in a prominent position visible to all employees, customer and visitors. Premises signage must contain a smoking prohibition symbol and be of A5 size or larger containing the wording “No Smoking. It is against the law to smoke in these premises”. Alternatives to the wording can be used when relating specifically to the premises itself (e.g. replace “these premises” with "this hotel"). Secondary ‘employee only’ entrances to smoke-free buildings, where a main entrance has at least one of the above specified signs, require a smoking prohibition symbol of 70mm (Dia.) as a minimum. For entrances to smoke-free premises within another smoke-free premises (e.g. an entrance to a shop within an indoor shopping centre) the minimum requirement is to display a smoking prohibition symbol of at least 70mm (Dia.). All public transport (including taxis, trains and buses) plus business vehicles that may carry more than one specified employee need to display a sign containing a smoking prohibition symbol of at least 70mm (Dia.) in each compartment that could carry passengers (e.g. a black cab must have a sign in the front and the rear of the taxi).
