In order to encourage some flexibility the government are allowing businesses to print their own no smoking signage provided the end result is correctly placed and meets the minimum requirements set out in the Smoke Free (Signs) Regulations.

Any enclosed or substantially enclosed structure which caters to the public in any way or is a work place must, as the law dictates, display signage. The legislation does allow some flexibility in that businesses and owners may design and print their own signs (in keeping with the décor) provided the minimum accepted standards are met.

Provided the vehicles in question are displaying signage which complies with the minimum requirement that is 70mm in diameter there is no need to carry additional signs.

Vehicles used to transport any members of the public or that are used for the purposes of work must also sport appropriate signage. These vehicle signs must also include the easy to recognise no-smoking symbol of a lit cigarette within a red (70mm diameter) circle with a bar across it.

The Smoke Free legislation states that all public places, vehicles (public use and work related) as well as places of work are required to display the appropriate no-smoking signs. What signs are appropriate are set out in the Smoke Free (Signs) Regulations.

The local council will be able to help source signs that meet the minimum requirements, as would a variety of online health and safety stores and business vendors. Provided a business stays within the guidelines set out by the legislation they are well within their own rights to produce their own no smoking signage.

• Measure at least the same size as an A5 piece of paper (21cm x 14.8cm) • Sport the internationally recognised “no smoking” symbol. This symbol shows a lit/burning cigarette within a red circle of at least 70cm diameter and the usual bar through it to show that something is not allowed. • Read “No smoking. It is against the law to smoke in these premises” in clear and easy to read text. *The text “these premises” may be altered to suit the individual establishment i.e. “this bar” or “this café”. • Smaller signs, still carrying the no smoking symbol may be displayed within premises where the main entrance has the larger sign with text attached. Similarly where a business exists within another i.e. a store within a shopping centre smaller signage may be employed.

Provided the signage meets the Smoke Free (Sign) Regulations businesses may design their own. The guidance for these signs were sent to all Company House registered businesses however further information may be sourced via the local council.
