No smoking signs are essential for designating smoke-free areas in compliance with health regulations. Found throughout New Zealand in workplaces, hospitals, and public transport zones, these signs help maintain clean air and reduce fire hazards. Their preventative messaging reflects principles common in safety & warning signage.
🚭 No Smoking Signs – Stay Compliant & Protect Your People
Smoking restrictions aren’t just about comfort — they’re about health, safety, and legal compliance. Whether you manage a workplace, a public facility, or a vehicle fleet, clear No Smoking signage helps meet national smoke-free laws, reduces fire risk, and maintains a professional, healthy environment.
At Emmjay, New Zealand’s largest online safety sign store, we supply a wide range of No Smoking and Smoke-Free Signs suitable for every setting — from factories, fuel depots, schools, and hospitals to offices, construction sites, and vehicles. Available in multiple sizes and materials, every sign comes with 5-year UV protection at no extra cost, keeping your messages visible and compliant year after year.
Why No Smoking Signs Matter
Under the Smoke-free Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990, New Zealand requires designated workplaces and public areas to be 100 % smoke-free. Proper signage is a critical part of compliance, helping people instantly recognise where smoking and vaping are prohibited.
Key reasons to install clear No Smoking signs:
- ⚠️ Legal compliance: All enclosed workplaces, hospitality venues, and vehicles used for work must display visible “No Smoking” signs.
- 🔥 Fire prevention: Smoking is a major ignition risk near fuel, gas, or flammable materials.
- 💨 Public health: Reinforces your organisation’s commitment to a clean, smoke-free environment.
- 🏢 Professional image: Demonstrates care for staff, customers, and visitors.
- 👷 Worker safety: Protects against second-hand smoke and ensures compliance during audits or inspections.

Q1: Do I need a No Smoking sign in every room?
Not necessarily — but signs must be clearly visible wherever smoking is prohibited, including entrances, loading areas, and vehicles used for work.

Outdoor signs are strongly recommended for smoke-free zones such as building entrances, fuel areas, or public playgrounds.
