Smoking Area Signs

Our selection of Smoking Area Signs helps businesses and organisations clearly mark designated smoking zones on their premises. Whether you’re ordering for an office, retail store, construction facility or public-facing space, our signs outline expectations and reduce friction between smokers and non-smokers within the workplace. 

All our signs are manufactured using cutting-edge digital printing techniques, ensuring long-lasting print quality that won’t fade easily. Additionally, every design can be finished with optional drilled holes or rounded corners, at no extra charge. 

Ordering is simple, with multiple signage materials and sizes available to suit both indoor and outdoor environments.

Why Designated Smoking Area Signs Are Necessary

Our signs play a vital role in ensuring that non-smokers do not have to come into contact with smokers while they go about their day-to-day lives. They provide a clear cue for where smoking is tolerated, helping protect key entrances and walkways from second-hand smoke. 

Not only are our smoking area safety signs useful for minimising tension and disputes, but they are also mandated by law in many instances. For example, the Smoke-Free (Signs) Regulations 2012 require businesses and organisations to clearly mark areas where smoking is allowed and not allowed. 

Additionally, the Health Act 2006 (Smoke-Free Law) requires businesses and organisations to take reasonable steps to prevent smoking in prohibited areas. Displaying our smoking area safety signs helps you demonstrate compliance with these regulations. 

From a high-level perspective, clear smoking-area signage supports duty of care and shows that smoking arrangements have been properly considered and communicated. In turn, this minimises the risk of costly legal challenges and helps you demonstrate compliance with relevant legislation. 

Signage Material Options and Use Cases

Choosing the right signage material ensures your designated smoking area sign is fully fit for purpose in the environment where it will be displayed. In order to ensure you make the right choice, here’s a brief breakdown of our signage options and their best intended use cases: 

Self-Adhesive Vinyl: For use in indoor environments only. Additionally, they should only be applied to smooth surfaces. Highly affordable and perfect for temporary or short-term use. 

Rigid Plastic: A highly lightweight rigid board option. Best used in indoor or sheltered outdoor environments. Works well in warehouses, staff areas, and smoking shelters.

PVC Foamex: Highly weather-resistant, Foamex Boards are primed for indoor or outdoor usage. They offer 3-5 years of indoor use and 5-7 years of indoor use. 

Aluminium Dibond: Our most durable signage option, Dibond is best used outdoors. It offers up to a decade of use and is completely unfazed by the weather, UV, and general wear and tear.

Choosing the Right Smoking Area Sign

A simple layout with a clear symbol and short wording works best, especially in busy environments. If the smoking area isn’t directly visible, a design with a directional cue, such as “Smoking Area This Way” is probably the best choice. 

For signage materials and finishes, we recommend Foamex or Aluminium Dibond, as these materials are typically used outdoors and require weatherproofing. 

For mounting, we always recommend using our free drilled-hole finish, which lets you easily mount your sign to a variety of surfaces with nails, cable ties, or rope. 

Size also matters. As a general rule of thumb, the longer the viewing distance you want to achieve, the larger the sign should be.
