The law requires covered establishments to display appropriate No Smoking signs or the international No Smoking symbol in locations where smoking is prohibited.
Required signs must be prominently displayed and properly maintained so employees, customers, and visitors can identify smoke-free areas. Establishments qualifying for smoking exceptions may have separate signage requirements.
