Please Do Not Smoke - Thank You - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A polite and respectful way to remind people that smoking is not allowed in a particular area. Using courteous language helps encourage compliance without sounding too strict or confrontational, which can be especially effective in places where maintaining a friendly atmosphere is important.

These signs are often used in public spaces like parks, outdoor seating areas, building lobbies, entrances, and residential complexes—places where smoking might not be legally banned but is discouraged to protect the comfort and health of others. The polite tone helps raise awareness while fostering goodwill, making people more willing to follow the request voluntarily.

The sign also works well in environments like offices, schools, or small businesses where management wants to maintain a smoke-free space but prefers a softer approach. It gently reinforces rules while showing appreciation for cooperation, which can reduce conflicts and improve overall compliance.

In essence, a Please Do Not Smoke – Thank You sign is best placed in areas where smoking is discouraged to promote health and comfort, and where a courteous reminder encourages people to respect the no-smoking policy in a positive, non-authoritative way.
