Bilingual signs "No smoking or vaping within 9 meters" available in two options

Government-compliant anti-smoking signage

The sign displays the official bilingual message: “Interdiction de fumer ou de vapoter à moins de 9 mètres de toute porte, prise d’air ou fenêtre qui s’ouvre / No smoking or vaping within 9 meters of all doors, air intake locations or windows that open.” It features two clear pictograms—a cigarette and a vape device—each crossed out in a red circle. This visual format reinforces the message and supports public awareness.

In the Province of Québec, the Tobacco Control Act states in section 2.2 that “smoking is prohibited outdoors within a nine-meter radius from any door, air vent or openable window communicating with [most places referred to in section 2].” This sign allows quick identification of the prohibited smoking areas and invites to compliance with the law.

Whether you are for tobacco control because we only have one pair of lungs or because you are looking for letting people know that your work environment’s air and surroundings don’t mix well at all with smoking, there is a sign for you.

Looking to remind your employees that cannabis (marijuana) at work is not acceptable; we have three signs either; the sign “Prohibition of smoke within 9 metres” with the anti-cannabis pictogram (EDEFUMC), the “Zero tolerance” sign (EDFUMZ) or the “Zero tolerance at work” sign (EDEFUMZT).
