Overview

At first glance this sign and its companion piece look nearly identical — same dual icons, same green border, same horizontal format. But one word makes all the difference: “AND VAPING.” Where the previous version relies on the vaping device icon to extend the designation to e-cigarette users, this sign spells it out explicitly in the text — “DESIGNATED SMOKING AND VAPING AREA” — leaving absolutely no room for interpretation. For properties operating under specific California or Los Angeles vaping ordinances, or for facilities where a legal record of explicit vaping permission is important, having the word “VAPING” in the posted sign text rather than implied by an icon can be a meaningful compliance distinction.

This explicit language also serves a practical communication purpose in environments where visitors may not recognize the vaping device icon — older demographics, international guests, or anyone unfamiliar with e-cigarette imagery will read “AND VAPING” in the text and understand immediately that their device is welcome in this space. The three-line text layout — DESIGNATED / SMOKING / AND VAPING AREA — gives each element generous vertical space, making the full message easy to read even at a distance. For Los Angeles properties that want both visual icon recognition and written legal clarity in a single panel, this is the more complete and defensible choice.
