Overview

As vaping has grown into a mainstream alternative to traditional cigarettes, property managers across Los Angeles have faced a new compliance challenge — their existing smoking area signs say nothing about e-cigarettes, leaving vapers uncertain about whether the designated area applies to them and creating inconsistency in how the space is used. This Designated Smoking and Vaping Area sign resolves that ambiguity directly by placing both a cigarette icon and a vaping device icon side by side in matching green circles, making it immediately clear that this area has been designated for both forms of tobacco and nicotine use.

The dual-icon format is the defining feature of this sign — two green-circle symbols presented as equals, neither subordinate to the other, communicating that the designation covers the full range of modern smoking behavior without hierarchy or fine print. The bold “DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA” text below anchors the message with the familiar designation language that smokers and non-smokers alike already recognize, while the dual icons above expand its scope to include vaping without requiring any additional signage. For Los Angeles hospitality properties, entertainment venues, office campuses, and multi-tenant commercial buildings where both smoking and vaping are common, this sign eliminates confusion, reduces staff intervention, and keeps both groups in the right place.
