No smoking Emoji

Symbols

A dark blue or black square featuring a lit cigarette with a red circle and a diagonal slash struck through it. This graphic clearly indicates that tobacco use is not permitted in the immediate area.

Usage Context

Used in digital communication to signal that smoking is banned or to express disapproval of tobacco use. It often serves as a digital version of the physical signage found in airports, office buildings, and public transit. It is frequently grouped with related health or restriction symbols like 🚫 or ⚠️.

History

This symbol was added to Unicode 6.0 in 2010. It reflects the global move toward smoke-free public spaces that gained significant momentum in the early 2000s, standardizing the international icon used to denote restricted zones.
