No Smoking sign

No Smoking in many languages

This page should help you to recognise the words for No Smoking in a variety of languages. These translations were compiled by Victor Palermo, who started working on it in 1981 when he gave up smoking, and who takes full responsibility for any inaccuracies, grammatical errors or other mistakes.

Victor was inspired by a cartoon he saw (in 1949 or 1950) in the Italian weekly puzzle magazine La Settimana Enigmistica. The cartoon showed a waiting room where six or seven angry-looking men in their typical ethnic attire are sitting and facing a 'No Smoking' sign in their respective languages, while an African man is enjoying his cigarette because the sign does not include Swahili, Hausa or other African languages.
