What does 🚭 No Smoking mean?
A cigarette inside a crossed-out circle, the familiar no-smoking sign. It is used literally for smoke-free venues, hotel rooms and trains, and personally by people who are quitting: streak updates, New Year resolutions and proud check-ins. It also shows up in health campaigns and debates about vaping. The message is a calm, clear rule rather than outrage.
🚭 No Smoking is an emoji from the Symbols category (warning signs), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about forbidden, not, prohibited and smoke.
