Are there any no-smoking requirements in elevators?

Yes, Article 18 of the "Implementation Rules of the Regulations on Health Management of Public Places"

Smoking is prohibited in indoor public places. Operators of public places should set up eye-catching no-smoking warnings and signs.

Smoking areas set up in outdoor public places shall not be located on passages that pedestrians must pass through.

Automatic cigarette vending machines are not allowed in public places.

Operators of public places should carry out publicity on the health hazards of smoking and deploy full-time (part-time) personnel to discourage smokers.

Extended information:

The elevator car is a relatively closed space with poor ventilation and slow odor dispersion. Smoking will seriously affect subsequent passengers. Elevators are public spaces, and smoking in the elevator is uncivilized.

1. Please do not smoke in the elevator. It can easily cause the air in the elevator to be unclean.

2. Please consider the other passengers in the elevator. Among them may be patients with pharyngitis, rhinitis, or cold, who may easily injure others.

3. The elevator is a sealed environment, which can easily cause others to be exposed to second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke inhales more toxins than smokers.

4. When the elevator rises at high speed, there is a lot of friction. If smoke sparks fall on the elevator, it is easy to cause a fire and cause a safety accident.
