An old paper "No Smoking" sign was protected behind thin plastic. The red circle and diagonal line over a cigarette icon was faded and smeared. It almost looked like a water colored sign that had been exposed to rain.

A sign on the back of a building, read (after replacing missing characters):

No Smoking
Within 100 Feet
Of The School

The sign was next to what appeared to be two air intakes. But, of course they could also be air exhausts.

Three no smoking signs were posted vertically next to an entrance to a school. Each sign was in a different language.
