NON FUMATORI


Explanation:

This sign appears often in places for people who do not smoke, as opposed to places where it is allowed to smoke and are therefore called "fumatori" (smokers). Example: when booking a train seat you will be asked wheather you want a "fumatori", or "non fumatori" carriage.

si prega di non fumare


Explanation:
io sono d'accordo con i miei colleghi che hanno proposto vietato fumare dal momento che mi sembra la soluzione che corrisponde di più all'originale. Tuttavia, in italiano si trovano una varietà di espressioni che, per dovere di cronaca, è pure bello far conoscere.
Un'altra simpatica espressione è, ad esempio, "sii gentile, non fumare"

No smoking


Explanation:
Se per questo qualche anno fa a chi arrivava a Milano dall'autostrada del sole si presentava un enorme cartello con la scritta:
"Comincia dalla prima sigaretta il lento suicidio dei coglioni"
che rende bene l'idea di "no smoking", ma che non mi sembra sia il caso di usare.
