Surely it should be up to individual companies on how they are going to enforce the ban, and the fines should be made if the company fails to prevent smoking, not on the failure to stick signs everywhere.

If smoking is banned in all enclosed public spaces, then surely we do not need the cluttering up of walls and doorways with even more signs. Should we put up "do not kill" signs just in case, as that is illegal too? Road speed signs are more sensibly set out - signs are only needed to show exceptions.
