No Smoking Sign

[lovemykidstoo]

I know I have to have a no smoking sign up for licensing, but I"ll admit I don't. My business is in my home and noone smokes here, on the property during business or after business. I just don't like that idea of having that sign by my front door. What ways do you display the sign? I'm open to ideas. If I had anyone ever smoke here I'd be worried about it, but in 17 years I haven't had it once.

I have a cross stitch picture that says "thank you for not smoking!"
Nobody smokes in my home, ever. Wouldn't allow it even if I didn't have the daycare :P

I just put mine on the parent board with all the other required stuff.

My sign is in the entryway just below the remove shoes sign. They are just laminated pieces of paper.
However I have posted the sign in a photo frame before.
I have heard of a provider using a cork board to post anything that she was required to post, then during the off hours, flipping the board over to reveal a picture.

I don't either and actually I just have 1 family (sil) that does smoke, so it's not an issue at all.

That's what I tried to do before, but my board is in my playroom and not everyone goes that far into the house, so not sure if that would be allowed. I'm going to ask though when I get inspected.

I love the idea of it being the back to a regular picture. I do have a little table right by the front door that is right where parents drop off. That just may work! It doesn't have to be outside then right?

I have a small oval wood hanging plaque that says no smoking that I put on the door. It kind of hangs in the middle of a large kiddie alphabet wreath so it can be seen but disguised a little as well.

I found this on Etsy. That kinda reminded me of your idea.

What do you guys think. Does it have to be more apparent than this or would this work. It's about 4 X 4

My health/env inspector says mine works but the next inspector might say "no"....You just never know! ::

I got thinking about the back of a pic, so I made this initial sign. What do you think? I'm going to do it a little different. Maybe draw something on it in the corners to make it look nice. This sign I got from one of my daycare moms, so I can just flip it during hours. It already sits on the table right where they come in in the morning.

I slapped a vinyl sticker on my storm door. I also have "Smile. You're on camera" and "No soliciting" signs on there.

I like the vinyl sticker sign CH posted.

You can find so many cute ideas on Etsy for stickers too.


But man, I find it ridiculous that your regs say you even need to post something like that.
I have in my handbook that there is no smoking on site but that's meant to inform parents that nobody here smokes not that I need to tell other families to refrain.
I guess I never even thought about others approaching my door with a cigarette.

I know. Isn't that ridiculous? Like my house is not my home. grrr I don't want it up all the time. I like the stickers too. I'm going to try and get away with the sign that I posted above that I can flip around everyday. If that doesn't work, I'll do the vinyl sticker.

It is actually a misdemeanor, that is why we must inform them.

It has been a reg here since the '90's. I don't even see the signs anymore, they have been required so long.

The vinyl is great in that you can take them down and put them back up when you want.
