The no smoking emoji is the classic red-circle-with-a-slash sign slapped over a lit cigarette—basically the universal way to say, “not here, buddy.” It shows up in chats to mark smoke-free zones (cars, apartments, baby-on-board vibes) or as a gentle PSA from your lungs. On Apple/iOS, you’ll spot a white cigarette with an orange filter and a little puff of gray smoke, centered inside a bright red prohibition circle with a diagonal bar from top-left to bottom-right—clean, flat, and instantly readable like an airport sign. It’s the digital sticker you’d put on your front door if your front door were a group chat.
People use it when setting boundaries, announcing a quit-smoking arc, or captioning photos from places where even thinking about a lighter gets side-eye (hi, elevators and hospital lobbies). In meme-speak, it can mean “no smoke” as in “no drama, no beef,” or the flip—used sarcastically when someone clearly does want all the smoke. It pairs well with lungs and wellness content, New Year’s resolutions, and the mom-friend energy of “house rules apply.” Bonus comedy: drop it with a flight selfie for that “captain says nope” aesthetic or in a thread that’s getting heated to cool things off without typing a paragraph.
Definition
A lit cigarette with a "no" symbol on it. Many places ban (forbid) smoking, such as airplanes. Although, that wasn't always the case. Smoking is an expensive activity that is considered a bad habit because it is highly addictive and terrible for your health. Surgeon General's Warning: Smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema and may complicate pregnancy. Stay away!
