🚭
What 🚭 means
A white icon of a lit and burning cigarette, similar in design to the 🚬 Cigarette, pasted onto a black background (or vice versa) while enclosed within a red circular border and an oblique slash.
The 🚭 No Smoking emoji suggests smoking restrictions to all sources of smoking. It symbolizes the act of choosing health, life, and a better lifestyle, apart from indicating that there might be inflammables around.
How and when to use it
- Apart from a restricted smoking area, 🚭 could also be interpreted as 'quitting'. So, if you're texting someone to quit smoking, a reiteration of a decision you made, or even if you're sharing motivational social media posts/reposts of quitting smoking, use 🚭.
- The idiom of 'no smoke' could be supported with 🚭. Like, "Oh, there's no smoke between them anymore 🚭". Similarly, if two people were smoke buddies, 🚭 could be an indication that they're no longer friends.
- If you're sharing content that has an evident image of smoking, 🚭 could be dragged into the caption to indicate that smoking isn't as cool as it is on screen, in real life (aka, it kills).
- And lastly, while typing out a strict restriction in a personal event or a promotional repost, 🚭 - "No smoking in the event premises 🚭".
