The designation shall be made before the place of public assembly is made available to the public. In places included in division (a)(1) of this section, the local fire authority having jurisdiction shall designate the no smoking area.

In places included in division (a)(2) of this section which are also included in division (a)(1) of this section, the officer who has authority to designate the area in places in division (a)(2) of this section shall designate the no smoking area. A no smoking area may include the entire place of public assembly.
