With the exception of service locations, wherever this ordinance prohibits smoking and the use of electronic smoking devices, conspicuous signs shall be posted. Signs of similar size containing the international “no smoking” symbol consisting of a pictorial representation of a burning cigarette and electronic smoking device enclosed in a red circle with a red bar across it may be used in addition to or in lieu of any signs required hereunder. Such signs shall be placed by the owner, operator, manager, or other persons having control of such room, building, or other place where smoking and the use of electronic smoking devices is prohibited. Signs placed at each entrance of buildings in which smoking is totally prohibited shall be sufficient. The absence of signs shall not be a defense to a violation of any provision of this chapter.
