Dear Sir or Madam,
Smoking must be prohibited within 25 feet of building entries, outdoor air intakes, and operable windows. A designated smoking area must be located at least 25 feet away from building openings.
We are working on a NC office building with no operable windows in the ground and first floor. Operable windows are only planned for floor 02-06. Does smoking must be prohibited within 25 feet of the building in areas with no entries and no outdoor air intakes?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Florian, maybe you could adjust the language on your smoking signage (placed within 10 feet of entrances) to say "Smoking is prohibited within 25 feet of the building" or "No smoking allowed within 25 feet of this building". That way you cover the entire building perimeter, including where there may be 2nd floor operable windows but no air intakes or entrances. Does that make sense?
