Description
The non-smoking sign fails as a form of technical communication. It prohibits tobacco consumption on campus but it does not state whether it is referring to smoking only or even chewing. It also raises questions with regards to other substances such as cannabis which is now legal in Massachusetts. Also, it does not state if it is around that sign, at all public spaces, or dorms...
A traditional non-smoking sign with the picture of a cigarette and a red line intersecting would have replaced the need for sentences and would have delivered a more complete message.
