multi pronged strategy needs to be implemented:
a) smoking/ substance cessation programs to be started.
b) if you have a huge building then it makes sense to have a pantry fitted with extra exhaust to double as smoking corner.
c) stay away from hypocrisy eg having a no smoking policy while the CEO n top mgmt smoke freely in a corner.

hmmm...
my colleagues and i smoke and our company has a no smoking policy inside its building... so what do we smokers do? we comply and go to a designated smoking area to puff our lives away hehehehehhehee
designate a place for smoking, inform and enforce your non-smoking policy, penalize those who do not comply.
but if you have employees who are hard headed and do not want to follow rules and regulations, then you have another issue in your hands. good luck!

Initially I thought, it is all about smoking problems in respect of colleagueship / interpersonal relationship!! From the response of others, I altered my understanding.
Anyway, smoking is to be definitely avoided in work places especially premises with centralized AC system. We should not pave way for passive smoking as it is very dangerous.
In our organization (which has centralized AC System) we do not encourage smoking in the office rooms. People would go to toilets where high-power exhaust fan would suck the tobacco- filled air. We strictly follow this.
At the same time catchy petty hoardings will be very useful and the words should be positive like "THANKS FOR NOT SMOKING", "YOU MAKE OTHERS HAPPY AND HEALTHY WHEN NOT SMOKING - PLEASE REMAIN NON SMOKING". Negative wordings like DO NOT SMOKE etc. will seldom fetch desired results as our brains never process negative instructions.
Frequent training programs on giving up smoking can be arraigned may be with family members as a part of employee welfare activities. There is no born smokers - they train their minds initially to accept tobacco (in any form). So there is every possibility to retrain the mind to desist from smoking.
Video programs on the evils of smoking will be very useful as visual presentation directly enters sub conscious mind.
Counsellors and Hypnotheraphists like me can be helpful for the people who really want to give up smoking. Employ/engage them.
All the best my friend.

"Smoking injures your health - No smoking insures your health"
Tobacco is a dirty weed. I like it.
It satisfies no normal need. I like it.
It makes you thin, it makes you lean,
It takes the hair right off your bean
It's the worst darn stuff I've ever seen.
I like it.
The best way to stop smoking is to just stop - no ifs, ands or butts. ~Edith Zittler
The public health authorities never mention the main reason many Americans have for smoking heavily, which is that smoking is a fairly sure, fairly honorable form of suicide. ~Kurt Vonnegut
It's all one thing - both tend into one scope -
To live upon Tobacco and on Hope,
The one's but smoke, the other is but wind.
~Sir Robert Aytoun of Kincaldie, "Sonnet on Tobacco"
The cigarette does the smoking - you're just the sucker. ~Author Unknown
