Hi,

I would like to get clarified on the preposition that should be used here. Should it be

"This is a smoke-free facility and smoking is strictly prohibited at the entire premises" or

"This is a smoke-free facility and smoking is strictly prohibited in the entire premises"

The intention here is to convey smoking is prohibited anywhere in the office.

I'd say "This is a smoke-free facility and smoking is strictly prohibited on the entire premises."

But to me this seems to be saying the same thing twice.

You could also say simply 'Smoking is prohibited anywhere in the office' or even just 'No smoking'.
