Verb query
Recently, I have seen this notice ' Smoking not allowed in this area' . Isn't there should be 'is' after the word smoking so the the sentence would be' smoking is not allowed in this area'. Please, clarify my doubt.

Yes, the grammatically full sentence is "Smoking is not allowed in this area". The omission of "is" is characteristic of an abbreviated form of English that may be used in notes, notices, headlines, etc.
