What does "no smoking" mean???

[Willow3]

So, I'm left wondering... when I listed my property and check "no smoking" - that meant to me, that there was to be no smoking, inside or out.  But as I read the forums, many interpret it to mean no smoking indoors only.  

I just had a guest chain smoke on the patio - and I feel he didn't follow the house rules.  But maybe I'm alone in this thinking?

"No Smoking" to me means no smoking inside the property. 

However, I can see how you wouldn't necessarily want someone smoking near windows or leaving cigarette butts laying around, so it should be your right to clarify that it is no smoking on the entire property, but you might want to add extra wording to the rules so people understand that.

I am at an air bnb right now. There is a no smoking policy. I interpreted it as no smoking in or out side. They said the neighbors do not like it. So I someone who smokes I  go away from the property and smoke as I walk down the main road. Which is four houses away from the one I’m at. I believe if you smoke go for a walk and don’t light up till you are away from the property.
