    Apart from the ‘don’t dead open inside’

    A “NoSafetySmokingFirst” is actually subtly different from a “DontDeadOpenInside”.

    In a “NoSafetySmokingFirst”, the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

    This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

    But yes, format aside, it seems like a nice initiative :)

      I didn’t know about the difference. Thank you for letting me know!
