Istifta 117 — Dealing with laws in non-Muslim countries

In some means of transportation, there are signs that say, “No Smoking”. Is it permissible to ignore those signs and smoke?
Answer
If that sign is like an additional condition for riding in that vehicle, or an official by-law of the government, and the passenger has given commitment to abide by the official laws, it is necessary for him to act according to that condition and his undertaking.
