Final answer:

Ashtrays are not permitted on dining tables even if "No Smoking" signs are displayed.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Ashtrays are not permitted on dining tables even if "No Smoking" signs are displayed. In many countries, including Bhutan and Ireland, regulations have been introduced to ban smoking in enclosed spaces and public places. For example, Bhutan has made it illegal to sell tobacco, and cities in China have introduced restrictions on smoking in public places. In countries like Bhutan and Ireland, as well as certain cities in China, such as Beijing, there have been significant efforts to restrict smoking in public places, with strict laws put in place. Therefore, keeping ashtrays in areas where smoking is prohibited would be inconsistent with the intent of these laws. While the presence of a "No Smoking" sign is an indicator of a smoking ban in effect, it is the actual legislation and enforcement that determine whether ashtrays could still be allowed on tables within such environments.
