When saying must not in french?
Would I say:
On ne doit pas fume parce que...
or:
On doit ne fume pas parce que...
Thanks x
As well as meaning 'don't have to' devoir (doit) can mean must/should. In this context it means 'You shouldn't/mustn't smoke because...'

On ne doit pas fumer parce que..
negation :
ne + verb + pas
ex. Je ne pars pas - I don't leave
je ne dors pas - I don't sleep
je ne parle pas - I don't speak
je ne sais pas - I don't know
Salut
@kaelindra : Juste, j'ai modifié le 'on' et je ne me suis pas relue. Merci

In France you often see 'Defense de fumer' - smoking not allowed.

Well that would be a shabby american translation all around.
But it's
"On ne doit pas fumer parce-que"
Which mean "You don't need to smoke because"
It sounds silly.
Depending on the context.
"Ne fumez pas"
"C'est interdit de fumer ici"
"Il faut quitter les cigarettes"
"Il faut laissez tomber"

Please Ginam pay attention to your writing, there are many mistakes in it !
It's not "je ne part pas" but "je ne parS pas".
And it's not "je ne dort pas" but "je ne dorS pas".
The answer to your question is, as everyone said, "on ne doit pas fumer parce que..."
