Please refrain from smoking (請勿吸菸)

This is a sentence I learning last week.  In fact, I confused refrain with resist.  I tried to search a sentence on google to build a relationship on 

resist with “don’t smoking”, but the result is not as my exception.  Finally, it refresh my memory 1 (#1) to bring a different word ‘refrain’ to me.

For me, it is time to practice ‘refrain’ to replace don’t
