Smoking and drinking are prohibited.
Smoking and drinking is prohibited.
Smoking or drinking is prohibited.
Are all the sentences correct? If so, what is the difference in meaning?
Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
The middle one is wrong. The first could be interpreted to mean you cannot both smoke and drink at the same time but doing either by itself is fine. (I doubt anyone would actually interpret it that way.) The third means don't do either.
