To "ban" means to disallow an activity or thing that was once allowed. Often referring to law or rules.
Forbid is to disallow an activity from an authority figure, such as a boss, teacher, parent, landlord etc. But not usually referring to the law.
Prohibit is the same but sounds more formal. Often referring to the law, and often referring to a small area. There may or may not be penalties "Smoking is prohibited with 5 meters of a doorway."
