Question

Answer

They are interchangeable synonyms.

Answer

They are sometimes used as synonyms but there is a slight difference in meaning.

'Prohibit' is used when something is not allowed because there is a rule/regulation/law against it.
'Forbid' is used when something is not allowed but there is not necessarily an official rule/law against it.

E.g.  Smoking is prohibited in this restaurant BUT My mum forbade us from smoking in the house.
