Smoking in Portugal’s airports
Smoking is generally prohibited in all indoor areas of Portuguese airports, including terminals, waiting areas, check-in halls, and other enclosed spaces accessible to the public. This prohibition applies to both traditional cigarettes and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes).
Many Portuguese airports provide designated outdoor smoking areas for individuals who wish to smoke. These areas are typically located outside the terminal buildings and are equipped with ashtrays and proper ventilation. They are designed to minimize the impact of secondhand smoke on non-smokers.
Airports in Portugal are required to display clear and prominent “No Smoking” signs in accordance with the smoking regulations. These signs serve as visual reminders that smoking is not allowed within the airport premises, including indoor areas.
