Smoking in Spanish airports
Smoking is generally prohibited indoors at Spanish airports. This includes terminal buildings, lounges, and other enclosed areas accessible to the public. However, most airports provide designated outdoor smoking areas or smoking zones located outside the terminal buildings. These areas are typically equipped with ashtrays and designated smoking signs.
To comply with smoke-free legislation, terminal buildings at Spanish airports are generally smoke-free. Smoking inside the terminals, including public areas, corridors, and waiting areas, is typically not allowed.
The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) indoors at airports follows the same restrictions as traditional smoking. Most airports treat e-cigarettes similarly to regular cigarettes, and their usage is prohibited in indoor areas. Passengers are generally required to use designated outdoor smoking areas or smoking zones if they wish to use e-cigarettes.
Spanish airports display prominent “No Smoking” signs throughout the terminals, indicating that smoking is not permitted indoors. These signs are typically displayed in multiple languages for the convenience of international travelers.
